The new version is f’ing UGLY in my opinion. Ugly enough for me consider passing on it. So pathetic!!! It’s flat out disgusting. Freakin brushed metal? really? sigh.

anyone happen to find a source with the processor and radio specs? I can only find this for the Euro version. I’m curious if they upgraded the processor/if I’ll get 3G when roaming on different networks.

I don’t mind that it doesn’t have a chin, although I hate the look of the “brushed steel” finish on the bottome of the phone

It is definitely no-chin. All one color it appears as well. Kind of lame, I wanted a white one with the chin, but oh well, I’ll get it anyway.

According to HTC’s website it looks a lot like the MyTouch 3G which is fine with me. I prefer that style than the European Hero’s boxy Texas Instruments calculator looking appearance.
