I think this is going to be my next phone. Based on the specs, it's probably the best deal out there. And it ha an unlocked bootloader too!

I will eventually part with my n900. But I don't like even htc's build quality. I seriously doubt this one will be any better. For example I was reading today Anand's review of an android slider and he was mentioning that the slider on his previous htc qwerty only lasted 3-4 months which "was expected" ! Common, my n900 is as firm and snappy as in the first days

Exactly. I wonder why OMAP 4s are extremely rare these days,
I always prefer TI OMAP above all vendors, but I got attracted to Samsung's new Exynos chipset, so I bought an SGS2. Even Tegra II doesn't appeal to me as much...

Well, you get what you pay for. For 300 bucks, I think the specs are really great. The lack of keyboard sucks, but there are very few phones that have a keyboard, so it's not like we have many choices :/

It says it has GSM, and all the basic feature I desire, on top of that it comes with a powerful cpu, gpu, os. What more could you ask for, a low price? wait...sweet!

I wonder if we can pre-order 29-8 these from overseas?
Maybe PayPal it for buyer protection?
