Still trying to decide if it's worth it seeing as I'm no where near my upgrade date.

I am no where near my upgrade date either, but I will be stopping by the mall on my way home from work to check it out and see how it feels anyway

Was just playing with it in the store. Seems pretty good. The swype keyboard is pretty accurate, I was surprised. And it seems Samsung got the problem with the moving widgets solved in Touchwiz 2.0. It seems you can only move the widgets when the widget tray is open, but when it is closed they are locked in place. The one I was playing with had a low battery so I couldn't check out the camera, but from what I read it is more or less the same thing as the one in our omnia, but the video is better. I was able to disable the touch wiz and widgets and see the WinMo 6.5 interface there ready to go, so that was nice. You can the only thing that didn't change was the settings menus. Even with the widgets off and the touchwiz disabled I still didn't see the standard WM menus. The cube seems fairly useless to me..much like the carousel in Mobile shell. But on the whole I liked the phone, but they are pricing it a bit high, but what are you going to do...

I ordered mine after I got home from the vzw store, looks like you have to do some online stuff to activate the rebate, but it's better than having to do it the paper way. I don't remember having a stamp in the house for a few years now.

Got it up and running, light years ahead of the original. you get the random have to extra push on the screen, nothing unmanageable though.
swype is freakin AWESOME!!!!. Synced right up. I think i am gonna run the touchwiz for a while, just for fun. It will resize wallpaper to fit on it's own.
love the task manager, it's a little clumsy in places, but all in all a good effort.
