Though I do agree GM needs to improve their US customer service if they want to compete with the other android phones.

BTW...saw the COSMOS for pre-order on http://bensbazaar.com also...$299. By undercutting other unlocked adroid phones GM may have a shot to grab market share.]]>Feb 24th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/

I'm sure its capacitive if they said it its.

Oh yea stylus, I wouldn't mind a "HD2" with a resistive screen... I like trying to kill the screen with my nails]]>Feb 17th 2010 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/I believe GM is the best of that type.

Speaking of KIRF what do you say to this

Chris isn't actually calling it a kirf, he said GM has always walked a fine line. If this thing would come to the US I would walk that line with them. The Cosmos looks great too, but it vaguely looks like a Storm, so....
Anyway the chances of seeing this in the US are pretty low, I bet.]]>Feb 18th 2010 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/
After many attempts to find out about the Cosmos with GM site I finally got a email back. They said it will be available in the US the beginning of April on http://bensbazaar.com and http://jandr.com

good luck. ]]>Feb 25th 2010 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture makes it slightly clearer, but still.

ARM11 uses the ARMv6 architecture. Cortex A8 (or Scorpion [Snapdragon]) uses the ARMv7 architecture. ARM9 uses the ARMv5 architecture. ]]>Feb 17th 2010 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/

.
The Supersonic is the ultimate KIRF of the HD2, which is the phone I'm waiting for.

(Is it still a KIRF if it's made by the same company?)]]>Feb 18th 2010 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/If they are dumping all those bad implementations of WinMo 6 to use Android, I might just buy one.]]>Feb 17th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/$500+ - why?]]>Feb 17th 2010 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 17th 2010 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/Feb 18th 2010 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/general-mobiles-touch-stone-how-can-something-so-wrong-be-so-r/
