Put an SD card slot on both of them.
"Why do we still use QWERTY (made for typewriters) when the Dvorak format is superior?"
I use qwerty because I have it available and I'm trained. I don't know why you use it, maybe you know. Clearly, qwerty is superior, since we use it.
Don't put these in your Mini Maglite LED. Led life goes WAY down with a little increase in voltage.
It looks normal in Opera 9 and Google Chrome.
It seems that not much is new here. Possibly that the back-light is turned off when sunlight is available, it's unclear from the article whether this is the case. I don't know whether existing devices using trans-reflective LCDs do this or not, but even if it stays on always, it's only ever needed at low power so should have a small effect really.

You'd be hard pressed to find a 1920x1200 monitor smaller than 24 inches, or cheaper than $400

Through they are becoming rarer, 16 ms response panels are great, with NO image retention. In the same class are monitors which use 6-bit panels and temporal dithering to achive 17 million colours, a QUALITY monitor that does this looks perfect (take note, a 17 inch Dell is not quality, they use crap dithering on top of crap signal processing).
You have a problem with voice? Take note that you may end up seated next to "some moron who is yapping away" to their friend in the next seat, having a phone has nothing to do with it.
Nobody is forcing you. If you have a problem, take it up with the offender. Doing nothing other than being grumpy then whinging later is not a solution. Talk to the person!
Having v1.50 firmware running is great, but it is NOT the original firmware, v1.00 is. It is more hackable, but not in a good way, because v1.00 lets you run whatever you like, and v1.50 lets you run whatever you like only if you hack it.
The article says "rumor has it that the phone'll run $199.99 CAD (about $199) on a three-year contract"

What would you expect the price to be for just the phone?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
