At least we finally know that it vibrates.

...and that it can't be used for instant messaging :cool: It also says that it does not support sending pictures or videos...is that true? You can't text a pic to someone???

Other than that...very good information.

So, from looking at the email page, only Yahoo mail is pushed down automatically? POP3/IMAP requires you to go out and get your mail manually?

Doesn't do mms but you should be able to email pics and videos to the persons phone usually a phonenum@carriersdomain.com/net etc. Like I use verizont to send to a phone you email phonenum@vzw3g.com.

This is so cool! I can't wait to get my fingers on it. I have some errands to run tomorrow, so I will swing by my local Cingular store and see what they have to say. And maybe I'll make an offer for the iPhone banner for when they don't want/need it anymore.

Edit: I do have a question. Does it say how incoming calls are handeled? I know when Steve pressed the sleep/wake button that made it wake up and sleep. But what happens when you get a call and it is asleep? And what is the power/lock thing?

I don't believe it is on any of the pages that were posted, but I read at the end of the book it said there may be more features added at the release and AT&T employees will be notified of them. :)
