As an ex senior admin in another ppc site I know exactly what I left and what I got into, but to answer your questions...

1. I have had it for a few days and i love everything about it. The look and feel as well as how well it does everything

2. I ca*me from a touch pro and, yes I'd do it over

3. I saw a lot of complaints about these issues that worried me, but I saw that later batches came with better and more solid build quality. I specifically asked for the last ones they received to ensure that. And its rock solid btw.

4.Best but must be suffering from the poor quality of the first batches so make sure you get the latest build date to avoid issues

5. Yes and not over two years like apple. Palm and the developer community really do work, they already have terthering, root (jailbreaking) and even homescreen widgets on the homescreen, not to mention more homebrewed apps than the appstore atm
