There's quite the difference between a "
20 minute hands on impression" at a Sprint store and an actual
review 
I'm also not sure 2 consists of a "pile"...
Here is another brief user experience from SU:

My thoughts on it so far:
Cons - the phone has frozen up a few times for about 3-4 seconds while playing Bejeweled 2 and having Activesync running in the background. That's not a good sign even though it's supposed to have more RAM on the damn thing compared to the 800wx. Not much of an improvement over 800wx performance wise.
Pros - The device is much sexier and sleeker looking than anything Sprint has at the moment IMO. The phone doesn't feel cheap like the 800wx, which I thought was just the 700wx slapped on with some blue housing sans antanae. The touch screen itself is much nicer and is more responsive, but because the phone feels so different than what we've seen/felt, it feels odd when you are touching the screen with your thumbs. The keypad is a huge improvement over the 800wx. you can actually type on the thing without having your hand/thumbs feel like they were going to cramp.
One really cool thing is the ability to go to some websites and the phone would actually play embedded videos that the touch pro/diamond and other windows phones didn't.
otherwise with the 20 or so minutes i've played with it there's nothing that really would make me purchase this phone, and especially not at the price tag (549.99/249.99 i believe is what it's listed as).
the box is different. and i do mean different. instead of the standard yellow box that most sprint phones come packaged in with a lot of wasted space, the thing is half the size and oddly shaped. i guess palm/sprint is trying to cut down on waste/material?
