If you’re not already stockpiling weapons and rations and planning to send bots back in time to save John Connor, then you’re probably more interested in the QVGA screen, 3.2 megapixel camera and 3G connectivity.
Unless you hail from the land that brought us Godzilla, i.e. Japan, then there may be a wait for a release date. But then again, they may be closer than you think.
