I've had it a full day now. Overall: It's very unBBlike in everything but mail. And in mail it's about 95% BB. There are a few changes in text entry. Like there's no autoperiod with two spaces at the end of a sentence. But pressing the * key gives you a period. Pressing it twice gives you @, and if you keep pressing it cycles through most symbols.

It's nice to have good phone features and usable BT again. File transfer is good. I've moved Jpegs and burned some home videos over to play on the phone. I've also used the memory to store Word docs and HTML files that can be sent by BT. Downfall at this point is that I can't open or attach files in email. From what I gather the BB reader plugins don't work, but I'm not positive about that.

At first I thought the Samsung OS was not as simple as Nokia's, but after using it, I think it may even be easier. The 5 way nav is pretty easy and quick. (The trackwheel on the 7105 was VERY slow.)

The 2mp camera is decent. It has a flash and light for video. This isn't very powerful, but can help when things are really dim. The video comes defaulted to shoot for 7 seconds. Apparently this is the size limit for sending with messages. This can be changed to shoot until you're out of memory. Video Quality is seems to be on par with other phones.

T-Zones service for the net is okay and runs about the same speed as net access on the 7105.

By far the best feature is the flip design. The phone is slim and doesn't need a case.

Have not played with using the phone as a modem for my MacBook and seems I haven't experiemented much to see if Pocketmac will sync. Have not had a chance to try Java games or apps yet.
