mvvmcross

I am considering using the MvvmCross framework for a cross platform mobile application that will target Android, iPhone and WP7. Does anyone have any experience with this framework they would like to share, and are they aware of any constraints or limitations that it would be useful to be aware of?

For example, am I still able to use native page transitions of my choosing? Are there any performance or storage (app size) implications?
