how is it? i totally want one. - Jenna Bilotta

Great! Significantly faster than the G1. Better screen. The keyboard will take a bit of getting used to. The default notification sound is a robotic voice saying "DROOOoooooID", thankfully easily changed. - Tudor Bosman

What, why would you change that ? :D - Mo Kargas

*spock eyebrow* LOL - Derrick

The screen is absolutely beautiful. YouTube videos over wifi (bandwidth detection?) are sharp and clear. - Bill Strathearn

Also, it's the first phone I had that does email right; it can easily handle multiple email accounts (two Gmail accounts, both using the Android Gmail client; one IMAP account, and one Exchange account). It seamlessly merges the contacts from the different accounts (and also my Facebook friends) and allows me to configure different notifications for the different accounts. - Tudor Bosman from Android

What about the keyboard - heard it was kinda janky. Though my number one concern is Twitter (need to demo Twittdroid) then UX of 1. mail and 2. SMS - Mona Nomura

The keyboard isn't great. It's not bad, but I think the one on my old G1 was *slightly* better. It's no Blackberry, it's no Sidekick (the Sidekick had the best keyboard, but it was also huge and clunky). There are two different email clients -- one for Gmail (which is awesome, and supports all Gmail features in a very Gmail-y way), and one for other accounts (IMAP/POP, Exchange) which I have no complaints with. SMS UI -- messages are threaded; what else is there? I don't really use SMS. I haven't used any Android Twitter clients. - Tudor Bosman

I'm actually excited to play with one tomorrow - it sounds a lot more promising than the Pre. - Mona Nomura

Contact integration is really great. You get an address book (which is automatically synced with your Gmail, Facebook, Exchange accounts), and, once you select a contact, you get a list of options (based on where the contact was imported from) -- call / SMS the phone numbers on the account, send an email, chat with them in Google Talk (it shows the Google Talk status right there in the contact list view), view their Facebook profile, etc. It seems to merge contacts intelligently -- my Gmail contacts and Facebook friend lists have a lot of people in common (obviously) and the contact data is merged, not duplicated. - Tudor Bosman

The wall charger is a generic USB charger, with a USB charging port, which is nice: you can use it to charge any USB-chargeable accessories. The phone comes with a standard USB-to-microUSB cable that can be used for either charging or data transfer. This cable is only 3ft long, which is a pain; come on, Motorola, bundling a 6ft cable would have cost you, what, 15 cents more? - Tudor Bosman
