Wow. Just... wow. The HTC surround actually has a slide-out speaker (from Yamaha!)? I can't think of anything I want less in a cell phone. Maybe they should come out with an HTC ButteredPopcorn with a slide-out popcorn popper so I have something to snack on while reading all the (apparently deserved) MS-bashing around these phones.

Windows Mobile 6 in general and the Mogul in specific was quite possibly the worst OS/phone ever created. I ran mine over with my car in the parking lot of the Sprint store after replacing it after well under a year of ownership with an Android phone that I paid full retail for.
