Yes – it's white and glossy. I believe the US and the HTC (non T-Mobile branded) versions are also like this.

and i also agree it feels odd when open – i wish there was a way to enter text without opening it

when i was first using it – the usb charger was plugged in and it was really awkward
its less so when thats out as you can find a good position – but it would of been better as a full slider.

Even more impressive is the speed it loads Google's applications.

I'm also not that fussed about the resolution of the screen, it doesn't take much to see the pixels and many of the icons can look blocky. The screen rotation mechanism is good, giving a satisfying 'snap' when opened or closed, however, it feels a touch insecure when open. The biggest let down about the whole experience is the QWERTY keyboard. The tiny keys are more or less flush and take a concerted effort to locate visually rather than semi watching the screen.

And one thing that drives me crazy is the lack of proper calendar integration with my Google Apps calendar. I'm seriously considering switching to the G1.
