The screen is the only thing I don't care for, but it's got a zippy CPU, and 16GB builtin. Oh, the stock OS kinda sucks because they don't have access to the android market, but I put on Vegan Gingerbread and am very happy with that.

I picked one of these up for about that price, but haven't yet flashed the ROM...been super busy at work. But the price is very sweet. The only complaint I have so far is the viewing angle kinda s*cks. You basically have to straight up be tangent to the screen or the diffraction in the screen makes it so everything goes dark. But this also makes it hard for other people to spy on your screen :D
