looks very cheap and simple. But i guess its a good phone for people switching from feature phones.

Google should make all phones released from now on have to be at least 2.3 and 1ghz processor

Agreed, although you gotta worry about people not being happy with it after a few months when they understand how much more a Smartphone can do. This is exactly the type of device you think a one year contract would be perfect for. Then AT&T can upsale you to a more expensive, fully featured smartphone and have them for life. Guess a two year contract on a lower end device is more profitable for them.

They should have released Vega Racer in the US market.
The 1.5 GHZ dual core processor phone.

THIS is why AT&T is by far the worst carrier. While the other three big players (including the one they are trying to assimilate) all have seriously rugged Android phones AND fairly high-end qwerty Androids, they release this piece of garbage: like putting lipstick and a wig on a Flipside. I am loyal to Big Blue for work reasons, and bought a Backflip the week it came out, because I like Android and I like a real keyboard. I figured once they lost iPhone exclusivity, they would give us something like a Droid or Desire Z or SOMETHING. Granted, I want Gingerbread AND LTE, and figure something better is coming this summer, but by then I may have to hold out for Android 3.4, or at least a handset that will be able to handle it... SOOOO sick of waiting for a decent qwerty phone from these jerks...

Surely you're not referring to T-Mobile, and I hope you're not believing that the Motorola Defy is rugged?

Well, the Defy seems about as durable as this phone, and was released in November. AT&T has had a lot of time to prepare for losing iPhone exclusivity, and the recent releases are weak: I kind of like the Inspire, but the network speed is a deal-breaker, the Atrix is an overpriced failure, and the Infuse got me kind of excited, because it has a fast radio and actually allows apps from outside the App Market, but compared to the other three carriers, even those specs are behind. Just give me LTE with HSPA+ as a backup, a keyboard, and Gingerbread, and I'll buy it. The carriers make all their profits on data and voice plans, so they all want to shove low- and mid-range smart phones in our faces to make even more money, but at least the other 3 give an option of a decent phone with a keyboard.

I just got the chance to play with this in person and it seems much easier to work than other android phones and feels very comfortable.
