The only problem I have with the design is the bit that does not slide "up".
It looks like it might make it a bit harder to type with the righthand thumb, but I will reserve judgement untill I have held one
lol doesn't it sound like "ET Phone Home" and "google Phone Here"
we might even see ET before G1
anyhoo i think even if you get the phone here and WoRkInG there will be unforseen problems with the phone, you would have no support for it in SA
