Well, I've been holding off since I know so little about the product in 
question, but, I have this to say.  The screen less cell phone seemed 
to be designed from the ground up, and, unlike the other phones which 
sort of have accessible menus, you have to do that with voice, pretty 
much announcing to the world when you want to perhaps make a phone 
call, and forget about text messaging, which may not seem like an 
important feature, but, the Owasys 22C does it pretty well.  And as for 
a solution being perfect when it first comes out, well, the Owasys 
isn't perfect, but I consider it worth dropping my previous wireless 
provider which gave me unlimited minutes and unlimited long distance in 
the states and went with T-Mobile, because at least now I have a phone 
I can use and I paid a competitive price for it.
I'll wait to see what the price of the Icon is before I rant about it, 
but if it can do all of what it claims, which seems to be so, I may be 
letting the list know how much fun I am having with it even if I had to 
fork over a hefty amount... My two cents or so... clink clink clink... 
If only I could count...
Cheereo.
