Took me a minute to correlate that with the US release, but I knew it looked familiar. It was released as the HTC Status here. Reminds me a lot of a Blackberry, with the unfortunate addition of a Facebook button.
By brother has a BlackBerry and it's head and shoulders above that. The Facebook button is just a gimmick really and I don't use it at all, I've pressed it once and that was by accident.
I used to have a Blackberry. They just couldn't keep up. Todays tech market moves quickly and Blackberry is still hanging onto an OS that is way outdated. I've got a Motorola Photon now and Android is wonderful.
