This is my first PPC device (or PDA of any kind really), and I'm especially happy with it. Granted, I have not pushed this phone much beyond bubble breaker but soon plan to start serious multitasking. The slow, methodical pace I'm using is due to the fact that the PDA is new for me and not a comfort feeling with the device.

The phone makes and receives calls just fine, I've experienced no major lockups (though I have performed the sporadic soft reset to fix no modem found issues--to me the soft reset is not a huge deal compared to a windows xp machine booting), the EV-DO has been wonderful.

All in all, I would agree with the sentiments of others, it's probably not a perfect device, but thanks to the useful resources here, I'm extremely excited about the possibilities of what I will soon be able to do with the device (as validated by some of the other people on this board)
