Should be released before xmas technically, however if it is it will be VERY
close to xmas.

The "interface" as such is a mix between a little rotating thingit (similar
to... um... a volume control knob) and voice controls.

Have a (broken)one in front of me--had it in jacket pocket and sat on it.
In the time it worked it was a pain in the butt---why can we not have a
phone that is a phone not a multimedia center?--it does nothing well,it is
inconvenient to use,not user friendly--damn glad it was a trialer
Wait till you see the "life enhancing" options that are on the way with G3.
A phone is a phone,not a camera,not a laptop (PDA's are another gadget)

Hence the 3660 was released soon afterwards. So was the 6610 after the 7210,
then the 6670 after the 7610.

See a pattern anyone? I wonder when the "sensible successor" for the 7280
will arrive?
