Keep in mind this is my first smart phone, so I'm not as experienced or as jaded as some seasoned users.

Color me impressed!! So far setup has been a snap. Was able to sync my Gmail contacts, email, and Picasa photo album in one fell swoop. GPS located me in about 1 second. At first there was a small circle around my location, but it quickly became a focused dot. Tomorrow I'll be trying out Goggle navigation on the road. The keyboard was a total pleasure to use, especially after years of using the numeric key pad on my Samsung Sync flip phone. Also I think with a little more practice, texting will become very efficient using Swype. Sound quality is absolutely amazing, as is speaker volume. The screen is also very clear and easy to read, and showed off my Picasa photos stunningly well. I guess coming from a dumb flip phone, to a top notch Android device, it would be hard not to be impressed. But at this point, I can't find anything to complain about.
 
I am pretty happy too at this point. I am a little wary though because I was happy with my first android the Moment the first day..Then it turned on me like a rabid dog.
I can tell already though that this phone is fast cool and flat out crushes the moment. Even if it didnt have 4g.

Can you tell me how you setup Picasa?

I'll tell you, its all kind of fuzzy now. Got my phone last night and stayed up late setting it up. If I remember correctly, I went into settings> sync & accounts, then had the option to log into my Gmail account. At that point it asked me what I wanted to sync, so I choose gmail, contacts, and Picasa.

Hmm, I have never seen this option before.
