That sounds about right. In some ways it reminds me of the Blackberry Storm. With a 1 ghz processor, I can’t imagine it’s incredibly fast. I still don’t understand why you have to get service thru a telecommunications provider. The only thing I can think is that it’s like Verizon trying to sell a netbook with an aircard for cheaper than you can get it at Wal-Mart/Best Buy, etc. Also, I assume you can purchase it without signing a contract with AT&T.
I'll have to wait and see. But from the brief demo video, it doesn't look all that sluggish.
No contract required. On-demand activation & cancellation, $30/mo unlimited* (or $15/250MB/mo) data. THAT is a big seller; I’ll shell out the extra $130 so I know I can get on-the-run data when it’s worth thirty bucks to do so.
(* - whatever cap “unlimited” means, like the Verizon rep I talked to Sunday who insisted “unlimited means unlimited ... you’re not really going to download more than 5GB, right?”)
Engadget says it is really fast. Of course when you don’t multi-task that is easier. They have to get off that train with this device if not for the iPhone too.
