    Pros: Screen Size, Brilliance & Resolution Rock
    Battery Life is Fantastic (3 days)
    Slim and Light design fits comfortably in front jeans pocket
    Great reception/call quality

    Cons: SPen is a little small and the button is hard to see/feel
    Awkward to use one-handed - but better than being too small/cramped.
    Back panel is a little slippery
    External speaker could be louder
    Volume and Power buttons should not be opposing each other

    Summary: Originally I was a bit concerned that the phone might be too big - but now that I've had it for a couple of months I couldn't be happier. I don't think I'll ever be able to go with a smaller phone again! The size has not been an issue - and given that I spend most of my time using it for things other than phone calls - it is great having the large screen. If you are so concerned that it looks big when you are talking on it - use a bluetooth headset.
    Certain widgets (weather for example) can eat up the battery, but if you turn off the constant syncing in the background, the battery life is fantastic. Much better than my Droid 2 Global.
    The big screen makes it easy to use the onscreen keyboard - I don't really miss the slide out keyboard on my Droid.
    I read a lot of reviews that comment about the "flimsy" back panel that covers the battery. Really? What's the big deal? When in place (99.99% of the time) it feels rock solid. Yes, when you remove it, it can flex. So what? Put it back on and be thankful that it is transparent to radio waves and won't affect your reception like a metal back might.
    The extra screen real estate - and the brightness and sharpness of the screen (1280x800 is desktop computer screen resolution!) make it fantastic when using it as an E-Reader or as your SatNav device.
    Pictures and video taken come out extremely sharp. Can touch the screen to focus on that point - or pinch to zoom in before taking the picture.
