it's a neat device i suppose, but the browser is shit. wap pages really need to go away once and for all. a fully capable browser is long overdue on these things. these mobile device manufacturers need to look at apple and take the freakin' hint!

email on it isn't particularly impressive either (plain text only? wtf?). it does the job, i suppose, but come on, this thing is supposed to be all about collaboration via email, texting, and web, yet it reminds me of the same crap that my old treo could do (which also left a lot to be desired).
i agree the browser is shit. however there's an OS upgrade that supports rich text emails.

My friends have this upgrade and love it. It also has a dedicated YouTube application a la iPhone/G1. The UI is much nicer looking and you also record videos with the camera.
