Samsung is a hardware manufactuer, and no one can deny that they are capable of wonderful hardware. 
However, a phone must be well-balanced between both the hardware and the software, and in this case it's the software that can (although doesn't have to) be the possible limitation.
See Samsung's Iphone 3GS for reference: it has great hardware made by Samsung, but the locked-down Apple software completely ruined it.

Minuses:
No keyboard
Not charged via USB
No dpad on the face
Opera
Not necessarily a minus, but a hurdle to adoption (for me, at least):
I have no idea what things that version of Linux allows or doesn't -- terminal window? OpenSSH? other SSH (not PuTTY!)? etc.

At least for me they still are missing the final polish and i don't really like their designs(this goes for H1 too imo).
Still my Omnia HD has worked great and one of the rare good looking Samsungs i have found.

the H1 is probably more a direct N920 competitor, if someone can port an open Linux to it.
