Can't put it any better. I'm using it for some time now and must say I never looked back to a touchscreen phone.
The slider is of very high quality, height-speed 3G network support makes browsing fun, the screen is simply the best I've ever seen (just use the build in Google maps with satellite view to be blown away!) and the scroller is just plain great - can't imagine having a phone without it (you can use it as a scroll wheel or as a standard directional pad when pressing it).
Of course there's always room to improvement: You have to get used to the heat-sensitive buttons (which for my taste react to lightly) and I wished it had GPS and WLAN.
Finally regarding its design: whether you like it depends as always on your personal taste. I really like it (a bit 'retro' maybe giving its shiny border). A graphics designer and Apple fan who walked into my office and saw that phone was really amazed by its design - so I guess it can't be that bad
Anyway: It's great to see that this phone finally gets some attention - it would really deserve to be more prominently featured.
