I got it today, from expansys.com, and am pleased i got it from there. Not only did I get it earlier than SonyStyle Europe, but its also the US version. Sony usualy like to miss out a lot of programs in the UK/Europe version.
Battery - It took just over 4 hours to do its initial charge. Once that was done I decided to see how many pictures etc I could get out of it, and I wanted to discharge it completely and charge it again. I managed to take around 50 pictures with the flash. After it stopped me from using the camera I played about 1 1/2 hours or more music. It seemed to take an age to discharge. So now I am doing its seconed full charge.
I think the battery level meter is deceiving at first. I am used to seeing my NR70V sitting at 100% for a long time then going down very quickly in comparison. Where as using the NZ90 seems to be a very steady decline, much like a laptop. After doing a picture with the flash it did dip a lot, but after leaving it for 5 seconds the level jumped back up.
Music/Sounds - I haven't heard many comments on here about the sound, but I think its good. Its soo much better than the NR70V. The internal speaker is louder, and the quality is much better. My MP3's sounded great on my own Sony Headphones and through the car stereo. Its good that there are now 3 Bass levels and the volume seems to go much louder than before.
As for everything else. I think its great. Its a real solid unit which looks expensive. I like the rubber hotsync bit. I do hate the stylus, but I have a pen/stylus combo i will use. The stylus itself is good, just the location i don't like.
As for the speed and OS its just so fast. And I also like the clie launcher.
Anyway, I just thought I would share my initial thoughts with everyone.
