What is the max SDcard it can take? I know it ships with the 8GB, but how big can it go? Is there a max?

1. BES work on the US version?

2. True that Suretype is only option in portrait? (ugg)

3. What apps are available that take advantage of this touch screen

Please don’t use 11 paragraphs like Mossberg did to remind us that the BlackBerry has a touch screen. Duh.

Will it sych with a Mac. Will it work with iTunes sych for all media that is not DRM’d? It isn’t an iPhone killer for Mac owners until it fully integrates with with music, movies, and podcasts.

If you were to take out the Vodaphone sim card and put it in an unlocked GSM phone, that supported U.S. frequencies, would the Unlocked phone work with your Verizon number and just roam on AT&T’s and T-Mobile’s networks?

Are keyboard shortcuts completely gone with the physical keyboard?

For example, in a web page, I can press (T)op and (B)ottom to navigate quickly, (C)ompose in mail, etc. Is there way to do that now?

The whole screen is one big button so it will push in and you physically feel the click. SUPPOSEDLY it will feel localized.

My guess is that it will support the same video formats that current Blackberries support. Here are the current supports formats, according to blackberry.com:

* MPEG-4 Part 2 – Simple Profile + bvops (including DivX? files in this format)
* MPEG-4 Part 2 – Advanced Simple Profile
* H.263 Profile 0 and Profile 3 (Supported file formats are .avi, .3gp, .mp4, .mov, Video – up to QCIF (176×144))
* WMV 9 Simple Profile Video Decoder

The following video file extensions are also supported:

* .avi containing MPEG4 Part 2, H.263, H.264
* .mov containing MPEG4 Part 2, H.263, H.264
* .3gp containing MPEG4 Part 2, H.263, H.264
* .mp4 containing MPEG4 Part 2, H.263, H.264
* .m4v containing MPEG4 Part 2, H.263, H.264
* .mpg containing MPEG4 Part 2, H.263, H.264

So, it looks like I was wrong on divx. But, Flash is a big no.

sms, txt, and email, right?
visual voicemail?
gps w/ turn by turn directions (or is that the whole V navigator service you have to pay a monthly fee for)
how about tethering?

No Flash, for sure.

I doubt it will do divx, too.
