I have seen rumors that T-Mobile might give discounts to current SK/HT owners, for the SK2/HT2?

Wishful thinking? Can anyone verify the rumor?

        I got mine yesterday. It's not any smaller, length- and width-wise, but it's quite a bit thinner. And it feels way more solid.

        The camera is built-in and better than the old one (has a flash) but it seems to take a while to power up.

        The best part, though, is that they have relocated the earpiece to the left side -- it's also the joypad. This is much more convenient for people who like to take calls with the left side of their head. And, because the earpiece is now centered on that side of the device, instead of being shoved up in the corner, it's much easier to aim the soundwaves into your ear, no matter which ear you're using.
