A 800X480 3.8 inch screen won't be anyones top ten smartphones list if it is not Apple. I really dislike the physical appearance also but I guess it differs from person to person.

For the price performance will be superb of course. You can't get a krait at that price anywhere else. I am considering one for my mother. 

Yeah on strict technical terms it isn't very impressive. However if you look at how everything comes together and at what price, I do think its amazing. Engadget was praising the design as much as they were talking about the price. They were also saying how Windows Phone 8 makes much more sense on lower end devices like this than higher end ones lol...

Ill probably get this for my dad for his birthday if they get them to Canada for cheap. Finally get thim to let go of his Palm Treo 750 lol.

I agree with  that, given the power efficiency of WP8. I'd never consider a low end Android device over this, even though I like the software much more.  The requirement of Snapdragon S4 minimum is good for the customer. 

It is the perfect device for the elderly indeed :).
