It's here!
Didn't even expect it, as my delivery status yesterday said "in production".
They really should redesign their status messages on their website (which btw doesn't work at all with Mac/Safari).

First impressions:

It's a bit "plasticky".
Design-wise certainly no iPad2 or PlayBook.
It's about the same "touch and feel" as Samsung Galaxy Tab 7".
Well built, nice enough. But no "eyecatcher".

And again:
Country + language.
I'm in Germany. But I don't want to have German, I want to have English.
Why is this so complicated?
I hate this. Had this on Xoom and other units as well.

And again:
Like most units, it wants to go online while still setting it up.
But I have to check the MAC-address before that.
(Because of performance issues, I'm using MAC-filters instead of other security options).
Is this so uncommon?
I can't even setup the unit without going online.
I can't go online without seeing the MAC-address. I hate this.
So I'm using my MiFi instead of WLAN. WTF...

So far I have to say: Totally idiotic!
For now: No match at all for BlackBerry PlayBook!
