This is the PPC I've wanted for 8 years.

I'm just simply amazed by this device. First, I have to say, this is the most pocketable Pocket PC I've ever used. Its easily on par with the smallest one I've used, the HP iPaq 1900. It fits in my pocket with ease, and even into my chest pocket on a dress shirt without really noticing it there. My biggest problem with cell phoens, PDA's, and espicially cell PDA's has been not wanting to grab and take it with me when running a small errand so as not to lug it around...won't happen with the touch. I almost feel ashamed putting it into the case which seems actually larger than the touch itself. I can't wait for a decent holster for it.

The feel of it is great. The rubberized siding is absolutely wonderful to hold. It looks amazing. The black on silver with the bit of gray gives both a professional sleek look while at the same time cutting edge.

The interface is masterful. I find myself walking around just clicking into programs, or bringing up the cube, for no other reason than to do it. Its just very intuitive and easy to use, without having to juggle getting the stylus out and placing it back when needing it. On an appearance factor, it just feels much "Cooler" to be tapping around on the phone and bringing things up with your fingers than holding the very bottom of your phone clicking around on little buttons.

About buttons. I am finding myself missing them, but I don't know if it is just due to old habits right now. I keep trying to click for a start menu button and use the D-pad because that's what I've always done...then again, i've always done it because I couldn't be bothered to pull out the stylus. I have a feeling that if I get AEbutton to take care of a few things, I'll be happy. And over time, I'll probably get used to and actually prefer just tapping it out on screen.

Absolutely falling in love with this device and I don't even have it home yet to start putting other software onto it
