i picked one up last week and really like it. i had the blackjack I and it was prob my favorite wm smartphone. i tried out an unlocked att unit before buying this and it was full of att programs that we would never use in canada. i dont mind carrier branding, but it was out of control!
it does still have a problem keeping up with fast typing, but in general, it doesnt miss letters often. i do wish that it had the soft-touch coating on the back, and not because it shows finger prints, but because it just feels better to me.
i have left the phone set to 3g and have my exchange account set to push emails as they arrive. i also use at least 1hr of talk time per day, and send receive 40 email/sms messages per day. after a few total discharge and recharge cycles i am burning through 50% of the battery when using the phone from 8am - midnight. not bad considering it is locked to 3g. if i start surfing the web the battery life takes a little bit of dip, as expected.
i am on the $65 1gig plan for data which is much better then the $100 for 100mb that i used to get. it is a step in the right direction for data prices. i dont expect a canadian carrier to match USA prices, as they have 10 times the subscriber base. $50 for unlimited data would make me happy, i think.
the only thing that is pissing me off is that the smartdialer is not working right. i do not have any filters set, but there are several contacts that i cannot find by spelling out their name from the home screen. i actually have to go into the contacts app and spell out the names to find them. very frustrating
