So far, everyone's ragging on the keyboard. This keyboard is perfect sized for my fingers, and I've texted about 150 times in the past 2 days. That's more than I ever do in a month with that piece of crap touch.
I love the fact that I can see what I have running. I don't have to download a 3rd party application to find that I have an IE window from 3 days ago still sucking up memory. It's all in front of you.
Sending something away to be closed is just a swipe away. God, I love that!
The display is so clear it almost looks fake. The phone is responsive, it's so easy to maneuver, and the few touch screen apps that it has are extremely accurate.
Dislike:
Not being able to sync directly with Outlook. Who in their right mind decided that AOL and Google should get the prize for syncing? I'm sorry, but that's the biggest downfall I can imagine.
Lack of apps. Please, please, please, give me back LiveSearch. Where is ok, but damn, when you live in a suburb of NY, it's frustrating when you get your choice of NY or nothing.
Lack of customization of notifications. Please, please give me back my ability to customize my voicemail notification. How else are my coworkers going to know that I just got a voicemail when I leave my phone at my desk? We have a contest to find the rudest ringers and notifications. Ringers are great, but text message received and vm notifications, oh where are thou custom notifications???
Main screen customization. I miss the Winterface app or Wisbar customizations of the home page. I want 1 click to the web, 1 click to email, 1 click to the weather to see if I am going to get rained on when I take the motorcycle into work.
