Some of the more significant updates:
- a 3 MP camera that includes the ability to take and edit video
- a 32 GP model
- a supposed massive speed increase
- battery life gets a big boost
- voice recognition to be used in making calls
The actual look of the device from the outside is for the most part unchanged.
It will apparently be available at Rogers starting June 19. Price drop to $99 for 8GB version, $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB.
