Wait to July 9th and play with it at your local T-Mo store? (No multi-touch.)

I can tell you the phone is definitely slim and suprisingly light. The chin actually adds a good feel to the device in your hand. I have the Google ION version and it does not have Exchange support though I am using the beta version of DataViz RoadSync and it’s working great so far. Even though I do miss the physical QWERTY, I think the build quality and overall design of the myTouch/Magic is much better than the G1/Dream.

Ahhhh that’s funny, I have the phone right now. It’s an impressive device – much smaller and svelte in person than in pictures. It takes everything that’s great about the G1 (which is pretty much Android), and trims it down to a smaller size. It’s just about the same size as my normal device, the BB 8900.
I personally find the touchscreen keyboard surprisingly easy to type on (although I HAVE TO turn off the word prediction; it’s so annoying!).
If you like the G1, or just android, I say it’s a great device. The camera isn’t all that great (my 8900’s 3.2mp cam beats the socks off of it), but there is a lot to like. Oh, and battery life is SOOOO much better than the G1.
