from the picture with the backing taking off it seems the back cover goes over the camera lens...so if the cover is scratched to hell you'll just need to replace the back cover.

@andreab

Looks exactly the same in the pictures as my Dell mini 10...no change as I can see. FN key is where it is now and the special keys sharing the function keys space

@chispito You don't know what you're talking about. I'm on my Mini 10 now and the hinge as it is is behind the battery where the new model has the hinge now...they just swapped them around so they could fit the bigger battery in...no change has been made to the keyboard or the track pad.

@MedioGringo

Way to misread and make a giant leap! The article dispels the myth that the phone will be data only and route all calls via VOIP...she's stating it's a regular phone. Nowhere does it say that you won't be able to download a VIOP app and use whatever service you want...it's hardware. If your service provider allows VOIP over it's data network then why would the hardware manufacturer stop you doing it?

@TheMrE

Sorry man, not really trying to turn you on...got a lady dude. My sarcasm comes from the clear frustration that Endgadget, despite their access will continue to do what we all despise anyway.

@THJ

Well thank you for your riveting and insightful analyses of the situation. Much less douchy than explaining a view point in some sort of cogent manner.

Engadget is a website, The Zune is a device. Here's the main point though...YOU are an end user. To you you don't care who made what or why...if you pull data from the net you want to receive that data as intended. Fine, so MS shouldn't censor. Are we in agreement?

so to you whether it's Twitter themselves, the browser or the device itself you don't care where in the chain censorship happens...but Engadget seems to think you do. They keep the harmful bad words from you before it ever hits your browser...but if the browser did they would scream murder.

Censorship is censorship, in the end, you the user don't get the full picture...if it's wrong for MS to censor, it's wrong for Engadget to do the same...what's the part you don't get?

And yes I AM a douche...for example, your baby is ugly.

I know you're just a simple Apple troll, but I'll answer you anyway.

First, I'm on my second iPod Touch and second Shuffle. I use Apple products. Seemingly you have to get that out of the way before engaging Apple trolls as they only see black/white, Apple fans/Apple haters.

Next, I expect a "tech" website to review technology in it's own merits. Not on marketing numbers. Tell me is OSX crap because MS will sell more copies of Windows? The iPhone sold in crazy numbers on it's first day...well before anyone had it in hand to use as the de facto standard...no one had used it but sites like Engadget. That's marketing...it's not what I base my purchases on. I don't go for hype and buzz. The top selling phone when the iPhone came out was the Moto RAZR...should every review of the iPhone have mentioned it and features it had the iPhone didn't? Like cut 'n' paste, the ability to install even rudimentary Java apps, use as a modem...video recording? IF a side by side comparison box was drawn on silly bitty features the iPhone would have been hailed a failure. But no, it was reviewed on it's own merits as it should, but none other have had that privilege since.

So you're saying people are requesting tweets they KNOW contain profanity? Surely until the tweet is pulled down by the device you don't know what is there...you MAY be offended at the language used. You seem to understand this as you're trying to "keep the site clean" for those who may or may not be offended. You and seemingly Microsoft are sensitive to the fact some people might not want to see the word f***. But apparently Microsoft are d***s while you're not.

Sorry, it is exactly the same thing.

Engadget, hi...it's me again. I'd like to ask a question.

What is a feature?

You seem to feel "features" are things that should be there in every device. When I buy a "phone" I'd hope I'd be able to "phone" people with it. I'd be shocked if on the side of the box, listed as a "feature" was the ability to make phone calls. I'd be shocked if "text messaging" was in 2009 listed as a "feature"...I'd fall off my seat if "hearing what the person on the other end of the line, while they can hear you" as a "feature" of the device.

So with that in mind I wonder if you know the difference between a "feature" and a given devices "basic functionality". You seem to think certain "features" should now be "basic functionality" and vilify any device if they don't include your present "feature" of the month.

The iPhone is a great device...but to measure every other phone up against it in some sycophantic and slavish tribute to it in every post is just getting boring. You didn't bemoan the iPhones lack of 3G when it came out...you said it was revolutionary device. You didn't mind the lack of apps...it was a revolutionary device. You made nary a mention of the lack of cut 'n' paste, MMS, tethering, multi-tasking, proper blue-tooth functionality...etc...you just told us, straight faced...this is a revolutionary device. And it was, you were not lying. But since then you've become as ridiculous as you can be.

An iPhone is an iPhone because of a few unique features...that you seem to want on every device. When that finally happens...what will the iPhone be then?
