I've played with one a few times in a store and will be getting one very soon. The phone is very nice. Screen is amazing, the menu's are nice, keyboard isn't that bad.

alrighty i've played with mine for about 4-5 hours. so here goes what i've found so far.
activesync in xp64bit is a pain (still havn't gotten it work)
IE is much faster than WM5 (as i remember)
menus are easy to navigate, but somewhat slow (especially when running applications in the background)
windows media player is slow (like driving 10 under the speed limit)
i've only found windows live messenger. since i havn't found any others i assume you have to download them
graphics are amazings, the camera looks as though it has some to be desired, but thats probably because i'm use to the 1.3mp on a really bad screen.
the slide isn't loose (just wish it had some sort of click or latch so i could feel it when it closes or opens)
the small circle navigation wheel on the front bothers me, its not like most devices where is spins with a click or with resistance, it feels like a trackball mouse or a bearing, just spins freely all the time.
charging the phone uses a mini-usb connector for either charger or computer, which i like; but to plug this in you have to plug in a dongle so that the usb plugs in the same port the headset does (which is agrevateing).
the only bad problem i have found (due to going to school) is that when you put it on silent, it only silences notifications and ringers, so wmp and anything else still running. blasts music like nothing was any different.
if enough applications are running in the background, sometimes text messageing will freeze, the phone is still useable but u have to press the home key causeing all typed text to be deleted.
that is all i have at the moment, i can let u know more as i find out, i'll probably do a decent review on it once i've had it for a week or two.

Well I just got mine today and I am very impressed but that might be because this is my first smartphone. So far I absolutely love it
