"Just returned the incite to the store..."
Pros: Wifi
Proximity sensor
Failry sleek lookingCons: VERY SLOW
Summary: I'm not understanding how anyone can like this phone. I'm not sure where to begin... It's REALLY slow. The accelerometer is a great feature, but in most cases it takes about 4 seconds to change the screen, which is just long enough to give up and turn it back and then it really gets confused.
Very difficult to use without stylus
Dangling stylus is just plain dumb
Keyboard takes up too much of the screen in texts or internet text fields
Windows Mobile - Need I say more? The options are so small a stylus is crucial. The jog wheel helps, but can't be used in all situations.
Stylus: Hangs from a dongle on the top of the phone with no way to dock it. Just plain stupid.
Texting: adding multiple recipients is painful. You have to drill down to recipient's name by typing it, rather then selecting from list of recently texted. Keyboard covers 98% of message so you can't read what you are typing! Would sometimes get the haptic (sp?) feedback but the key would not register. Extremely frustrating.
Screen scratches easily - I babied mine because I was pretty sure it was going back to the store - but still a few small scratches.
Short battery life - I'm coming from a Sony i810w, which has phenominal battery life, so maybe my expectations are too high. This phone does a lot more, so I understand battery life will be shorter. But without doing a whole lot on this phone in the course of a day, I was needing to charge it every night. I'm not sure if that's bad or just normal for a smart phone.
Generally quirky and buggy. I read many of these same complaints in other reviews, but thought maybe I could live with them. I found I definitely could not.

I was about to return mine, too, until I upgrade the .NET framework. Now, the Incite is my favorite phone/PDA among all those I've owned. As for the battery, I followed the vendor's instructions to fully charge and fully discharge the battery several times before charging it prior to a full discharge. I'm getting enough juice to take me through a day of moderate use without a charge.

Turn off Wi-Fi. It might increase the battery life by several hours at best.
