I have one and use it lots......

Got one for my company!!

1. Really good screen - can take photos for clients, copy them from my camera there and show them straight away.
2. O2 3g is not so good, sometimes... might have to change carrier, but again I can sit with a client and demonstrate some web based things.
3. Sound quality ok for tunes and vid's
4. Not really that fragile... have good case and I think its quite a sturdy build, certainly does not feel cheap.
5. Occasionally I'll sit in the pub and work out a project plan for my next project using it.
6. Quite good to read books with when away from home - although the books are far too expensive IMHO
7. Occasional iTunes card deals are good.
8. No real problem with dirty screen, which I was surprised about
9. No flash!!! Hurrah!!

Bad .....
1. Some stupid apps, like BBC news - I just read the website. But I just ignore them....
2. Get earache from the wife sometimes
3. No flash!!
4. Would like to be able to edit MS Word documents
5. Would like to be able to read html/css source behind some web pages.
6. WOTB goes directly to mobile site!! :) :)
