this is too iPhone-like IMHO; nice hardware, meh-software. No Copy&Paste? No customization? No thank you...

I can hear it now, "your new iPhone will magically bounce back into your hand if you drop it; truly revolutionary!" =/

@Aipaloovik: I have Froyo on my Evo already

Verizon = yes

@tande04: I know, right? Sounds like someone has never even experienced Android...

Wow, fully customizable, more functional, and file-searching goodness? Sounds very similar to... um yeah... Android... out of the box...

300,000 is down from what?

What's the patent application for? If it's to patent a built-in app that gives you suggestions where to go, then yes, it's a bit shady. But if it's just a drawing of an example of some functionality, then no...

@xXZEBRAXx: Go ahead and stick with your walls of icons. Android allows me to get tons of info and change settings at a glance with widgets.

@RT100: have you seen the Evo, Droid, Droid X, Galaxy S, ever? they all don't have a trackpad/ball/optical thing + touchscreen

That would be a crazy spectacle in the sky...

@HardwareWars: but just because they're headed in the "right direction" doesn't mean RIM's got what it takes to retain the lead. Android and iOS are both sprinting and nipping at Rim's heals. And this Torch seems to be a last-ditch effort that is already being dubbed a failure...

@mricyfire: Nope, you're not the only one... I couldn't stand the little trackballs, tiny screens, and crappy interface...

@JabbaB: Gingerbread will be Android 3.0, and the minimum hardware specs rumored will be 1GHz with 1.5GHz being the recommended (with multiple cores).

It's like trying to get a loop into a ride at Disneyland - It ain't gonna happen...
