They are just like a Boeing 737, but more comfortable! :)

The first USAir Airbus I flew was to Las Vegas a couple of years ago. We were sitting there after boarding and I noticed there were no movie screens in the center ceiling. I thought that was strange, flying cross country with no movie. After we started to taxi out, the screens came down from under the overhead bins! They have one about every 3 rows on each side. Cool! They are more quiet and comfortable than the 737's they are replacing. We flew a 321 to Orlando last December, they are about the same size as a 757 (30+ rows).

thanks for the info. anyone also know the seat configuration? 3 and 3 or 2 and 3, or 2 and 2 across? How's the leg room?

It's 3 and 3. The legroom was OK, but I'm only 5'2"! We flew a 737 to Orlando earlier this month, the legroom seemed to be less than the Airbus.

Leg room is okay, typical for coach. The A319 is similar to a 737-300, the A320 is similar to a 737-400, and the A321 is similar to a 757-200 (but a little smaller). Like I said, the Airbuses are very comfortable, and I am sure you'll enjoy your flight!
