been using mini since its release. so fast at times but still has some issues. Seems to hang at times and I notice the data connection bars turn off?? strange. if this clears up, I would use it as my default.

Holy crap that is about as smooth as the iPhone from what I can tell. I am in love already and I just used it for like five seconds.
