I looked at it last night at CompUSA and honestly I wasn't particularly impressed. I liked how the curvy case feels in the hand, but I found the new stylus to suck big time (feels like a big chunk of cheap plastic and the chrome on it, WHY?) I don't like all the silver and chrome on the 800 in general. The new zoom/fullscreen buttons are chintsy. I also don't like the feel of the back, menu, and home buttons.

The built in stand has a nice click to the two positions, and I can see how it'd be useful. The screen was nice with the harder surface, but didn't seem particularly different than the old one. I tried launching some apps and moving around in the interface, and it didn't seem all that much faster than my 770, certainly not enough of a difference to matter that much to me. The extra memory would be great I'm sure, and the SD cards are nice, but other than that I feel it's not that much better. And I know it can be changed, but I hate the new theme for OS2007, I think it looks amateurish compared to even some of the 770 themes.

OS2007 didn't seem any different to me, but I'm sure that'll change when new apps are written for it and not for OS2006. Mostly, I'm concerned that Gtalk won't see any updates for 2006 but will for 2007, that sucks.
