Looks great: nice hires for video, wifi, great memory space. No HSDPA is terrible though, let alone no UMTS. EDGE is just so slow, and basically unusable for any data purposes. It's such a backward step considering I first used 3G literally 6 years ago, and 1.8mbit HSDPA for the last 6 months. Once you get used to consistent 150-200KBytes/sec on a flatrate tarriff (7.50 pounds a month) it really changes the way you use the mobile.
Maybe in the European version they'll add decent connectivity - I'll probably be tempted to sell my smartphone (MDA Vario II, aka HTC Hermes) then.
