It's hard to tell if it would be worth purchasing without knowing what you plan on using it for. It is not a replacement for Outlook.
For what it's worth:
I have found that I use it instead of using Word to keep meeting notes, phone conversation notes, etc.
After several days of meetings with clients I can pull together an agenda for a 'wrap-up' session very quickly by using the flags. This has saved me much time with the added advantage that I don't miss an important point that needs to be discussed in the final meeting.
The search capabilities are remarkable. I can find documents whether I typed them or scripted them (I have a tablet).
I second Steve's comments about SP2 and power toys.
