Well, I just got my 8600. Here are (at least) my details:

Pros:

Small, very light, decent, but small color screen. I like the phonebook nav
better than my 9500. Battery life is MUCH better on the 8600, but this is
to be expected.

Cons:

Lower volume than the 9500 on both speaker and normal use. I suppose this
is also to be expected. I do miss the large screen. Neither phone has a
lot of aftermarket accessory support. The 8600 isn't really supported by
Express Network yet -- yes, it works, but the default apps don't recognize
it without some work.
