I’m sure that makes one-hand texting nice but does anyone know if it’s too narrow for two-thumb testing? Can it be held horizontal for those lengthy (pushing 160 character) texts? Any insight?

No expandable battery, or memory expansion. And is battery life going to be a joke? I DON'T BLOODY CARE B/C I WANT THIS PHONE! Of course, where I live if I want AT&T coverage, I have to drive 5 miles north or west. Is it worth driving 10 minutes to make a phone call on a 600 USD phone? Probably not. But who knows. So, yeah.

The most recent email is 5/23/07, a good sign that it was filmed a few weeks ago. Some google searches of the names of the email senders shows that Heidi Luko runs in marathons, Hank Zakroff, Alex Lebosq, and Anne Oburgh are all advertising people involved in the iPhone ad campaign, and Meghann Haven has a MySpace (you'll have to find it for yourself, but she's cute and has good taste in music). Most curiously though, the front page of the NY Times website pictured is from May 14th, as evidenced by <a href="http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60A17F839550C778DDDAC0894DF404482" rel="nofollow">this story</a> pictured in the ad.
