#1, it is Quad-band GSM/GPRS.

New press release today just on the P51 that confirms some more specifications and states a July 2006 release:

I am impressed that I might actually be able to get the MDA at the same time as Cingular customers get the 8125!

#13, it does have a flat keypad and some other new peoples. HTC's products haven't always been stylish and since this is one of the eew (or maybe the first) flip phone, it could take HTC a little bit of time to get style down for the form factor. I still think it is pretty nice.

Could US broadcasters for once get on the bandwagon of new technology? Sorry for the rant but it would be nice to have DMB working and available in the US so this kind of product would work over here too. I think I might have to move to the UK so I can actually be an earlier adopter.

T-Mobile US or T-Mobile Elsewhere?

I am really surprised that it doesn't support HD over-the-air singles. Granted it is only an SD card but remember with this device you have to have additional power for the unit. Actually, more like massive power because you need a 1200 mAh battery just to run it for 2.5 hours! I guess the battery is also for the external soundcard...why video and audio can't both make it across the SD bus...

I was amazed to find that Expansys finally has the P50 in stock. Amazing, after like 8-10 months. They have 500+ available, but with WM 2003 SE and only a 64 MB ROM, I don't know that I am willing to drop $580. To think how excited I was when the device was announced...but I would still buy one, but it would have to be at half price.

#7 - It says on the image and in the text that it has integrated GPS. :-) I missed that in the text too the first time.
