Can't say I have heard about this one. But will be looking in the near future for a new phone. But having said that, its hard to look over the iphone just for the shear number of accessories and availability of those accessories for the iphone. An example of this where I got caught out was when the ipod first went to like 30gb I went for a toshiba gigabeat which was about the same price at the time. I had to order a silcone skin for it from the UK

Its big downfall is it still runs symbian.
Look at the N900, that has Maemo, a much faster OS

I thought you meant a sim card that works with multiple companies/numbers! LOL!

I know in Europe at least you can get a dual sim card.

Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 is roughly same dimensions as an Apple iPhone running Android 1.6 soon to be updatable to 2.1/2 in the coming months. However, not being an Apple product is more compatible with wide range of devices and applications.

4" version similiar to that and the iphone just better in almost everyway, and you dont have to own an apple product thank christ
