It's the form factor that makes a razor so desirable! Heard the camera is still crap on the new one.

The camera is pretty crappy. It is a phone after all, not a camera. And you are correct on the form factor making it so popular. Compared to a lot of phones out there, it is an artistic masterpiece.
In a barrier free world, who needs Windows™ and Gates?

Nice one, MindFad. Didn't know it came with iTunes, how does that work? Have you had a chance to test what kind of battery life you're getting out of it.

Looks geat, btw.

I don't own an iPod, but apparently it works just the same. I plugged it in using the included USB cable, and iTunes popped up with some options—and I was off, putting tunes on there, albeit through slow USB 1. You can put up to 50 songs on it. The little iTunes button on the phone essentially turns the phone into an iPod (same menus and all). It's really cool. I can't see myself using it too often, but it's neat to have there if I ever wanted to hear some tunes (I stuck a few albums on there).

Haven't tested the battery life, no. But I charged it last night. Still full strength as of this morning, so I guess that's a good sign.

One thing, though: I've already gotten a few text messages already that are just blank and are listed from a "@*"—where the star actually looks like a little beer bottle character; I've no idea what it is. I don't know if it's T-Mobile trying to send me messages that are corrupting on the new phone, or what. And it shows that I now have two lines, but that I am using line 1 currently (showing the other line's number gives me nothing). I thought T-Mobile was tied to the SIM. I'm not privy to cellphone network protocol, but is there any setting I need to activate on T-Mobile's site, or someone I need to tell at T-Mobile, "Yo, I got e anew phone, son" to fix this text message and phone line silliness?

Well, this is exactly the problem right here: http://forums.mobiledia.com/topic33414.html

I get a "_@" when a voicemail comes in, and then another "_&" or something when I delete a voicemail. I need some kind of frickin' seem editor? W-w-what? Is there no easier way than screwing with the phone software? I'd call T-Mobile, but I can only imagine they will have absolutely no friggin' idea. I suppose I can live with it, but it is a bit irritating.
