@Nicholas: Try setting your voicemail number in call settings. My phone doesn’t lock when I call voicemail.

I’ve had my phone for a couple of days now, and I have to disagree about the chin. I thought it would be a problem, but the phone is slim enough that it fits nicely in my pocket. I find it way more comfortable in my pocket than my old N95 for example.
There are two things I find annoying about this phone. The position of the back button is not ideal for a right handed person, as you have to bend your thumb into an awkward position to press it. And given that you use it all the time, it becomes a bit tiresome. The other thing that irritates me is that the phone automatically locks the display when a call is in progress, which makes dealing with voicemail difficult. There is apparently a shake awake app available on the market that can unlock it quickly, but I haven’t tried it yet. Everything else about this phone is brilliant! It integrates beautifully with gmail and facebook. I can’t wait for the Android 1.6 update due in a week or two…

Android or not – having been a loyal HTC user through several instruments I finally wernt Blackberry Bold. HTC’s South African tech support through LEAF Wireless just ain’t up to muster. Not even if you involve the CEO himself. So one votes with one’s feet. Pity.
