Anyone know if it's a capacitive or resistive touch screen? I'm sure it's probably resistive, but one can dream...

Personally, I give Fox props for at least TRYING to fill our 16:9 screen unaltered video. That is, even if it's not in HD, it at least doesn't stretch or have black bars. It may not be 720 resolution, but I'm satisfied enough.

Don't you people ever read your blog posts BEFORE posting?! "...pick IT UP..." not "pick up it..." Sheesh...

I agree I would have liked to see a better resolution screen. However, this phone appears to be everything else I would want out of a phone, including being thin, and since there's no sign of the Touch Diamond anywhere, and I've been holding out for a new phone since March, I may just jump once I can test this out in-store!

I can confirm a price when I log in a price of $289.99. However, it's not explicitly clear if that includes my NE2, nor does it mention the rebate.

The bigger question to me is where is the Touch Diamond? I remember hearing that was going to come out for Verizon first. With the lack of rumors or anything on HTC's website, I'm starting to think all they will get is the Touch Pro. If that's the case, I'm highly disappointed.

I certainly already have the ability to play DVDs. If that were the issue, I certainly wouldn't buy a blu-ray player. The whole point of blu-ray is HD. So, if the selection of HD is small compared to DVDs, I'm going to wait.

Oh no, I got the number wrong! The point is, compared to DVD, the selection sucks!

See, this is what gets me about blu-ray. Everyone talks about players reaching a PRICE threshold. I think you are always forgetting to mention the QUANTITY threshold. I wouldn't care about buying a blu-ray player at $50 or $250. What matters to me is the fact that there are only 500+ titles out there!

Let's get real. Assuming you had access to rent all 500+ titles (Netflix, etc) there are always invariably going to be titles/generes you don't want to see. So I mean, why would I go to buy a player when the selection sucks? I find tons of movies on HD television, and the only premium one I get is HBO. And even then, most of the blu-ray coming out are movies that were recently out, so I've seen them anyway.

I say, once you start lookingat blu-ray with 5,000+ titles, including TV shows and older movies (80s and before) that I wouldn't mind revisiting for the HD quality, then let me know (and I'm sure players will be even cheaper then, lol).
