Detailed review
Dropped calls, crashes, sluggish UI all take away from a great piece of hardware. At first I loved the device. Features like the Facebook integration and maps navigation are really great. But other places like the poor Google Voice SMS integration (I'm not much of a phone caller, so the good work that GV did on the calling side was lost on me). Several times when I hit the home button the background would load with no icons. It took about a week before I was back on my iPhone. There are a few features I'd love to see make their way to the iPhone, but I'll sacrifice those for usability and polish. In the end, it's a Linux phone: great conceptually but poorly executed user experience.
