Hmmm... Maybe GPRS/EDGE might not be too bad after all!

    This is one sweet looking device. It is rumored to become available between November 13th and 18th from Cingular.

    Here's my favorite "position" - an angled side/front profile:

    I'm curious to know the physical dimensions, but if they are similar to the other HTC Wizard cousins, it will be sweet indeed! However, if the dimenshins are similar to the Apache (i.e., Sprint PPC-6700), I may have to pass despite the compelling eye candy.

    Apart from the above, the only remaining question is whether I am brave enough to sign on for two years of Cingular service.
