1. Hello? You should be "iCEO"! God. 2. Apple needs to dump AT&T before anyone will like the iPhone again. Also, the UI (and even the same-old hardware from 3G to 3Gs. We want colour!) gets boring. Everything just seems like it has been the same with iPhone for like 2 years now. 3. webOS and Android are amazing. The handsets just need to improve. (The Pre and the Hero (verizon) look the best IMHO.) 4. Yes, I know that you're he's not really Steve Jobs, people.
@TheRogueFFAngel I love the wrist strap and the colour scheme! The brown and red they chose go well together, if a bit dull... but it looks classy.
But isn't the red only a wallpaper? You could change it to brown+anycolouryouwant, right? (I'm sure you could buy another wriststrap to match the wallpaper you use... or just, uh, REMOVE THE WRISTSTRAP if you DON'T LIKE IT. Maybe. Just a thought.)
I agree on the keyboard though. Looks cheap+plastic-y.
I think it's the cheap plastic white color that they chose for the interior of the phone that's disgusting.
On top of that I see no reason to make this phone look like a huge inflated keychain accessory...
You're right about the red of course. But in this picture it looks fugly when next to that white.
Lastly I hate the keyboard on the Droid (as well as th slow browser). So if this phone is similar in regard it will just be another wannabe iPhone killer.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

The sad part is that if this is true Google managed to make the 2nd version of what's supposedly a flagship device even more uglier than the first...
@Steve Jobs CEO
To be more clear I hate the wrist strap, that god awful color combination, and the stupid d-pad within the keyboard.
And if the keyboard is as horrible as the droid then the device fails big time.
