Correct, but with TF3d running on it winmo 6.5 is virtually non existent unless you decide to turn it off. The n900 does have a slightly better camera though i'll give them that. Think they are using a Carl Zeiss 5mp camera. But the processor on there is not messing with a 1 ghz snapdragon processor. Theirs i believe is running on a 600 mhz processor. Also the capacitive screen is going to be better on the Leo as it allows better touch screen functions, true multi touch, pinch zoom like on the iphone. The N900 is still using a resistive screen, 3.5 at that. This beast is a 4.3 cap screen. I'd put my money on the Leo.

Don't really see what's that bad about WM 6.5 or 6.5.1. Yeah it's not a complete remake, but no one should have expected that this soon or with WM7 already in the works.

Tons of people having been using it for quite a while now.

And the 6.5 touch friendly components + TF3D or SPB MS 3.5, you're set. Unlike most of these other OSes (and it doesn't really matter which one you are talking about) almost everything can be changed....

Well if it goes to Sprint VZW is sure to follow. But Sprint doesen't have the juice to carry this. I wanted the Imagio from VZW. But I have to try and hold out for this or maybe pay the ETF when it comes and switch

Is to figure out whos getting this thing.
Also Sony Ericson has one that will give this thing a
run for the money.
I did read where Vodaphone was gonna be releasing it
in the UK. Voda is VZW and if thats the case well
maybe things are promising for VZW in the US.
But like I said before HTC spreads the love.
Iphone kiss my grits

Here is one for u. Seeing how google and vzw just signed a new pact.

Your bet would be correct; I found and article sorry I didn't link it
but AT&T/Tmobile. But eventually it will come to VZW..........
I will have to deal with a 3.63" instead of an 3.83"
Whoa is me; with the google vzw agreement.
VZW will have too much juice for them not to
be able to get something comparable

GSM carriers are always the safe bet =P

Depends on the date, id be really torn between the HD2 or the Xperia X3 and would have to be GSM.

I hope it drops on T-Mo so id have 3G, but i think the biggest thing is that this UI while it has 6.5 underpinnings is completely modded and can go to WinMo7 when released, meaning this phone will have some longevity to it. I figure if i buy a new phone its going to be packing some spectacular hardware to last atleast until a full two years without upgrading.

Its gonna be hard I know but I would wait...........
I may have to open an account with AT&T.....
Hey maybe it's good to have two different carries just in case....

Buying high end phones for longevity is kinda futile imo. If you are willing to pay enough to get that kind of a phone, even if it still gets upgrades down the line you aren't going to be satisfied with it by then compared to what's out.

U know you're right; besides the following year VZW LTE rollout begins.
Thats why I am mainly sticking with VZW. That network will be smokin

[papped]

Yeah, that's another issue. New network is going to make all the current phones worthless to high end adopters, whether they get OS upgrades or not.

Thats what we must keep in mind and VZW will be at the fore of the upgrade.
So the end of next year is when things will really start to get interesting.
