From form factor, to weight, to performance I am in love with the device. I currently carry a Motorola Q, which has served its purpose but really lacks in many areas - I've put it down to carry around a beta unit, which I am afraid to give up. Windows Mobile 6.1 has been great on each device capable of upgrade - I've used it on a Q9x, Samsung Ace and HTC 6800 Mogul (all from Sprint), and the 800w is hands-down my favorite (although the Mogul is has been outstanding). Performance of the device is superb - under load of Sprint TV and playing video media, the device performed well with mobile communicator and ActiveSync constantly running. Sprint TV looks fantastic on the device and performed flawlessly; video and audio media had excellent quality, even when streamed. I wouldn't expect less from a Rev.A device. Of course all of it took its toll on the battery - I barely had 5 hours of use before recharging, but that did include nearly 2 hours of continuous talk time in admid my media playing and data sync frenzy. I have already committed myself to this device when it launches, and I believe the relationship will lead to the 3rd Great and Bountiful Human Empire.
