Well, first off I will say, I think the phone looks quite stunning actually, it's a black monolith that would make Kubrick proud. That said, the UI looks a bit piss on this thing. Why do companies think it's a good idea to make a huge screen on a touchscreen phone and then make these apps that can be resized to unusable proportions. It's just silly and poorly thought out. I could almost understand if the phone was aimed at high end multitasking phone ninja clients... but it isn't, it's aimed at chicks who want a neat looking touchscreen phone and are on verizon (more than likely). I agree it does look fairly slow, but if anything it may be much to early to judge. My nokia 5800 was slow when I first got it but 6 months later absolutely flew through most screens. Please no Nokia comments, I have a 3GS now and don't feel like fighting. Still, this phone could be a hit, just needs slightly more polish, ok battery life, and a low intro price (think $99). Might have to get it for my girlfriend when her upgrade period comes around.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"

I'll give it to your girlfriend when her period comes around...
