As an owner of a 700p I have to say having a vertical keyboard is the best way to go. With a vertical keyboard one can type one handed (which is why I shied away from htc QWERTY phones). Also from the degree of the angle in the hinge, I don't think it will be too flimsy to hold one handed because all the weight will be transferred back to your palm (pun not intended).

Hardware out of the way, WebOS is a really great way for palm to think 'outside of the box'. Before anyone shoots me down for that statement I just want to say it is an innovative approach to a problem. How do you rapidly build a developer community around a new platform that faces staunch competition from the iPhone/WinMobile/Android/Blackberry communities? Most developers worth their salt know basic html; ergo, you use W3C standards to reach out to as many as quickly as possible.

I think this is the phone I've been waiting for the replace my nearly 3 year old 700p. I was scared there for a second that I'd have to jump ship like some of the weaker treonauts.

NEXT!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
