As promised. some first thoughts and experiences
Cover display:
If an alarm goes off you cannot snooze or stop it from the cover display
If you open the cosmo when the alarm goes off, it asks you for your PIN first to unlock the phone, then it pops to the home-screen, and the
alarm is still ringing in the background.
=> It's uneasy to stop / snooze an alarm if the device is closed.
If the device is open when the alarm goes off, you can stop / snooze it normally on the internal display.
See:

as an example for the lock screen and the alarm blazing in the background.
The cover-display is laggy, entering a PIN to unlock the phone is a gruesome experience, as its animations are always 500ms to late.
Other oddities:
If you turn on the keyboard backlight the devices shows the "charging" icon.
Uneven lighting of keyboard and cover-display LEDs.
The device is full of google-software. The searchbar on the homescreen can not be removed.
When using the main screen, the device suddenly locks sometimes, and you need to enter your pin again.
Look an feel / Keyboard
The device feels really solid and typing on a real clicky keyboard again is a good thing. When using it in both hands, i can thumb-type on the keyboard, my girlfriend cannot.
Typing-speed.net results: Cosmo: 164 strokes/minute, Notebook: 244 strokes/minute, whilst cosmo was thumb-typing and notebook freestyle.
Music:
This device can really get loud. Listening to music on the inbuilt stereo speakers is possible, but the audio quality is meh. Just use high quality headphones. Always.
Cover Display can show the current played track when using a player like VLC, this is cool! Playback controls do also work, but are laggy.
Camera:
I took some shots with the Camera, as well as with the Cameras of an iPhone SE and an Olympus E500 see here:

Telephony:
Works, call quality is quite good. You can dial from the cover display and pickup calls. Nevertheless, the laggy display is unusable for dialling numbers, or selecting a contact from your address-book, especially if you have ~200 contacts in it. The order of the contacts is by first name, even if you change the order of the contacts in the Contacts-App.
