I WANT ONE!! 
I have had mine for 3months noand i can definatly say one of the best phones i have ever had, it did take a few days to get used to the touch screen, but i suppose you would all imagine that anyways.
I was apprehensive after having the terricle lg chocolate, but the touch screen on this is so easy to use and very precise in what and where you want to go and do.
The look of the phone is amazing, very slim, chic and sexy and fits in my tiny hands very well.
The camera is too of very good quality, unlike most camera phones, with the built in flash, pictures taken in the dead of the night are still cearly visable.
I actually use mine as a modem to connect to the internet and thats where the HSDPA facility comes in great. I use it every three to four days for approx hour and half, And i can say i have never once charged it since purchasing. (connecting it to the internet charges it for me, i mean never charged via the mains adaptor)
So i personnaly feel the battery life is out of this world.
I totally recommend this phone to anyone considering it. I know that getting this phone via an upgrade through t-mobile direct gives you a 14 day trial, so if unsure check to see if network does the same, But i promise you will not be dissapointed.

Makes the iPhones 2 megapixel camera look silly, go with the 5 megapixel Samsung tocco and get the new leather brown version.
