I've had a play with one the ones we got in the other day, and first impressions are.....
....it's awful :/
This is, I'm afraid to say, most likely the nail in Motorolas coffin.
It's:
-Overpriced
-Menu is incredily un-user friendly
-Underpowered
-Underspecced
Overall, not impressed. Oh, and the keys aren't particularly easy to get on with, the sloped design of the whole phone makes it hard to texts and the keypad is too flat and glossy, your fingers slide right over it.
Serious let down me thinks.
But remember boys and girls, it's ONLY an opinion

Interested to hear you say you feel it is under powered as it using the fastest chip currently used in any Symbian device. When you say you feel it underpowered do you mean it is slow to react in navigation or actually using apps? Also most of the right ups i have seen it claims 30fps video both playback and recording and as i know the chip set supports VGA i am surprised this would of been down graded as that just makes no sense.

It's quick, and I'll give it that, it's very nippy. And the video play back is most certainly between 25 and 30 FPS, but the recording most certainly isn't. I'll take a photo of the video options screen to back this up tommorrow if you like.
As for underpowered, I don't mean the processor (although, to it's credit, it's the fastest smartphone I know of), I mean the overall spec. For a phone thats only free for £50/month you get a shoddy 2MP non-autofocus camera, a tiny LED flash, the loudspeaker and MP3 playback is awful, something I did not expect from Motorola. Plus the design of the buttons really lets it down.
This is the kind of phone that should be far far cheaper for what your paying.
For the same cost you can have an N95, or a K810i, or a P990i etc, etc.
