Also, a lot of the video codec support will be lost.....

You win some, you lose some. Oh well, at least got VPlayer to live with first.

Seems 720p video recording is missing as well? At least in untouched firmware

Listed as 720 x 480 video resolution

Well done. And here I was contemplating the Desire Z. Slightly disappointed the Orion dual core CPU rumour didn't come true.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

no offence but the design makes me think of a shaver.

What's special is that this is the 2nd phone that owners will not have to depend on manufacturers to push out new firmwares.

Yeah...I guess so. There's only so much software decoders can do.

For me it will be a big loss, and personally imho the design is way too much like SGS.

I think they're really slowing down with the updates....Froyo was a huge update compared to this, in terms of stuff that you couldn't add with market updates.

But it's a double edged sword lah...they can't change too much stuff less they alienate 99% percent of the 2.2 and below users out there.
