Well, I can't say much about the monitor since I don't own a Laptop and never want to get one, but that girl looking in from the side...she is really pretty wouldn't you say?
I've been wathcing the whole Touch Diamond and Touch Pro development for along time now and the Touch Pro is still my permier candidate for my next phone, however, I'm still puzzled what happened to eGPS...this was actually one of the main reasons why I preferred the (unreleased) Touch Pro to the (equally not available) SE Xperia X1.

Even on release day of the Diamond there was still a lot of talk about eGPS, then suddenly all went quiet and I haven't heard anything but "aGPS". This seriously bugs me since the features of eGPS were very very interesting...especially since my current GPS smartphone has big problems finding and holding onto a GPS signal even in moderately open areas...

Does anyone know what happened to eGPS? Or was it just a wil guess somebody came up with or a typo or something???
Cool device.

Just two things:

1) What happened to eGPS, one of the cooles features that were rumoured before launch

2) When will I be able to buy one of these in Germany without Contract or branding?

Well, what happened to eGPS then? And why don#t they launch the Raphael at the same time, this is not really all that interesting since it does not have a full keyboard...
Well, I for one welcome the Android Phones. I'd buy one like the mockup in the gallery any day.
It's a clean design and if they get their apps working smoothly then there is little to be said against it.
Maps is a nice addition, especially in GPS enabled phones. The only thing I'd really want to see in any new phone is a full qwertz keyboard. I have it on my Fujitsu-Siemens T830 and it makes the phone so much more useable.
thouchscreens are fine, but nothing beats a proper keyboard, even if it is tiny. Having both (like in the T830) is just perfect. Unfortunately the T830 is discontinued and FS never fixed any of the bugs...that is really sad since it was/is the best phone I ever owned...but sadly is still in a ind of beta-status and will never leave it now that FS is not selling it anymore.

I hope Android Powered Phones with full feature sets will be out in europe soon...there are too many fashion phones with severely limited features out there now, it's time for a true smartphone again...preferably without Windows...
The most important point goes unanswered again:

What happens to the World outside the US???
@Jaymez

Please try to keep up...eink is all about NOT being like a computer screen...I thought everbody had grasped that by now!
According to the manual you can move content over USB...at least that is the way I understand it but perhaps I'll have to read it again..I just went over it briefly.
It can read unportected .mobi files in any case and that should mean easy conversion from .pfd
Another breakthrough Technology that would be soo cool if it ever made it to mainstream...but will it ever?
how about negative instead of negitive?
;)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
