This is a case of why you should not rush a product to the market. Turns out the Toshiba tablet has been so disappointing that the Dixons group (PC World, Dixons, Currys) have decided to stop selling the Toshiba tablet. For a company as huge as Toshiba it is quite worrying that they would release such a poor product.

This thing is just a mess. It's like a tablet drunkenly hooked up with a phone, and then took the fetus swimming in a Superfund cleanup site. The browser is miserable, at least when Flash is enabled. It goes catatonic, scrolling is laggy, and it can get laughably bad. When better browsing is half the reason to go for a larger screen, that's insanity. Not only does it use a stupid proprietary charging/syncing cable, It won't charge when you plug it into a laptop. (Update: It's not a proprietary cable, but good luck borrowing one from a friend.) Neither of the cameras are anything to write home about (sample photos/video here). Costing $599 off-contract is embarrassing when the iPad starts at $499. (Update: Fair point, the iPad 3G starts at $629. But it's got a bigger screen, and this thing still sucks.)

Dan, that's AMAZING! I'm so excited for you! Way to go! I hope you really enjoy it.
Let us know how you're usage patters change as a result of having the device relative to your other devices and especially your expectations.
Great job on bypassing the Verizon registration! I bet that someone would really appreciate this information and you should submit it to a popular blog (eg. androidcentral) so that others will be able to do the same.
One thing that you may consider doing is running the one-click-lag-fix on the device. It's supposed to speed up disk IO significantly and prevent stutters that can happen on the hardware.
Other than that, let us know how it's going!
Also did not notice any of the lag that many sites have talked about. Seemed to run buttery smooth to me. I should caveat that by saying:
1. The Tab on display did not have live wallpaper. Not sure how much having that on hinders smoothness.
2. Coming from an N900 anything will seem super smooth and responsive to you. May not feel the same way for those who have been using iphones or android phones for ages.
Got my tab yesterday and it is sExy.......trying to get use to swype!
It's still no maemo 5.......the browser is weak!
Dual boot would rock!
Very interesting! I'm curious to see how people substitute tablets for smartphones in general. I'm guessing that a 7" tab will replace smartphones 90% of the time. They're portable, and a 7" screen is much more comfortable than a 3.5".

Controlling an FPS by moving the device would be a very cool thing to try.
The video also features the AVATAR game (based on the motion picture). It actually doesn't look that bad!
