I agree it's a good start, makes me want to go check out a store and play with one. I can't really get one though since they're not on Verizon.
But things like not having copy/paste are pretty questionable - it's like they're several years back when iPhone came out without copy/paste.
Is that actually surprising though? I think I'd have been more surprised if they got everything right on first release, and in any case it certainly looks like they've made a good start.
