[Overpaid Slacker]

Picked one up on the Friday they came out (my Voyager was about dead).

It is one of the coolest devices I've ever used; it has a few bugs, which I expected, but none of them are material to me. I've read they're going to do an OTA firmware update in a month or so. I'm not wild about early-adopting, but I needed a new phone, and this one does everything I could ask.

Only downside to Android 2.0 is that it won't support Flash for a few months.

Keep your screen timer on 2 minutes, and the brightness at 50% or less and the battery life is fine. The GPS/Google map/navigation is great.

Gripes: the vibration is not very strong; the notify tone for texts and all other non-phone call notifications has to be the same (you can't use one tone for text and another for gmail update, e.g.) and the keypad takes a little getting used to (the upper keys are a bit close to the screen bezel, so you've got to practice a bit). Lastly, the GPS cradle and the docking station (which is great) require that you remove the hardcase. Not a big deal, but a bit of a PITA.

EDIT -- I have the 2 piece plastic hardcase -- a part that goes on the perimeter of the "slider" and a piece that goes on (and covers) the back (except the camera aperture). The rear piece is the part that needs to be removed for the cradles.

I would highly recommend it.
