Does anyone know if this will be available in unlocked/developer version similar to the G1?

#12Why the little bend at the bottom? It doesn't seem very pocket friendly.
That's a way to protect the trackball if you lay the phone face down on a flat surface. On the G1, it is not that pocket unfriendly.

#13Flash support?! Ughh... I was hoping that widespread proliferation of numerous (and varying) mobile platforms will kill this junk and accelerate HTML/JS/CSS progress.
Hoping that the industry and community will adopt better technologies is fine, but did you seriously think they wouldn't adopt the format that YouTube uses? Further, do you really fault them for it?

Bordering on off-topic, isn't this why YouTube needs to support more output formats?

It seems to be like it'll be sell unlocked from HTC.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would assume for face contour. Does seem a bit odd, but overall it's pretty thin so should still be pocketable.
Amusing - because I love my phone so much that I want to feel it all over my skin? ;-)
Well, it also helps with hand contour. And it makes it easy to identify the phone's orientation by touch.
And it encourages you to put the phone in your pocket the right way around... If you read the G1 user manual (yeah, yeah, I know), there is a curious passage advising you to keep the back of the phone 1.5 cm from the body.

#18Argh, they got the clock wrong again. The video shows the time as 10:08, but the clock widget displays 10:23.

#19Can't find any info on the price on Google. Any idea how much it'll cost? (in Europe, Asia OR North America)

That's in case the battery goes boom. The bend at the bottom is an absolute dealbreaker for me.
