What's everyone think about this?
Are we destined for the same fate as the Bionic and (possibly) Razr owners?
If this phone ends up being a Rezound with a slide-out keyboard, I'll want it pretty bad.

It'll probably be a little worse than the rezound. I don't think HTC is as dumb as Motorola. Plus, I hate the bulkiness of the added keyboard anyway lol. I've gotten so used to virtual keyboards, I'd feel weird going back.

No regrets here. I was sure I had to have a slider and came very close to getting the stratosphere instead of the Rezound. Now that I have and LOVE the Rezound WITH the joy of the extended battery, I feel like if I'm going to have a bulkier phone, I'd much rather have the bulk come from the battery than a keyboard. I'm now hooked on the amazing battery life and could never imagine a slider AND the extended battery.

Coming from Blackberry- The thing I miss the most is a keyboard for typing a real email message. The on-screen kb is ok for a short text message or the like, but if I want to type anything with substance, I miss the keyboard.

HTC has made plenty of phones with slide out keyboards. This is possibly the first to come to Verizon. I'm going to envision their version of the Droid 4. Possibly thinner and with a better keyboard because let's face it...moto still hasn't made a physical keyboard worth a damn in 4(almost) iterations of the Droid.

It would be twice as thick and weigh more...

A slider does make the most sense, w/ the SKU, but is there any chance it could be a 4g mango device?
