I'm pretty excited about this phone, what will make or break it for me is the keyboard though. If it stands up to the quality of my 9000's keyboard, I'll buy it as soon as I can. Otherwise, I'm sticking with the 9000.
If this means portrait SureType, then I'm totally sold. The last thing it's missing is SurePress, which won't be too bad with a trackpad and full keyboard.

The phones looks nice. A lot better than it did when the 1st couple of pics came out.
but, my main concern is the software. I do like the slider, seeing as it looks like you will be able to use the touchscreen alone, if you want, or use the physical k/b if you want.
But as of now, if BB6 is crap, or just ok, or whatever, that will help in deciding.
Will have to see how much memory it will have, how smoothly it runs, how much memory will be left for Apps, etc... I'm sure the hardware will be nice/polished, but, Hardware alone doesn't make a good phone.
