    I've got one myself (without the keyboard dock) and I love it.
    It's perfect for reading my kindle apps (even in sunlight which was a surprise) and for browsing the net while lazing on the couch.
    Havnt brought it out and about with me as I've not got a good enough case for it yet. Its mainly used at home.
    The screen is great but is prone to light bleed. Not really an issue unless you're watching a lot of dark movies.
    The stock asus keyboard wasnt the best so I invested in the Thumb keyboard which makes typing with it much easier.
    The browser is great but every now and then it just force closes. Its never annoyed me enough to get try out Dolphin HD though.

    All in all its a great device and I dont regret the purchase.

    BUT...
    If I was buying now though I might just hold on and wait for the new Sammy 10 inch as that looks to be better.

    Well mine is identical :-) light bleed at the bottom in two spots and a frame misalignment in top right corner when holding it horizontally you can actually see the back light bulbs lol

    Brightness outside isn't great though. Nothing compared to the flyer which was perfectly visible in direct sunlight. This fades alot and hurts your eyes like on a phone. Had a few fC's as well in browser and email app. Though I find it alot nicer than the xoom . Its larger but lighter, build quality is nice too. Gonna try dolphin HD. but tbh the average consumer shouldn't have to look for an alternative browser. Even as writing this on the full version of boards.ie typing lags. Otherwise its a pretty good Device so far

    but then again the sammy is going to be dearer so is the extra money worth it.

    Had been planning on getting this in the states in Sep given that it was only $400 however I got a free ipad2 recently and now I don't know.
