Wow, so nice. Hopefully the HSDPA version won't be tied to a single operator in Europe...

I think it looks sweet, but I wish it had a slightly larger screen...and availability on other networks wouldn't hurt.

Also, Palm clearly wants every web developer ever on the PalmOS bandwaggon. With this, they can build native software for the platform that integrates with their own web services while still wearing the web developer hat. It's a smart choice, really. The reason the iPhone sucks at it is because Apple's idea of third party software was a web site viewed inside the Safari browser, kind of third class citizens versus software by the mighty apple. The issue was not that web sites are built with the HTML, CSS and Javascript languages.
I'm really looking forward to the exact details on their Linux software stack. I'm sure they must be using a lot of common Linux platform stuff, so it'll be fun to learn what. The more able contributors the better!
The instant messaging stuff sounds like it has a Telepathy back end, and if it is that'll really bring a smile to my face.

It's nice to see Palm back in the game after all these years.
Also here is the Sprint site for the phone.
