One thing I can say is that the software is better than I anticipated. It is smooth as silk, just as good as the iPhones touch sensitivity. The phone itself is ok, all soft touch material and the keyboard is very good, but one thing I don't like is the weight, this baby is heavy! I think it's stated as 158g but it feels heavier than that, heavier than my Blackberry 8800 world phone. This trackball is actually very useful and works great.

I have to say that 3G works very fast and even when on Edge it is slower of course but faster than any AT&T edge that I used in the past. Unfortunately I don't get as many bars with 3G as I do with Edge, hopefully that will be fixed. GPS is fast too and spot on.

I agree, "You have to open the keyboard to get landscape screens? Huh?" This is annoying because if you just want to surf the internet in lanscape mode you have to flip open the screen. Terrible in my opinion.

I only see this UI getting better. Like I said the only thing other than no landscape with screen closed is that I don't like that it has the weight of a brick.
