Well, since I've had a Nook Color for a bit over a week now, I'll post my thoughts on it.
Build quality is great -- it feels very solid and all the materials look and feel high-quality. Well, the volume buttons not so much; they feel a bit cheap, like they're already worn, but they work fine.
The screen is amazing -- clear and vibrant. It's a touchscreen, of course -- capacitive, and is both very responsive and very sensitive. Gathers fingerprints like nobody's business, though, as you can see demonstrated on any similar screen -- iPhone or iPod Touch, for example -- but putting an anti-glare screen protector on made them much less noticeable and didn't cut down on screen responsiveness.
Speed seems to be very good, web browsing works beautifully. Not all apps seem to work properly, though -- not exactly unexpected considering it's not supposed to be running any of the apps I installed in the first place. Emulators seem not to work well, unfortunately, but again, not unexpected. Most stuff seems to work perfectly well, though.
The rooting process was easy as Heck -- just a matter of resetting the Nook to factory settings, installing an update, and then writing a disk image to a MicroSD card and putting it in the Nook. Just as easy as CFW-ing a PSP, if not easier.
Battery life seems good so far, but I haven't recorded an actual time. Charges to full in about three hours.
Overall I'm pretty Dang pleased with it.
