Along with Wifi, HSDPA, GPS (works fine with google maps but it's not a satnav replacement) it's the full spec.

I forgot to add, it's touch screen with a stylus as well as the full qwerty keyboard. Has touchFLO like the iPhone for the same/similar browsing experience. So I think it matches the iPhone in most areas but has an advantage with the keyboard, stylus and wifi. Also, iPhone doesn't do picture messaging!!! WTF is that about!!!

My HTC has two cameras, I recently used the screen side one to take a self portrait for a security card and emailed it to the security staff as I was standing at their desk. Job done.
