Thumbs down Just don't see it...

Sorry, although I am usually an early adopter of these toys (ok, with the exception of the IPhone...) I just don't see any real reason to rush out and get this.

-Only works well with Google (who has been cited as one of the worst offenders in term of user privacy)
-UGLY HTC phone (after using the Shadow and the MDA, I am convinced that they do about 3 seconds of useability testing before releasing a product)
-non-standard headset jack (what were they thinking????)

The only upside I see is the open source platform, but that's not nearly enough to make up for the rest.

So I guess I'll stick with my blackberry and iPhone. At least for now !
