Why arent these features implemented? This device is no reason for me to change, cause iīm an owner of a magician.

Only the keypad and wlan arenīt enough arguments to change.

Does anybody know an comparable device with 3G & video in this formfactor at the moment?

The CDMA version of the Wizard (the Apache) has 3G (EVDO). It doesn't have video conferencing though.

Didnt think this was a 3g phone any way... and tbh what exactly does 3g give us... high speed data... ok cool.... but WIFI will be quicker... oh and vid confrencing... wow.... when everybody has it on landlines - may be... until then I strugle to find a use for picture messaging let a lone video..

Even my 2G phone ( Motorola 720i ) does me for work... and I work from home.

Also has any one thought that there may be 'business reasons' not to have a camera... I know of a few - namly security in some situations.

( Sorry for the rant .... just sort of came out... my point was does it matter that you cant vid conf... if thats what you want get a Universal... this I think is aimed at the middle market the same as the Wizard and thats never IMHO been marketed as a top of the range phone - mearly one that does a lot ).

The upcoming HTC Hermes model will have a front-facing video camera and a rear-facing megapixel camera, plus 3G (non-USA-friendly UMTS again like the JASJAR, I'm assuming).

So, the JASJAR had the videoconferencing you wanted, but the size you wanted in the Wizard, hold out for the Hermes coming out the first half of 2006.
