A 5+ MP cam w/ a xenon flash would take this phone from good to out of this world! And, I also agree that the base home screen is a tad boring. However I'm sure there will be theme's ect as Android becomes more popular This phone is SO close to perfect!

The default Android theme is OK, but it is not overly attractive/exciting. Once more widgets are available (e.g. weather, sports, news, etc.), vendors/operators could potentially install them on the desktop as well, to make it even more attractive.
