Detailed review
Pros:
The camera is pretty decent
The sure press screen is fairly intuitive once you get used to it
The GPS locks quickly
3G speeds are excellent, as well as signal reception
Impressive feature set
OS allows for multi-tasking, MMS, and tethering

Cons:
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Phone locks up all the time, even when just typing (every 2-3 words)
Several times a day, a batter pull is necessitated, which requires the phone 9 minutes to restart (I timed it)
I was only able to successfully answer about half the calls (the rest the phone just chocked and died on)
Voice quality (microphone) was surprisingly poor, necessitating that I use a headset at all times if I wanted people to be able to understand me
Battery life REQUIRED me to carry two fully charged batteries to make it through 12 hours of light use (20 minutes of phone usage 30 minutes of web)
Screen design allows dust to get behind the screen (after two months I could barely read the text on the screen)
