- Nearly everything! It's the handiest device ever.
- Setup of connectivity is beautifully easy.
- Great bright, detailed, high-res screen (my photos look fantastic on it)
- Small enough to be pocketable (in a jacket at least)
- Integrated screen cover is a joy

Dislikes:

- Video player is... awful. My phones (Samsung A900 and A800 on Sprint) will play nearly any format I throw at it, while my 770 sputters with a low-res 3GP file (yes, it is properly encoded). This needs MAJOR work - what normal consumer is going to go looking for the MediaConverter app? Or know that the res needs to be multiples of 16? And it may be hardware-limited, but hopefully they can do something so that the player can playback higher-res files in general (say, 640px width at max, even!)

- Needs SyncML support via Bluetooth along with a basic PIM suite (hell, just port the Symbian apps over and call it a 'feature-add' - they dont even have to advertise it on the box, so they can keep marketing it as an internet tablet and not a PDA)

- Gah, handwriting recognition is crap.

Whatevers:

- I'm dying for an integrated thumbboard. In fact I'd be in love if they took a Hiptop/Sidekick-like form factor and used the smaller but higher-res screen.
- While I love the large screen, I probably would have settled for a smaller screen - that way they could have made the device even smaller and lighter, meaning it would be more suited to a pants pocket. I want to take this bad boy everywhere but when summer comes along, not sure how I'll fit it into my shorts...

Overall though, it's probably one of the best gadget purchases I've made in a long time - the fact that I don't want to leave home without it says it all!
