I've got one and I'm loving it. And I used to be a big screen, "it's gotta be VGA" person.
The slower CPU was a surprise, along with the scant RAM, but in practice, I don't notice it at all. I'm doing my regular work on it, too, writing articles and chapters in Word Mobile, and it feels completely comfortable. I just can't run TextMaker, but I'm managing without.
I installed a hack I found somewhere that adds back HTC's "phone pad" T9 input panel, so I'm not having any input problems -- certainly not when compared to my old Samsung D900, which I hated (nice form factor, horrible, horrible UI). The touch layer does mean you have to use solid taps, though.
I love not having to wear a stupid belt holster anymore, because the Touch fits so nicely into my pocket -- no weight or bulk. And finally integrating all my phone and messaging activity into one device is bliss.
Three-G would have been nice, because even though I read that Orange supposedly offers the best EDGE network in the UK, I don't see it in Edinburgh. All I get is GPRS. So surfing is a bit clunky, though fetching RSS feeds and e-mails is a snap. (Anyone have any insight on the EDGE situation here?)
