Arrow Some questions, and request for your opinions

Hey Guys, my wife and I are due for our upgrades in the next month or so and this phone looks like a top contender for a bunch of reasons (cost, specs*, size etc.), but everything I keep reading on the web seems contradictory so I wanted to get the opinions of actual owners, and the real specs from you also.

1. Is there or isn't there Gorilla Glass? Has anyone scratched the screen yet?
2. Is onboard memory 16GB or not?
3. Has anyone found any decent accessories yet (i.e. car dock)?
4. For those of you coming from the Vibrant/GalaxyS 4g, could you upload photos of them side-by-each and give your impressions of what's better/worse?

Thank you!

1. No way to confirm really. Have not scratched it.
2. Android reports 768MB System Storage, 1.4GB USB Storage, and it comes with a 4GB SD Card
3. Have not found or looked for any accessories yet.
4. Didn't come from a Vibrant/GS

So I'd say the question of onboard memory is answered, thanks guys.

1. I don't know if its Gorilla Glass, but it looks like the same type of material that was used on my Samsung Vibrant.
2. As the other person said, its not 16GB. It has 1.2 GB internal memory, 1.4 GB internal card memory, and comes with a 4 GB external sd card. This kinda sucks because you can't move apps to the external card
3. I bought a dock for it to sit on at home. I'm sure there should be accessories available.
4. as far as the size, its a little bit shorter than the Galaxy S 1, about the same width, and slightly thicker. The back material is different. Its not glossy. It feels slightly heavier. You really don't notice much of a difference while holding it. The built in flash and front facing (along with rear facing) cameras was a plus.

What dock did you get? Do you have a link? Will any other phone dock work on the blaze?

That seems to be alright, but I don't know if I want to buy it. I'm thinking I might prefer something like this, for my home stereo:
