First impressions
Very good design and workmanship. Easily held and operated with one hand. Quickly finds you where you are, by GPS, without WiFi or 3G. Very good screen with wonderful contrast and brightness on the display. Good coverage of GSM/3G signal, excellent quality microphone and speaker for calls. Speaker on the phone is good and pulls great sound, but the station has much better sound.
Screen
Wonderful screen with great viewing angles. When outdoors, even if it does not include outdoor screen mode still very visible on max brightness but if is it on less than 45-50% you should to turn on outdoor mode to see all.
Performance
You can play all games without lag with enabled power saving mode on maximum. All games starting without problems, but most of apps closing when I put the phone into the station. The camera is wonderful with many of options, also the front camera is good. The WiFi signal is strong. Doesn't have any lag in Android menus. Here are benchmark tests, and camera pictures:
