I have been playing with Communication Sites on my dev tenant and I am impressed with the ease of use and the overall slickness.
A lot of good info came out of the AMA yesterday and I pulled together some of this into a collection if anyone is interested.

I see some design issues when logged in with another user (eg. not the user, who created the Communication site). It is some left position issues and top-navigation issues:
Does anyone experience the same issues?

Deleted I have seen this in my tests too. Could be that that person might not be on first release?

Correct - I have just tested this, and that seems like the reason by. I have just changed my First Release Select Users to verify this in another tenant as well.
- Warwick WardBronze Contributortell us more John, keen to hear a non-marketing view on the experience
- John WynneSilver ContributorI'll be sharing more Warwick! Have you had the chance to explore them yet? I'm quietly impressed :-)
- Warwick WardBronze ContributorJust checked again after witching to Select First Release and can now create comms sites!
- Andrew SilcockSteel ContributorHi John,
What was your process to create a communication site? would love to see if they're available on my tenant.- Terry HaganIron Contributor
Just created a communication site in one of our tenants. Looks good I have to say.
One thing though, where as an Admin can I see the site? It's not in the SharePoint Admin Center, I can't see it in the Office Admin center looking at sites or groups (though the documentation says it isn't a group so that's expected).
- Warwick WardBronze ContributorPowershell only for now, all sites classic, modern and comms will show in the new SP admin centre coming soon... ish....
- John WynneSilver ContributorJust click on Create Site on SharePoint Home and go!

Unfortunately we have this button disabled on our tenant. Would love to know if it's possible to create a communication site without this button.
You can follow this page for information on creating a communication site:
A good thing to note from this page:
- When you create a communication site, an Office 365 group is not created. However, in order to create a communication site, you must have permission to create Office 365 Groups in Outlook.
