u can't install apps without them being from the market. so if u want to use the text replacement app "swype" u can't b/c it needs you to download and install from within the browser and not the market. And any apps that come up on bgol's android threads won't be installed b/c at&t has removed that function(copying the iphone model where they keep control of the device to prevent the user from install money-saving apps and rooting). It's a policy at&t has had for android from the beginning to keep users locked in, they claim its for user safety but everyone knows that's bs.
Damn, so this phone doesn't come with swype? That may be a deal killer for me. I have an Iphone now and I have always wanted swype because I am a horrible texter.
