Everything on this phone loads very fast, almost no load time for -anything-. It is very optimized for the Sprint network and I could stream Pandora all the way to work which is almost 40 minutes away.

The screen is beautiful, the UI is beautiful, the video player streams almost anything you throw at it. Same with music player: almost iPhone quality. The built in apps are perfect. GPS is great and Sprint Navigation works even where other phones didn't. Messaging is almost exactly like the iPhones, except it had MMS first if I remember correctly :). Key board takes a little getting used to, but I was a speed demon on it after awhile. I love the synergy concept and I could access everything on this phone by the time you had yours out of your pocket. Just type in the first couple letters of a contact, web address, or app and bam you are there.

I got this phone a month after it had arrived. I was one of the few people not completely going crazy over why it didn't have apps flowing in yet, but I remember having the iPhone; it took a longer time to get them.

Apps are now flowing in like crazy, but the greatness of this is also where I found the biggest flaw and the reason I gave up and moved to a different phone. Palm has a pseudo Apple-style app approval process. They are quicker and do accept more, but it's not free flowing like Android. Apps are simple to design, which is also why they are flowing in so fast. This is another feature that is a flaw. The apps are generally garbage. There are no real games as you really don't have access to anything more powerful than javascript. Definitely no 3D games when I had it. In short, most of the third-party apps are beautiful, but lack the power to do anything.
