I have it in my hands right now.
Among the good things that made me buy it are: the pretty big screen (2 inch at 176x220 pixel resolution or so) which is quite brite and displays readable information; a slim profile, not too lightweight, neither too heavy, just feels it has some substance; MicroSD card slot - i can't live without that - supports upto 4Gb of additional memory. Plus the price, pretty cheap for what it has to offer.
The sounds / audio aspects are rather satisfying, not the best in the universe but quite ok, I've got nothing to complain - loud and clear enough.
The organizer is powerful enaugh and decently designed, as well as the general user interface, had no problems naigating and clues are at each step you take (a descriptive help menu, probably the most reliable one i've seen on a phone).
The processor is a bit slow for it's applications and operating system, but just a bit as I see it, not quite a problem. A big plus for being very responsive with a MicroSD card inserted, as I've seen some others choking badly in such situation.
The keypad could've been a bit larger, there's unused space on it, the keys are a bit too small for my tastes so not too productive in a text input scenario and i find it a bit awkward that it first inserts the number of the key and then the letters.
About the battery lifespan, I don't know yet, I've had it for 2 days, charged it once and now I'm waiting, maybe I'll get back later with updates. I expect some 3-4 days, with an average of 20-30 minutes/day of talking and some occasional music though...
Overall, I like it, except for the slider mechanism which I fear it might fail some day (though they say it's a rock solid slide) ...
