the center button is a simple home button, nothing more. Got the phone for a few days, for ~330 € (bought in Asia). Screen is fantastic. Bright, damn precise. The UI is rather fast, so is the general impression the phone gives. The DivX playback is impressive, no slowndown, you can play your DivX and Xvid directly copied from your PC without any resize or re-encoding. The camera (5Mpix+LED Flash) is quite good too, and record up to 720p videos at 30fps, the result is actually quite impressive on your PC screen. The usb based sync software is a bit behind my expectations, refused to work on vista + oulook 2007. Worked on outlook 2003 for the contacts. I could not get the schedule to be sync'ed on my phone :( The GPS : strangely enough they claim picture geotagging and 3D maps software : I could not find it, and geotagging seems to be disabled for the moment. I have not tested the Wifi performance so far, same for bluetooth. Last word, the battery lifetime seems quite good, not seen battery so far going to zero after 3 days playing with the device.
