Likes:

** Camera (is finally acceptable quality for Family Albums and moments - and, as a Jewelry dealer, I can finally e-mail decent crisp pics, and, not feel bad I wasn't using my Omnia) Autofocus is great.
** Form Factor
** And, unlike Cory, I like the menu and back buttons, vs. the old Curve. The flat area (buttons) are like on my Bold. They have a smooth clicky feel to it, with a large area to press.
** UMA (at least when I get a T-Mobile USA 8900 that iwll support T-Mobile USA UMA, unlike my T-Mo German 8900 I have now)

Dislikes:
** Font issue - 9 is too big, 8 is too small (but I'm staying with 8). Should have done more real world testing with actual users on this issue, and, offered half fonts, on this terrificly crisp screen. They could offer in an OS upgrade, but, I doubt they will bother.
** Micro USB, but, this is alleviated with an adapter, as per my other thread.
** I guess RIM felt the slower than Bold processor was sufficient, as it is not 3g. But, I miss the slightly peppier feel of my Bold. I still will use the 8900 over it, though.
