Comments on: Is the Touchscreen BlackJack Coming to AT&T? i780? http://mobilitysite.com/2008/06/is-the-touchscreen-blackjack-coming-to-att-i780/ Mobility News, Reviews, and Views Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:57:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Offbeatmammal http://mobilitysite.com/2008/06/is-the-touchscreen-blackjack-coming-to-att-i780/#comment-6042 Offbeatmammal Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:30:01 +0000 http://mobilitysite.com/2008/06/is-the-touchscreen-blackjack-coming-to-att-i780/#comment-6042 I've been using the i780 (aka Mirage) for a while now (sadly an EU spec device so no 3G here in the US) and it's a really nice phone. It's got most of the good features of the BJ-II (but with the addition of WiFi) and a touch screen which works really well in this format. The D-Pad has been replaced by a weird touchpad which I don't find as usable but it's a personal thing I guess. Specs on the phone are good - it's powerful enough to feel responsive, yet the battery lasts long enough to be usable. I agree it's bad that it takes so long for devices to get to the US... gotta wonder what the delay is - carriers, FCC, lack of demand?

i’dlike to be offered newly released winmo devices, not american versions of devices released elsewhere a year ago.
