Sigh... I'm still waiting for Mobicity :(

All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

Mine's still in Portland OR, USA, :( Shipping today via DHL, has to be the slowest parcel ever.

Those tweaks listed on Pre Centre (and elsewhere) really speed it up...well worth trying out. I'm very impressed with the speed of mine, compared to the reviews saying it was quite slow.

I haven't had the touch pad for long enough at 1.5ghz to actually comment on the battery life as such, but as of now the i haven't noticed a significant drop in battery life.

If anyone wants one that has been used for roughly 4 hours let me know. I'm getting rid of it for $450 which includes 16GB TouchPad, Touchstone, AC Adapter, HP Case, 3X Screen Covers.

it can't be that bad

I thought there are a couple of workarounds that can be done like turning the debug logging off and overclocking it which then makes it a bit snappier
