Sounds like the emperors new phone to me. No HSDPA, poor quality camera, 
and that screen will look great covered in greasy fingerprints. On the 
other hand, it can play DRM crippled music.

Not sure how they'll sell it over here in the UK. A £25/month contract 
will usually score you a free handset of the order of a SE W950 or Nokia 
N73. Not entirely convinced that there is a market (over here at least) 
the will pay an extra ~£400 for what is for most people a commodity item 
- ie a camera phone that plays music.

Cheers,
