Will we be able to use other keyboards from the market? Will Sense be getting official Android updates like Doughnut and others?

Also… What does the “light sensor” do?

Here is another good vid review: http://www.cnet.com/8301-19736_1-10355449-251.html

How do the touch buttons work, do they depress any, do they click, are they strictly touch sensitive? How well do the “touch” buttons work? Are they accidentally activated by brief/inadvertent touches? Does cell-ID location work on this phone (previous Sprint phones have not allowed Cell-ID locating)?

I’d like to learn how the phone works when it’s really loaded up with many widgets. Push it hard and see what it can take before slowing down.

Give Sprint Navigation a good review and compare it to navi apps on the market. Does it stand up to the other choices? Is it worthy of being the only Navi app that we will need?

How is the speaker-phone quality, especially when using Sprint Navigation? Is it loud?

How is the audio quality via the 3.5mm jack? How is the GPS receiver’s sensitivity under trees (jogging trail) and in the urban jungle?

Those are my main questions that weren’t answered in any of the other reviews.

While during your review I would like to see you cover a couple of questions:

I want to know what those little flush hardware buttons are like. Are they like “heat sensitive” so they change when you barely touch them (cuz that would cause for a lot of miss presses)? Or do you have to push on them really hard? or what? Also, a more in depth look at battery life would be nice. As well as a look at Sprints Network Coverage.

This phone looks awesome. I’m switching from Verizon to Sprint’s Anymobile/Anytime plan with the HTC Hero next month
