Nothing against people in other countries but i am so sick and tired of the USA being the very last people to get the phones. Thats if we ever get most of the phones that even exist. Anyways Motorola is using virtually the same design over and over ...

Looks interesting
My contract is up with cingular and I have been trying to decided between going with Verizon and the E815, or upgradiung my plan and going with the sony ericsson s710a.
I really like the design of the E815 and want a flip phone but I hate that verizon was the only carrier of the handset and that they cripple thier blue tooth devices. Most of my family is with cingular so I loose mobile to mobile with this option.
I like the certain features about the S710 but I do not like the bulky design. It is uncomfortable to carry in your pocket and the holster makes me worried the phone won't stay in place. Also their is no screen protection as the phone is not a flip phone. It does have a better camera than the E815/V710 line of phones and...

more information coming
hello scoopers, i'm here at javaone waiting to get some quality with the e895, however i have already been able to give it a quick run-thru. here's what i can tell you already:
1. the screen is amazing. it's incredibly sharp and bright. it's not much bigger than a razr screen but it's qvga.
2. the phone is much thinner than you'd expect. not razr thin, but it seems thinner than a v600 / v55x model.
3. it's handsome. moto finally are producing phones you'd be proud to carry.
4. the os is MAJORLY revamped. it's not just the same old moto magic os running on linux, ot a new verison of the old linux OS. motorola has honestly taken alot of steps to improved usability and clarity over what you see on current v-series phones.
we'll have det...
