The voice control app - VoiceControl by Nuance, is nice. Really nice. 
But it also costs $72/year, so I fail to see the point in including the 
TRIAL version in ROM.

The Sprint IM...sucks. It's cute. I never could connect to either MSN 
(Windows Live Messenger) or AIM on it, and although I could connect to 
Yahoo, half the messages didn't get through to me. Oh...and it *still* 
doesn't work in the background.

Looked like Blazer to me.

This is only a step up for someone with a cell phone and no accessories. 
Who wants to replace a 4 or 8GB sd card with a 2GB MINI?! You've got to 
be kidding!
