Overhead room is very limited such that even bags which fit under the seat on mainline aircraft often won't fit. I think the dimensions are about 16" deep and 8" high. Rollaboards are totally out of the question and you get to line up on the jetway to wait for plane side delivery with what seems like the entire plane.

I made the exit row mistake one time thinking the legroom would be nice. While I wasn't disappointed in the legroom, the seat itself was nearly unbearable. Thankfully, the longest hop that I make in this aircraft is about 80 minutes (of flight time). I truly hope that the rumors of a small FC cabin are true.
