I decided to return mine today (before i saw this thread!)

Battery life has been fine, especially since it’s WinMo and it has this great big screen.

The major downsides for me are:

1. soft resets every day or two. Partially due to memory leak and other syncing issues
2. clunky media integration. I wanted this to replace my iPod Touch, but getting all the video and podcasts on here and syncing is just a PITA.
3. Continuous problems syncing email on a timely basis with Exchange. This should be a no brainer, but I’m tired of having to redo the exchange relationship
4. Stylus. It’s 4Q 2009, I shouldn’t need a stylus for ANYTHING on a touch phone. HTC does a commendable job with TouchFLO, but it’s only a band aid. Too many scroll bars, small Xs, etc throughout the OS. This isn’t HTCs fault, it’s WinMo

All in all, I WANT to like this phone. I WANT to like WinMo. After using every day for a few weeks I’ve come to the realization that it’s not ready. I’ll be returning mine this weekend. Not sure about getting the Droid (Moto Sholes), there is also speculation that an HTC variant of the Dragon will be coming to VZW prior to Christmas as part of the Droid line. I’ll consider a WinMo phone when WinPhone 7 comes out.
