I played with one for about 20 minutes at Verizon today.
Loved:
xxx8226;Size and shape.
xxx8226;The fact that it's a Blackberry.
xxx8226;Touchscreen concept.
xxx8226;Landscape mode.

Underwhelmed:
xxx8226;Lag when switching between apps. That's a nightmare. Maybe a firmware update will address this, but in it's present state I couldn't deal with this.
xxx8226;Double-press on anything to actually make it work. Too many steps to do anything.

The landscape mode alleviates the cramped keyboard problem I find so annoying with all other touchscreen keyboards. High potential here, but in it's present state it's definitely not for me. Lets see if anything changes by the time a GSM model comes out.
