I, for one, like it. I'm very excited about the new optical trackpad!

Wow, nice. Wonder who is going to get it.

If you're talking about carriers, my guess is T-Mobile because of the "20" in the model number (or whatever it is called).

Yeah, I was. I figured you would get your hands on one, no matter the carrier.

Has a nice look and I am interested in how the track pad(?) touch pad(?) works.

WiFi, but no 3G....Very odd. I thought 3G was going to be the basic for future devices....Now that 4G is about to hit.

Could be TMO, but AT&T also has some XX20 devices, don't they?

The optical sensor is basically just like a trackball, minus the ball. Imagine using that optical sensor like you would a trackball.

And yes, AT&T has one XX20 device: The Curve 8320.

8820 and 8120 too?

Sav · 05-04-2009, 11:00 AM

Oh yes. Forgot they had those too. Since AT&T has so many 20's I wonder if this could go to them first instead.

This is going to sound crazy, and I admit it. But it just popped into my head. With this article I found yesterday on BGR, is it possible that Verizon has an outside shot of getting it? Could this possibly be their first Wi-Fi device? Let the joking about how stupid I am start.
