Also, HKC? And the design of the phone? This is clearly a knock off HTC Touch, another indicator that the quality of the phone is sure to suck.

I didn't even think about that!

Ty, now I'm not so despondent lol

If you're ever bored, Engadget occasionally posts about cheap knock offs they find. It's usually pretty funny.

I like the ability to dual boot WM and Android (I like both operating systems).

But a resistive screen sucks.

I'd still buy this phone if it was compatible with 1700Mhz band, just for the dual boot though.
