looks mightily like a Blackberry to me, which is fine but not sure how well the touch screen will be utilised and the screen is a tad small for surfing the next.

There's been a lot of chatter about this phone lately, mainly does it even exist?

The handset is a little over a month away from being shipped to customers yet all we've seen to date are renders and photoshops.
