Interesting article, though I think it gets stuck on the WiFi problems. I picked one up to try out as an alternative to a BB when connect with an Exchange server. Being a Mac user Exchange is easy now with Mail, but finding a phone that would work with Exchange AND sync easily with the Mac was frustrating -- until now. Granted, I am a niche user, but for my needs my trial has left me very satisfied. Connection using the free Mail for Exchange works great and reliably for mail, calendars, to-do's and contacts. Synching with the Mac was simple and has the benefit of a 3-way solution -- contacts, calendar and to-do's synch between Mac and Phone -- phone synchs with Exchange server -- everything is on the same page.
The phone quality has been very good with my existing Cingular service, and people I call have commented on how it doesn't 'sound like a cell phone' when I call.
I would definitely recommend this as an alternative to a BB and a preferred alternative if you are a Mac user.
