But I'm anyway more interested in the Omni and the Kaiser, especially if they will be smaller/thinner than their predecessors (Universal and Hermes) It’s definatelly $1000 too much for my taste.

Thats just insane!! How can it possibly cost that much. I honestly can't see it taking off at that price. Unbelievable specs, coupled with an unbelievable price :( What I don't understand is how it can be that expensive. I mean take the HTC Universal, update the GSM/3G radio, drop the keyboard for an external one, throw in one of the latest (and tiny) GPS chips, and add a big SD card and you ALMOST have the Athena. Yes it is all rolled into a nice package and has a bigger screen, but still!!! US$1700!!! Thats just insane!! How can it possibly cost that much. I honestly can’t see it taking off at that price.
