Are you on crack? What are you smoking my friend?

How is Intel working there ass off to get a new product out the door even vaguely illegal? Is it illegal because it will suck to be AMD when they are left in the dust with there "new" 65nm chips?

That has got to be the funniest thing I have read all day.

Well as a bit of a follow up, I ended up buying the phone and I love it. My only 2 knocks on the phone: it attracts smudges (no surprise there), and the speakerphone is a little bit on the quiet side, but neither of these are deal breakers. Overall I am very happy with the phone, and I have already gotten several "Wow, what phone is that?" questions from people... :)

Same here, I have until December 12th :( The wait is killing me, my old phone is on it's way out too...

Why would they want to take a huge leap backwards by using AMD processors? They finally saw the light and moved away from the PPC, and now they are thinking of moving to those god awful AMD procs? What the hell is wrong with Apple?

I am pretty sure it's not the same thing as the Chocolate slider ...it's similar, but (don't quote me) I think it's slightly modified.

I just got some hands-on time with the X8600 and I must say I am very impressed, in fact I am sold. I am buying one of these in a month when my contract comes around.

It feels very solid in your hand, much like the Krzr does. When I say solid I mean that it feels sturdy like it won't break (like the V3M). The UI is very nice and responsive, and the music features looks great.

The only bad things? The exterior display is going to be a smudge-whore. I played with the phone for maybe 15 minutes, including using the exterior music buttons, and the exterior front was all smudged up when I left. Oh well, virtually every phone these days had that issue.

So, December 12th I will be buying one these, and I can't wait!
