Hmmmm, has to be bought on their particular plan, a la iphone, no corporate email (exchange?), no video recording, sounding much less interesting by the second.

Big question for me is whether it can sync directly with Outlook? I don't want to have to goosync my calendar to Google before it updating on my phone.

The specs does sound disappointing, but then it's just a leak/rumored.

Not long to the PR... 1 hour and 30 mins to go!
