To clear up a few above comments, it looks like it has a 3.5mm jack after all…

The chin makes that thing impossible to look at. Disgusting! Why cant HTC just get it right already ?

Thats why they make bluetooth headphones, so you dont have cord hanging all over the place. Get with the times (thats what wireless is for).

I’ve also noticed that on my G1 the chin protects the screen when it’s face down in addition to preventing the trackball from being pressed. It’s nice to be able to leave it face down without fear that your screen is being scratched up by some crap that might be on the table. In fact I’ve dropped my phone several times and while the edges get scratched up, there’s no way for the screen to even hit the ground (as long as you’re on a relatively flat surface; of course a jagged rock or something could it it). Also I think the G1 fits beautifully into my pocket. If anything I think the chin contours to the shape of my leg better than a straight phone would. I mean c’mon, I don’t have a board-straight leg.

Guys, I believe the ‘chin’ was initially designed to cover/protect the trackball and it works that way on G1.
If there is no trackball, then it doesn’t seem to have a point, or does it?

I like the chin on my G1. This chin however looks a bit more prominent. And the lack of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack is just plain silly. Other than that I say bring it on. The more Android devices the better.

the chin was there to prevent trackball from getting pressed when face down (or in pocket maybe)

but this has no trackball or D-pad. why it still has a chin

i wouldn’t buy one

I can whine all I want that is what the internet is for right? Looks like its 7 to 2 against the chin. however that is not nearly as bad as the lack of 3mm headphone jack.

Why do so many people hate the chin?
I think they look cute. ^^
I love all the colors, especially red.
