I flew one yesterday, SLC-LAX. I have the pictures somewhere on my phone, and I'll download those some time this weekend a post a review.

Just a few quick thoughts: the gaspers, while having a cool new swivel apparatus, don't have a lot of travel (i.e. they don't swivel as much as the old style, which allowed for multiple revolutions to dial in the right amount of air you wanted; these turn once or twice and are fully open). The air pressure didn't seem to be as high either, but I didn't really care as it was cold in SLC and I didn't want any cool air blowing on me.

And for all those who have been wondering for the past few months, yes, 5C and 5D might as well have no recline. I didn't sit in them (on purpose; I was in 5A), but they are right up against the coat closet. Again, I'll put up pics later.

The overhead bins are neat, because when they close, they are very out of the way. However, they come down quite a bit when opened, so be careful when other passengers open the bins when you pull up to the gate and are getting out of your seat. I got bopped on the head.

Very new, very clean plane. There was no grime anywhere, and it still smelled new. However, it is not and never will be a 757 replacement.

Perhaps a moderator merge is appropriate.
I think this thread is very different. That is older, has a lot of replies, and talks mostly about speculation of what the cabin would be like, speculatory outcries (it looks like there will be terrible legroom, from the seatmap and pic!), and a comment or two from a Delta rep on FT. This thread would be an appropriate place for those of us who have been on it to post pictures and thoughts.
