The OS is intuitive and seems to be very well thought through.
I have been a BB fan since my work gave me a Curve 8320 years ago - it is still going strong and the build quality is clearly fantastic. It has been dropped and (accidentally!) kick along the floor - no harm done. My Bold 9000 fell and acquired a few bashes but again its so well made that it never missed a beat. I have had other phones which died completely after much less abuse.....
The thing I didn't like about the 9000 was the battery life. It didn't take much for it to die. I don't think I am the only one though.
Back to my lovely new phone. I have installed most of the applications I was used to - no Weather app yet but I am sure it will be upgraded for OS 7. I am a heavy user of REX's ToDOMatrix and IdeaMatrix, both of which are now running fine on my 9900.The transfer process was fairly easy although their FAQ section was years out of date. I did finally find the correct help and all went smoothly.
I haven't yet worked out how to edit the RSS feds but that will be this weekends adventures - I try to work it out, and rarely resort to help files. I get a great sense of achievement when it all finally works...
I thought long and hard about moving to an iPhone - I have 2 macs at home and love them - but just couldn't bring myself to move away from the physical keyboard. It is even better now than on either the 8320 or 9000 and RIM have done a great job of fitting loads onto a tidy little package. I saw a 4 inchLG in the shop and can't imagine having to lug that around. I can read everything I need to ( now I have my new Varulux glasses!!) and zooming works fine - no need for so much screen IMHO of course.
I can't recommend it highly enough. Here it is after the unboxing ;-)
