Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Black Diamond built the Oasis Tent for groups of three who want to shave weight on long trips but like the comfort of a double-wall tent. Thanks to SilNylon materials and DAC Featherlite poles, this tent makes the cut for nearly any trip into the backcountry. The Black Diamond Oasis Tent also makes a great pick for extended stays in the Valley (or your own local playground) when you want a little extra space for waiting out the storms. The full-coverage fly ensures you don't feel a drop of water, and mesh walls keep you cool when the temperatures rise."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Black Diamond Oasis is a double-walled three-person, three-season ultralight tent. These tents are a spacious, lightweight, strong and affordable double-wall tent. Choose Mirage for two-person shelter or the larger Oasis to accommodate another friend. These tents are fast and easy to pitch with external clips and a fast-pitch pole hub. For easy living anywhere, the Oasis is free-standing and can stand up to tough weather conditions.Black Diamond Oasis Specs: Capacity (persons): 3 Weight: 6 lb. 2 oz.

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Three-Person Oasis Tent (Fall 2009) The Three-Person Oasis Tent by Black Diamond is the optimal shelter for gram-counting backpackers and climbers. The Oasis has double doors on both the tent and integrated vestibule, providing easy entry/exit and access to all of your gear. It employs fast-pitch hubs and variable-diameter DAC Featherlite poles to ensure a simple, speedy setup and, belying its' feather weight, unrivaled rigidity in high-wind situations. Built with a 360-degree-view mesh upper and a nylon ripstop lower perimeter for privacy, the Oasis has excellent ventilation without feeling too open to the prying eyes of others. For major weight savings the tent can be set up with only the fly and optional ground cloth."

"Voted Top Ultralight 3-Person tent- Backpacker Magazine's Gear of the Year Awards 2009The lightest, strongest double-wall tents Black Diamond makes, the two-person Mirage and three-person Oasis are the optimal shelter for gram-counting backpackers and climbers. The Mirage's integrated vestibule is designed with a unique side angle, thereby keeping gear nearby and accessible but clear of the doorway.

"I'm not sure what this other reviewer is talking about. pPerhaps he got a lemon (?). I have not experienced any of the problems or shortcomings s/he mentions. This is a really great tent and I've owned more than 6 backpacking tents over the last 10 years (and used two others that belonged to friends) and this is MY FAVORITE."

"On initial appearance, this tent looks very nice, 2. 7 kg weight, very roomy for 2, good access, easy to setup up. The 5 pole design is nice and gives for a very tight frame.

Why I've given this tent 1 star, is that the first night I used it in the mountains of Western Australia (not very big about 1000m/3000F), it was turned into a complete bin job."
