I like the look of it and the features, especially the voice activation features and GPS. Very cool at first glance and something to consider as I'm due for a new phone soon. I'll be curious to see how good those features are in use.
Personally, I feel that there's no way your going to get many, if any, Mac users away from their iPhone. Most are way too fanatical about Apple to consider buying anything else or even admitting that another product may be superior to a product that Apple makes.

Came across this announcement today, and I'm pretty excited! I used to use an HP iPaq every day
(check out my pics - you can even see the scratches on the screen protector!) So the new iPaq 900 Business Messenger is right up my alley.
This phone looks beautiful... I love the jet black case, and I certainly hope my eyes aren't fooling me into believing that it's a backlit blue keyboard that I see there. Definitely sharp.
It's packed with features too:
- 3G speeds/Bluetooth 2.0 w/ EDR/Wireless b/g
- Windows Mobile Professional 6.1
- Unlocked!
- 3.0 MP Camera (iPhone 3G doesn't have this!) with Snapfish upload
- Voice Commands/Activation
- GPS w/ turn by turn driving instructions
So all in all, it looks awesome. Since I'm a huge cellphone geek, I'd love to get my hands on this when it comes out.
Another thing I'm wondering is if this the phone to attract iPhone/Mac users back to Windows Mobile... since the MobileMe service from Mac that should go live on July 11th will support Outlook as well as Mac native apps... and it has some features the iPhone 3G doesn't offer. This is in addition to being able to integrate with your WHS, too.
So, what do you think? Can't wait to get your hands on it?
