  I have it since beginning and love it! I would have rated it a 8.5 but had to round it up since there are no dot scores.

  Best phone I ever got and I never regretted buying into the WP7 ecosystem. I like the physical "Start" Button and love the AMOLED Screen - it shines if you choose the black theme of WP7.

  I'm having the device for half year and I'm quite satisfied, it's best first gen WP7 device IMO.

  Screen is great, build is solid, metal construction adds premium feel, when screen is off it's hard to differ screen from bezel making entire front surface uniformly black. Only reception problem I had was in an elevator.

  WP7 is snappy, well designed and beautiful on Super AMOLED screen. Updates were quite regular, no significant delays or problems updating.

  Overall, great WP7 device.

  A very solid first-gen Windows Phone 7 device. From when I first got it until now, I have loved it in every aspect, except for it's limited app store. Despite that flaw, with Windows Phone 7.5's smart native integration with Facebook/Twitter and gorgeous UI, it will be hard for me to move to another platform. The Omnia 7 itself stood out to me for it's aluminium back, brilliant 4" Super AMOLED display and simplistic overall design, which goes quite well with WP7's minimalist approach. On the downside, the phone is sometimes a bit slippery, and some awkward button placements make for occasional unwanted presses.

  I will probably make the jump to once ICS comes to the Samsung Galaxy Note (unless a tablet device comes out soon with better drawing capabilities. RIP Microsoft Courier). Either that, or unless Microsoft does something amazing soon.
