The construction seems fine to me; while it is a little plastic feeling, it isn't bad. Battery life seems worse than the iPhone.

When you say batter life could be improved, is it bad as the iPhone? The VPN and Jabber support are deal killers for me. Though I don't have VPN on my Blackberry, I really could use it and jabber I have via BeeJive, so that is am must. Both "killers" I guess could easily be addressed with software. Did you find the build quality of the phone to be acceptable? I found it a little plasticy for my taste, but that may just be my iPhone/8830 comparision. Scott,
