Why does this guy keep mentioning the Nokia slideshow that IS NOT THE 5800? Is this guy blind or what?

The device shown in the slides is probably nothing. This blew totally out of proportion cos of some stupid guy calling it a leaked device. Also, whoever said "it's definitely S60", how would you know? It doesn't look a thing like the current S60.

I agree with your resistive screen bashing. Nokia need to wisen up... they're a bunch of dumbfucks when it comes to high-end devices. That OPK guy sucks.

I really excited about the Palm neuNeu-ness, I have been waiting to decide what my new smartphone will be, (android and asus phones were at the top of my list) now I'm gonna wait to see what Palm is gonna whip out.

Before my next statement, let me preface by saying you guys are gonna laugh (and if I wasnt me, I would too), but I really want try an awethumb. Ok I said it. You guys are talking about awethumbs crawling out of your sock-drawers and well, help a gimpy thumbed mofo out. I have hitchhikers thumbs and I really wanna see if it would be easier for me to use my mobile devices. (que laugh-track). No really, I'm serious. http://www.ncrtec.org/tl/camp/gene/thumbs.htm
