In fairness, the App Catalog is still clearly marked Beta. And what someone pointed out in another thread- if supposedly the phone no longer connected to Sprint or to Wifi, how did Mossberg get online to restore the backup that he mentions in the next line? I'm not saying I don't believe him, it just was a little strange. But yeah, I'd hope for more stability even in a beta, but as I'm one to test out alphas and earlier of things, it doesn't bother me.

Eh, I'd rather have autocorrect not exist at all, myself. I can't tell you how many times on my Treo it turned "well" to "we'll" or "IM me" to "I'm me."
The biggest negatives for me remain battery life, small app store at launch, and only 8GB of flash, things I expected all along. None of those will stop me from getting it though.
