    Besides the keyboard I would shell out the extra cash and spring for the Droid. This also reminds me of the sidekick.

    I second that; the added cost over a 2 year becomes negligible and the Droid is a little more 'future proof' over the devour.... Unless you really want motoblur...

    I'm not a huge fan of manufacture's UIs, didn't like touch wiz, don't like motoblur, and definitely don't like SenseUI (i don't know what the huge hype is...that clock widget takes up way to much screen real estate)

    It certainly does look a lot like the Sidekick, however, I like the looks of it, and I think it will be a good seller for Verizon.
