Notable features include an E Ink display and dual antennae to improve reception. The phone is slated to become available before the end of the year."

Why so little features? I'd want something more advanced.

No wireless. No USB. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

Yes, but now how will I update my MySpace page with videos of me finding fish and stunning them while listening to my favorite trendy band?!
