Anyone have an i7 chip yet? If so, tell me how you like it

Trying to scrape together a plan for saving a few hundred dollars for an i7 chip/&MB late in the year or next year. If you have one in your system, what has been your experience with it so far?

Innuendo:
They are very tempting, but my advice is to wait. Just around the corner is i5, which is the consumer mainstream version of i7, and there's going to be changes in the Nehalam landscape. Motherboards will be cheaper and the socket pinout is going to be different. Everything is supposed to be cheaper as well.

My advice is keep saving and wait to see what i5 brings us. That's what I'm doing.

zridling:
Thanks, I will!

Ehtyar:
+1 on waiting. I'm glad this question is here though (thanks Zaine), I look forward to seeing other responses.

Ehtyar.

I like it alot really.. I only have a 920 d0, but it performs rather well even before overclocking.
 After, well... :)

I5 would be the smaller brother then? As in, it is for i7 what celeron was for pentium.
