I'm possibly going to pick one of these up tonight, so if anyone has some questions, I'll be setting up a livestream where I can show you all live.
(if that'd interest you guys, that is )

Ok, I've got the phone, so if you guys want me to do a livestream, I'm up for it!

I'm just going to use this thread to document my findings.  Here's a screenshot of ADW EX running.  It's a bit.  Off.  Very smooth though.  Screen is so lovely, feels and looks 10x than the once high end Atrix!

The screen res looks huge!

Hope it can be rooted, I'm already wondering if it's possible to dual boot windows on this, it'd be crazy epic XD

When we're rooted, I'm going to try Virtual Box in Ubuntu

By the way have you tried using other headphones on this, for example ones that are HTC and iPhone compatible, what do they sound like, do they work properly?

I've only got a pair of bog standard sennheiser at the moment, but they're pretty good, not quite as loud as the ZuneHD, but that's a given, still very good!

Well all I've been able to gather is my internet connection is dire.  When I click FFC on the phone, my computer starts trying to load something, but also complains about bandwidth.  So I'll have to try and find a willing partner!

[Rem1x]

Ok it appears it works, on Skype, but I only have a mobile connection at the moment, so it was a bit dodgy.  I'd say yes to FFC in Skype though!

If I can find my camera charger I will do   Got plenty of spare time!

What is the battery performance like on this, will it last a day? I have read somewhere that the Intel processor will throttle itself when not in use (stand by) but when it comes to actually using the device for playing video it will use more power causing the battery to drain quick

Can you if possible from a fully charged battery set a video to play on loop and see how long it takes before it shutdown or starts complaining about low battery? try using a video file that the default video player can play please thanks
