Almost identical size to the RAZR, but the front flip goes down further so it doesn't have that big thing sticking out below the keypad. Ugly chrome rim around the outside flip. Gloss black outside like the chocolate. I don't like the keypad, it's flat like the razr. Someone needs to make a flat phone with a raised keypad.
It doesn't open as far as a razr, so the mouth piece is at a better angle. Overall good looking phone, but without the chrome and a better looking keypad it would be a lot nicer.
I only have a display model right now, so no UI or reception comments yet...

Cool. Thanks for the update! I still think im gonna get the 9900--I feel like it has a little more functionality and email features.

I actually love the chrome on it. It makes it look more appealing to me. The keypad feels very solid too. I used a live model at my local verizon store today. This phone is almost exactly the same size and thinness as the razr. However, when you open it, it is a little larger than the razr, with a larger 262k internal screen! I love it. Very sexy phone. 😎

Ok, so I have a real one now. Reception is great. 4 bars of 1x and 3 of evdo, my 8300 is only getting one ev. Speaker phone is ok, but much better on the 8300, same goes for music playback.
The UI have the original vzw but with different, better looking bars. There's something very similar to the 8300's silver spin. And a third option that scrolls up and down.

Yea, I still prefer the 8300. But the 8600 will definitely be a popular phone.

Awesome to hear this, I am incredibly excited for this phone.
If you could, some pictures of the new interface/themes would be AWESOME.
