Well since the Mods for our forum never seem to be around let's go ahead and make use of this thread...
I really like the Style think it is a great device and many other people would agree with hands on experience take crackberrykevin for example he even praised the Style on a CES smartphones experts podcast just last week. The device is solid could do with out the gloss/fingerprint magnetism. I'm looking forward too a Style 2. 12 megapixel Camera 4G Dual Core processor QNX OS much larger touch screen capable outside display and even a little larger interior display take up all the extra room around the current screen. (Just dreaming)

I love mine... Battery could be better but otherwise very happy... A outside touchscreen would be cool.. And ability to take pics w/flip closed...

I'm a huge fan of this phone and I'm glad I got it.
The battery power isn't the greatest on it but I can usually make it through most of the day without charging it. I find the camera to be in awkward place. I like how you can read emails, txts and other messages without having to open the phone up.
I like the style, and it is a solid device, I really like the external display.
It is really nice to see how they took the failure of the 82xx and re invented it into the style.
I've only had mine since Friday, but coming from the Epic I am quite pleased. It's funny to me to see the battery complaints...With as much going on in the background as on my Epic, I get about 30 hours of life on a single charge of the Style whereas with the Epic my battery would die every 10-12 hours.
I really love this phone. Is sounds great, it works great, it looks great.
I'm not a touchscreen fan in general, but having a touchscreen on the inner screen as a backup to the keyboard would be kind of cool. However, I think that adding touch to the outside screen would be terrible. One of the things I really like about the clamshell form factor is that there's no ****-dialing, pocket-dialing, or purse-dialing, along with other things. I wouldn't want to lose that. So it would have to be locked. But, that wouldn't make sense, because to unlock it, you would have to open the flip, and that would kind of defeat the purpose oof having an outside touchscreen, no?
Folks, don't feel too bad about the activity the Style Forums have, because for the short time the device has been in our hands, this forum is substantially more active than I ever remember the Pearl Flip being. And I can see it growing. Converted 3 members in just this last week. Now to get them in. And active...

The Style is superb, it lives up to it's name for sure. I've had it 2 weeks and still in "settings" mode- lots of intricacies- but its fun for me. Need some accessories though. What few are available are way overpriced. The charger/cradle is really cool, but its over $20!
I agree that the Style is awesome... I made my own sleep holster and screen protectors and I just bought a charging cradle for $12 on Amazon (got the last one at that price, though it shows the price is coming down) I did have to pay $5 for shipping so $17 total isn't that bad considering Palm users shelled out $75 for the Touchstone when it came out (myself included) haha

i love mine.
This past Wednesday, my hard drive crashed. Since then, and until my computer is fixed, this phone IS my computer. Setting up three extra email accounts was ridiculously easy, and web browsing is reasonable. The WiFi option let's me web surf and still get calls. I added an SSH/telnet client for fun a couple weeks ago, and have relied on it for hours. BreezyPrint let's me print stuff I need. The slight angle of the opened screen has been great for long use, and the screen clarity wonderful. The keyboard has been awesomen and the stiffness has worked itself out after 5+ hours of typing. And hey, I discovered that holding down the BB button brings up all open apps so I can switch between them.
I've had to use a phone in place of a computer a couple of times for a few hours and it was a nightmare every single time. My Style has gotten me through DAYS of it with a minimum of pain. My appreciation of this phone has gone up incredibly. I am more grateful than ever that I chose the Style over the EVO.

Like the others on this thread, I really do like this little phone and, the form factor is a big reason why. It's small enough to throw in your pocket without it reminding you it's there every step of the way. It feels nice and solid and pictures really don't do it justice.
Of course like everything, nothing's perfect and it does have some shortcomings. The placement of the camera is #1. This is something you learn to live with though and work around.
Now that more and more apps are becoming available for this phone as well as a Theme Maker for OS6, there's a lot you can do with this phone to make it do just about anything you want.
I love my Style and get some flack from my fellow CrackBerry writers. I keep telling them to not knock it until they try it for themselves.
