This is my first smartphone, too. I had some experience with WM on older non-phone PDAs, though. I mostly like the phone and aside from any future hardware failure (knock on plastic), all gripes I currently have should be resolved by an official WM6.5 release and/or a custom ROM. Finger friendliness is my largest complaint (e-mail, RSS and other non-TF3D/kinetic scroll apps). Next is general performance - it's not bad but my Exchange inbox is huge and takes a few seconds to load. And programs should open faster for 528mhz. It does run faster w/o TF3D on but 6.1 w/o TF3D is painful, imo. If a custom ROM can make the phone feel generally as snappy WITH TF3D as it felt without TF3D on the stock ROM, then I'd say I would be completely happy with the phone.
