    It's seems like a sub $120 phone, if the App Store is any good by December, I'll get one for work, and my little girl can play with it. Like I'm doing with my $100 Galaxy y ATM

Like I'm doing with my $100 Galaxy y ATMI'm sure the app market will grow very quickly, being open source and all i'm pretty sure the selection process to get to the store will be simpler and faster.

    Since I live and work in 3d world countries, I would consider buying one if the price is right (people rob us for phones fairly frequently). I already keep a 45 dollar "dumb phone" on me to use around town. I could handle laying out a 100 or so for a phone like this one. If it gets stolen, I'll get over it.
