I'm pretty satisfied, so far
0 of 1 found this helpful I purchased one at a Sprint store as an upgrade from my A700. Got a really great promotional price. Liked the phone enough that, when I saw it at an even better price through Sprint.com, I got another (and added a 2nd line).
I needed to charge the standard battery twice a day, but I picked up an extended battery, which helps. Using the bluetooth and multi-media features does eat battery life, so be prepared to recharge.
I do love the size, its light weight, and stylishness. Power Vision is a vast improvement over PCS Vision. (The A700's multimedia player was a joke...too slow and choppy. The A900m is smooth. I can almost stand to watch the 2-inch screen! I don't really recommend watching TV on your small-screen phone, though.)
I found the included stereo headset rather uncomfortable. It would be good to have a choice of something that wasn't in-ear buds, which are painful for me. And the music player (I have only played Sprint Music Store DLs rather than MP3s so far) needs to be a bit louder.
I like that it can connect to my PC directly for file- and data transfer (though not for contact-management; you'd still need special software for that). Software support, in general, is way better than for the A700 (which was problematic from start to end...I looked forward to when I could upgrade from that phone). The A900m is supported by different contact- and content manager packages, in addition to the direct-to-PC option. You can copy MP3s directly to and from the A900m and your PC, though I have yet to try that option.
To cite its most glaring shortcomings, especially in comparison to the Motorola RAZR, I'd have to say the short battery life (which I hear also plagues the RAZR) and the lack of a memory-expansion slot. The A900m has only about 47M of RAM, which is not a lot of capacity for MP3s, but music DLs from the Sprint Music Store seem to be smaller files per music minute.
The A900m comes bundled with a reasonable (if uncomfortable to me) headset and USB data cable, things which cost extra with the RAZR. The price, itself, also was a big difference, as the Sprint store was instant-rebating Blade sales, but the RAZR required a mail-in rebate to come to the same price. And the price difference was even greater on Sprint.com, where the A900m came with a $25 invoice credit...$25 off a bill that anyone with a Blade would by necessity incur. And often, as in this time, price and accessories make a difference on the bottom line. So I have a Blade. And even with its shortcomings, I'm happy with it.

A nice, medium UPS but with no USB power
The headline says it all. It's working very well behind my AV setup.

I knew this was "incomplete"
With both this expansion to TTR: Europe and the 1910 expansion to TTR currently out-of-print, this was a good price to get essentially "everything but the cards" (the wooden depots and the warehouse mats) as spares.
