I've been waiting for the magic bullet phone, and this is looking like it could be it.
I've been (and still am) a long-time Palm user - most lately the 700p, then the 755p all with Verizon, and though the OS is clunky and old, it works well for what I like in a phone.
But this new one looks like it'll satisfy exactly what I'm looking for.
I've considered the iPhone, but I dismiss it because of its shady AppStore policies.
I've considered the Blackberry Storm, but its on-screen keyboard doesn't really allow enough space for a reasonable SSH session with vim.
I'd also like to at least try the G1 for a week, but T-Mobile's network is weak at best.
I tried a Samsung HTC phone with Windows Mobile with a slide-out horizontal keyboard early 2008 and found it practically unusable.
This phone looks like it's going to satisfy every major requirement I have, especially if it comes to Verizon. It's absolutely imperative that my phone be SSHable, and Vimmable, and doable out "in the sticks" when I'm on vacation.
And the slide-down keyboard looks amazing. You shouldn't have to use two hands to type on a phone's keyboard.
