Pros:

SKYPE!!!

Cons:

No Word editing

I have had it for over a month, long enough to get over the idiosyncrasies we all get used to on other devices. Bottom line it’s a mobile phone that allows you to go Wi-Fi on a Windows Mobile OS. I have added a 1 GB memory card; use it as document storage, music, video etc. I get all my company email and can open the attachments, word, excel, PP, pdf, etc. even shoot video. The camera is very good for a phone device if you ask me. I can’t edit the attachments but I wouldn’t want to on a tiny keyboard anyway. The absolute best part of this phone is being able to load Skype and call all my international contacts using Skype. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than T-mobile that’s for sure. Think of it as a mobile Skype phone, granted the connection is not as good as my DSL, but fine once you go Wi-Fi. I pull into any coffee joint/bookstore, hookup with Wi-Fi plug in the headphones and talk all day long, surf the web etc. not to mention all the other stuff (see the DASH spec sheet.) Now I too can go into a Starbucks and check my mail like all the other nerds with their laptops, I just do it more discreetly. It's the whole package, when you download your favorite music to it. Oh and did I mention that the sync software is pretty automatic, just plug in with the USB cable, and sync away with your Outlook. When you hook up with the USB cable it also charges the phone. So if you have your, or a friends laptop nearby you can top off the battery. Oh by the way my brother has the new "blueberry" Pearl, it's cool too but I have Skype!
As far as the easily breaking screen that others have mentioned I haven't had that problem. It maybe because I use the belt case for it. There is reason why laptop manufacturer’s screens close inside. You gotta cover/protect the screen; this is not a manufacturer’s defect only a user’s defect if you ask me. I definitely recommend it.
