Initial thoughts -

1) Great screen, amazing scrolling and precision; same for trackpad!
2) OS7 is REALLY JUST OS6 with a few MINOR tweaks...
3) Volume (earpiece) lower than 9780, not good
4) Bluetooth will not pair with some of my existing handsfree units, big negative.
5) 70MB Less free memory than my 9780 with same (2)apps - not impressed
6) Very fast, very fast browsing - fonts now come up in nice big format and easy to read.
7) While scrolling on trackpad...sometimes you hit the screen and open a link or app unintentionally.
8) Very poor battery life and will never improve IMO
9) Some things on screen are almost impossible to click on or off; eg, connections screen...bluetooth option.


All in all, not bad, but as per RIM's usual hardware releases, device not ready primetime IMO.
