Mine (Slim) is working fine so far. Haven't been looking for general reports though.
Plus I really like how the Slim looks compared to the Fatty. The Fatty looks like a video game console that happens to play Blu-Ray movies. The slim looks a Blu-ray player that happens to play video games. Take your pick.
The PS3 slim features an upgradeable 120GB hard drive and is 33% smaller, 36% lighter, and consumes 34% less power than previous models. The cooling system has been redesigned and Cell processor has moved to a 45nm manufacturing process.
The PS3 slim also includes support for CEC(more commonly referred to by its manufacturer brandings of BraviaSync, VIERA Link, EasyLink and others) which allows control of the console over HDMI. The PS3 slim also runs quieter and cooler than previous models due to its 45 nm Cell.
Sold.

Looking at that picture of the slim arises the question: "Where the fuck are the USB slots?"

I think that's one in the bottom right... I believe the Slim has no card reader?
That looks like an SD slot, not a USB port.
USB port = the only way to recharge your controller.
