Congratulations on buying this awesome piece of gadgetry. How much did you get it for? And what guy is this? Where is he based and how does he operate?
Are you going to use GPRS with it? If so, could you kindly give us some details as to its reception quality and speeds on EDGE. Also try and connect it to a Wi-Fi network and check its connectivity, reception, VOIP quality, and battery consumption.
I am currently in a big dilemma. I am in the US now and the mobile phone markets are very tightly closed. They extract every nickel and dime out of the customers. Most handsets are tied to down service providers who suck the blood out of us at all times!
If I go in for Motorola Droid, I have the options of either getting it on contract for two years for $199, on top of that I will have to compulsorily buy an unlimited data plan for $30/month. Or I could buy it for $550 online and still have to pay $30/month for the data plan.
If I buy the Nokia N900, then T-Mobile is the only compatible 3G service provider and apart from the phone retailing for about $550 on Amazon, I will have to buy a $60/month plan for unlimited web. Sucky sucky sucky US.
Sorry for going off topic with that rant.

I played extensively with the Motorola Droid over this past week. My cousin upgraded from his older Samsung Glyde, and got the Droid. So I had a good go at it.
The capacitive touchscreen is indeed awesome on the Droid. I would still rate it one rung below the iPod Touch screen responsiveness, albeit a very very closely spaced low rung. Scrolling in the menu was smooth without hiccups, scrolling web pages is a pure delight as that is where the multitouch on the Droid comes into action. I loved the Google Goggles application, it searched for anything and everything I pointed the camera at.
Now with exposure to Android, I am leaning towards it as compared to Maemo which still needs to be refined quite a bit.
