My biggest complaint about this device is the lack of an upgrade of the CPU from what the G1 has. In point of fact the two phones have the exact same CPU. The catch is there are a few apps that beat the living crap out of the system when running in the background. Things like Pandora and Waze running at the same time beats the crap out of the system in general. OCing a G1 bringing it up to its rated 528 MHz makes the system usable. But it would be nice to see something with a bit more horsepower under the hood. Even if its scaled to something like 300Mhz those of us who hack our system can at least access this speed. Other then that this is a nice phone (Crap colors, but I'm assuming there will be something other then blue....sorry I meant BLUE! as an option.) I would have like to see a 3.5" screen but that is neither here nor there since it comes with a keyboard. 3.5" though makes web browsing a bit more tolerable on a phone. Yes I can scroll around which is pretty slick on Androids browser. However 3.5" makes you scroll less. *shrugs* I would love to see Leo with a keyboard. That IMHO is where I would drop half a grand on a phone if needed. This thing? Nope.
