*Please hurry up T-Mobile USA, on behalf of all Phandroids hugry for Cupcakes.
There. Now you can keep the comments free of “I Want Cupcake” pleas. And last but not least, a bunch of quick bullet points as a reminder (like you haven’t already memorized it):
- Fast, smooth typing with the on-screen virtual keyboard
- Easy access to favorite apps, contacts, bookmarks, and more via home screen widgets and live folders
- Video recording, playback, and sharing
- Full web experience with enhanced browser
- Hands-free calls and listening with stereo bluetooth
- Lots of UI refinements and performance improvements to the overall phone experience
- New APIs and elements to enable even more innovative apps from developers
