- Stereo Bluetooth
- microSD slot (up to 32 GB)
- Instant messaging and threaded text messaging

- Pre-installed SIM
This handset has me a little excited!
Nice form factor and a touch screen!
Sprint needs a good international solution that is not a Blackberry. this could be good!!!
They have HTC options too, will this be sold at Best Buy too?
I don’t like the preinstalled sim option. I would like to pop in my own sim card when I travel. Maybe there is a way to remove it. This phone looks promising. I hope sprint gets the imagio version of htc since I think that phone is a world phone. The imagio for verizon looks pretty good.
@don Louie –
The press release said it will be sold at ALL retail channels, so it should be availible at Best Buy.
We will try and confirm that today for you.
