Now for first impressions -- the UI is a nightmare. It's worse than the tablets. The first thing I did was to replace the apps in the dock. I removed - Phone, Messaging, Email, and Silk Browser. I replaced them with - TuneIn Radio, Slacker, Prime Music, and Pandora.
After that, I downloaded a bunch of apps and shoved 'em into folders. Then I moved the app dock to the top to eliminate the carousel. Now when I turn the phone on, it opens to app folders.
...more later

Inquiring minds want to know... how?
I wouldn't mind the carousel if I could turn of the preview area below it. Preview is just a waste of screen space.
