I just picked up a Logitech V470 BT mouse to replace my annoying Mighty Mouse and WOW is it nice! I highly recommend it to those not satisfied with the MM.

I highly recommend the Logitech MX Revolution. It's pretty awesome.
But anything's better than the MM I guess. That tiny scroll'ball' is downright annoying.

I completely agree. I found that ball more annoying than lifting the left finger to right-click!

It looks cool.. Is it a full-sized mouse, or a "laptop" mouse?

That's a nice looking mouse. May have to get me one of them. Thinking of getting a keyboard and mouse for when I'm working with the MBP at the desk in our computer room. The top of the desk where the laptop rests is really too high to type comfortably.

They make nice mice - I have a Logitech rollerball and cannot imagine myself ever going back to a regular mouse.

Nearly all of the Logitech mice are extremely nice!

The only way I'll change my MM for another is if I find one with a 360º scroll wheel... I haven't seen one yet. Mind you I haven't looked very hard...

Way... way too many specs to list.
You'll find that the batteries last a LONG time too :)

Over a month and mine are still way over about 75%

I picked up a V450 which is similar in size and it's a Laser like your 470. Only difference is it has a very tiny USB receiver. Works great on both the Mac and PC but I wish I would have run into that V470. I love the Blue color.

I got the white model to match my MB. They had the blue model there, as well, and it looked really cool, too.

That is the mouse I was going to buy but the V470 was right next to it and with the V470 I wouldn't have to deal with the USB dongle. So the choice was easy.
