I've had my Tattoo for around 1½ month now - and I really enjoy it. I never bought it for the size of it, but for trying out Android to see if it was something for me at a cheap price. My plan has always been, that if I like Android, I'll wait for the SonyEricsson X10, if I didn't like Android I'd still have my SonyEricsson C905i which I actually enjoy much. I'm a SonyEricsson guy and actually don't have much care to HTC in the first place.
Anyway, I really do like the HTC Tattoo, it just works. Of course I have a gmail account and the calendar activated, so the phone pretty much works out of the box. I can't say if I'd have the same user experience if I used hotmail, etc.
As I never had the intentions of the Tattoo being the "final phone" for me, I knew that I had to get a different phone with a larger screen over time. And because my girlfriend usually get my old phones, I thought it would be nice to give her my Tattoo when I'm done with it (when my contract expires) so I've given her the phone to play with on various occations - and she actually likes it. The Sense UI is absolutely one of the reasons for this, as it's brilliant. My girlfriend also like the screen size, the actualy size of the phone, and the resistive is adequate for both her and me. I've also shown her the tattoomyhtc.com site and she has been playing around with various "tattoos" so there is no doubt, when I'm done with the Tattoo, I will hand it over to her.
My girlfriend uses her phone primarily for: talking, texting and MMS - and HTC Tattoo is good. I don't think there are many problems with typing on the screen. The T9-alike dictionary works really good I believe. Of course it will be easier for a girl to type on the screen, as they usually have more slim fingers that guys...
