Treo 600 — the next generation

Handspring, which is being taken over by Palm, has shown off the Treo 600, which PC World.com reckons is "a dramatic design departure from previous versions of the critically acclaimed and popular handheld. Instead of a flip-up gray clamshell, a Treo 600 has the design of a silvery candy bar." Comment: Oh dear, still not what I was looking for: it looks like a RIM Blackberry. I want a clamshell design that doesn't cramp the keyboard and other UI elements -- something more like the Samsung V200 or a vertical-format version of the Hiptop (but it would have to sync with Outlook as well). Am I the only person who feels left out?
