I was also reading all of the reports about how good/bad the device was going to be. Having used it for just about two weeks I can say this, "I don't use it in any way like I used my old phone." The contact management is 1000 times better than any phone I've ever used. The iPod features are incredible - video is by far the most compelling. I watch more podcasts now because of it. The email is good, not amazing, but it is good. The keyboard is fast and always surprises me with its ability to correct my fat finger mistakes. Overall the best part about the phone is its ability to sync seamlessly with my computer. Literally, put it in the cradle... done. That's it. All my contacts are updated, all my photos are imported to iPhoto, my bookmarks are updated, etc, etc. It is the MOST usable phone EVER, regardless of it's shortcomings. And hey... it is all software that is updated by... putting it in the cradle. Did you ever anticipate that Verizon would update the software on your Phone? Did you ever even buy the phone for the software or did you just say, "the software will stink no matter what so I'll just buy the coolest looking phone?" Game changer? I'll one-up that...
