They were knocking the iPhone's virtual keyboard and yet with those physical keyboard's keys so close together it will be a pain in the ass to type anything more than a few words. Its cute. The iPhone does some things better and this does some things better, is it going to blow the iPhone away? No. Will it deter some potential iPhone customers and maybe give Apple a kick in the ass to stop thinking they can get away with whatever they want and start giving the iPhone some essential features its missing? I sure as hell hope so. Competition fuels innovation and the iPhone is one of the most innovative devices i've ever used, this can only be good for Apple....if they play their cards right
 
The interface looks really nice. I'm glad to see that other companies are finally starting to catch up to Apple. Competition is good.
 
watching the video?

Unobstrusive notifications.
You can compose more than one message in many windows and lots of stuff.
The UI methaphor, gesture bar.
Wireless recharging.

man that notification down the app is so amazing.
 
It does look quite nice. I would have figured that Apple would have copyrighted the use of the world "dashboard", but who knows.

The interface does look very fluid, it's missing some usability, but since it's still in its infancy, it'll probably catch up pretty quickly

Congrats Palm. Apple......it's back to you now.
 
Who cares?

A phone's a phone.
"Oh my phone can run multiple applications at the same time..."
"Oh MY phone syncs with iTunes!"

A phone's a phone.

And besides, (it may just be me skipping, but...) did they not preview the phone app???
 
IDK, the interface of this phone seems a bit too busy for my tastes.
