Was wondering this (b) myself, but doesn't seem like it would take much 
more than an incoming call that runs the vibrator for large chunks of a 
second several times..  A worthy tradeoff, especially considering the 
lack of feedback otherwise on the touch screen.

If nobody else beats me to it, I'll hop on it as soon as I get my 
grubbies on a Neo. ;-)
