Review update: I have now a full month of usage, and:
GPS is exceptional still, works very very fast and accurate. It works fine without an external gps antenna even indoors.
It has that 1 sec delay after accepting an incoming call, like on the old A701, but is not so annoying.
Menu and application working speed is very good, so the processor speed is enough, even after installing extra software.
Wi-fi usage poses no problem. it connects on it's own to existing networks after about 30 seconds.
Picture clarity is good, but the colors in auto mode are quite dark, so you have to keep it in Cloudy mode.
Battery life is good, 3 days average. It held 4 days once. Battery life when used as gps device is up to 5 hours, so pretty good.

And another minus is that the audio jack is 2,5 mm, so the standard 3,5mm isn't usefull.

I got the A702 recently and it's a fantastic phone. I was a little bit stressed because it's a new model and there are very few user reviews available.
First of all, it's way better then the former A701: has wi-fi, no more screen day visibility problems (it has brightness adjustable screen and the package comes with a anti-reflexive screen plastic cover), and there is no delay in recieving calls.
Package is very generous: black leather case, sylus, car charger, wind-screen mount, house charger with europe and us socket adapters, software cd (2)usb cable and hands-free.
The camera is good (ISO goes up to 400) and I really like the fact that it can print the gps coordinates on each photo you take. You also can send SMS with your present coordinates.
GPS works perfect, very fast and acurate. I installed IGo on it (taking only 200 MB from the 1GB internal memory). Very good satellite signal even indoor (I don't think I'll have to buy any external antenna).
!!!Windows run very fast, no delay at all, so all those who wore worried about it having only 200MHz can rest at ease. Of course, I haven't yet installed many additional programs.
The screen is the best part: even if it's not VGA, it looks great and it turns at any side of the phone at the touch of a button. It's also very bright (adjustable). The media player software is very good: it plays anything (any format, any resolution) on full-screen and it looks great. The touch screen is resonably sensitive and you rarely need to use the buttons. Actually, the numeric buttons are quite useless I think.
The speaker is decently loud, you can set an mp3 as the ringer by using the provided software.
Battery life is very very good: I think an average of 3 days. It has a smart energy save program which teaches you how to improve the battery life (kill the sounds, dim the screen bla bla bla)
It also reads hand-writing pretty acurately.
It has vibration and decent torch light option.
There are lots of slots and buttons going around the phone (usb, gsm antenna slot, gps antenna slot, trans-flash card slot, camera button, gps button, ear plugs jack and a smart jog dial for easy scrolling).
A few minuses: - when using speed dial you have to press 3 buttons in stead of just 1 (as normal)
- the on-screen keyboard and generally the on-screen buttons can only be pressed with the provided stylus (too small for fingers)
- wi-fi works, but connecting to the internet via wi-fi(with Internet Explorer) is difficult to configure and the user manual is of no help. I'm still working on it.

I have this phone.. it's very good, installed Tom Tom and works perfectly. Only issue is T9 for texting on Windows Mobile 6 not easy to use with one hand. Nice size and weight and comes with car holder which is very handy!

The phone arrived in stores in Romania and the price dropped so far to 460 euro, which is a great price for the value
