A friend of mine has had one for a few years. Overall it's been very good. The flip flap for protecting the screen is wimpy. It took only one short drop to partially rip the "hinge" part. It's also survived a spill of coffee (no cream or sugar) and went back to working OK after drying out. With an OS patch it can support SDIO devices in the SD/MMC slot, but the CPU is a bit underpowered for host-based devices, and you have to watch the power requirements. That means there's only one BlueTooth SDIO card (I dunno if it's shipping yet) that is NOT a host-based device and low enough power draw. It makes a very nice bookreader and MP3 player, does tolerably well on small video files. For SD memory cards, I've found the lowest prices for brand name ones at K-Mart. Yes, K-Mart, home of the Martha Stewart Living and Joe Boxer product lines. :) It will be total Fandemonium!
