At the retail price of RM2899, it’s way cheaper compared to Touch HD, which the retail price was RM3299 when it was launched. Will you buy it? As for me, I’m kinda getting bored and tired using Winmo phones. Time to change? 
Hmm… No stock everywhere. I am still waiting for mine to arrive.
haha.. good luck waiting for it then.. I don’t think I’ll get it soon, since I already have Touch HD.
