No the 9700 will not launch in North America first.

I only have an 8GB and it works great with that. I may pick up a larger one in the next week or so.

Great info PG! Do you have any way of checking if the phone is capable of UMA? I do believe ATT doesn't support the service, but I am with Rogers which does support it.

The version I have doesn't have this feature

(first post!)

Is anyone else bummed about the faux leather backing? That's the only thing that bugs me about the Onyx now (and the Bold too). But I guess eventually there will be replacement back covers available? I'd love something more like the metal cover on the storm. Or the carbon fiber look that was on some of the prototypes.

Also, do we know what the processor is yet, specifically?

I've been getting sick and tired of my iPhone 3G, and the Onyx might be my next phone. Debating between that or one of the upcoming Android phones. The Xperia 3 is looking pretty sweet, but who knows when that's coming out...

IMO this is a good thing. The device doesn't slide on the dash. The metal cover on the 8900 scratches easy or at least mine did...

I expect it to launch like the photos.
