So what do we know after the first review?

Keyboard - As quick and as accurate as a Palm Treo the reviewer had used for years, very good news

Display - the nicest found on a cell phone today, largest and highest-resolution screen on any smartphone, "gorgeous screen makes other smart phones look primitive"

Screen Durability - Did not scratch whatsoever after being thrown in a purse or pocket

Network - EDGE isn't great, which we already knew. Will switch on the fly to open WiFi spots though and is very fast using WiFi.

User Interface - "effective, practical and fun", may require extra taps compared to other cell phones

Internet - "a real, computer-grade Web browser", supports all major consumer email providers including support for Microsoft Exchange

Battery life - 7+ hours of talk time, "far exceeds the talk time claims of other smart phones"
- "over 22 hours of music playback time"
- "over 9 hours" of internet surfing/email time, which exceeded Apple's own estimates by 3 hours

Camera - excellent picture quality but no video
