Thanks to the leaked beta rom I've got WinMo 6.1 on this phone now with full SDHC card support and automatic software activation of the GPS. Voice Command works properly with bluetooth headsets and the battery life was even increased. The new rom also leaves the user with almost 20 megs more usable ram as well. It may not be the prettiest device out there, but I'm extremely happy with it now.
The comments I see in all the reviews about the keyboard being less usable because of its size are all a little funny to me though. I've had several HTC devices with full keyboards and am happier with this one as I've found I can type much faster since my thumbs have less travel when finding the next key making it a much more relaxed way to type. I thought the faux leather strips on the top and bottom of the device were goofy until I realized how much they improve the grip on the phone while typing. The phone itself really is more comfortable to hold while typing since you have the full width of the device on each end to grab.
I do miss the crazy amount of use support and customization that can be had with HTC devices and a visit to XDA-Devs, but I'm pretty happy with this beta rom overall and really don't need to be flashing my device evey other day like I did with the Tilt anyway
