That is one of my biggest grips about the Canadian cell phone industry. We're one of the very few countries in the world where 3 year contracts are the standard. yeah I always wonder the same thing.

Basic math 15$ extrA here after the exchange rate some how adds up to cell providers making us sign for 3 years instead of 2 bah... And now we have to sign a 3 yeaR data option on top of all this.. So 2 3 year contracts for one cell phone!... *sigh* end rant Back on topic very nice phone, gonna go play with it today let's see how it compares to my iPhone.

On the negative side you can't use a stylus... yet (queue HTC's patent pending on a stylus capable capacitive touch screen). With all these "finger" devices I am beginning to feel quiet primitive. Why did we invent utensils for? So we don't have to eat with out hands! Have you ever used your capacitive touch screen after eating chicken and poutine? Yuck! Anyway I feel much better using a stylus both from a hygienic and accuracy standpoint. You forgot to mention that that screen is a full capacitive touch screen (no hybrid stuff like BB).
