This will begin TODAY (23rd Sept 2008) at 10:30am EST, which translates to 3:30pm BST.

You can watch it at http://announcement.t-mobileg1.com

I will be watching it and hopefully posting here to discuss about it. biggrin.gif

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!
