Another play on peoples timelines...the article says coming in weeks, then says at the bottom that it is coming in the next couple of months. Then you read more on this and it looks like people are saying they are going to try to get this out before Christmas but could be 2006.

Then it looks like the phone that is coming out is EDGE, but I guess there is more than one. The one with EDGE said it had Bluetooth 2.0...really? This would not only be the FIRST phone ever to have 2.0, which means it could transmit the bluetooth without issues so long as your computer had 2.0. BUT, I am wondering if they mean driver 2.0... a lot of bluetooth devices say 2.0 but they mean the driver is the the second version, but it isn't the 2nd generation. There is a difference and only if you know a lot about bluetooth then you just think you are getting the second version.

Also, does this thing have wifi?
