from lazarus:
Soy means "I am", but used mainly to define, classify and identify. Other uses: tell the time, form passive sentences. Estoy means "I am", but used to refer to things in a given time and space. Other uses: present continuous.

Soy = I am (something). E.g. I am left-handed. Estoy = I am (doing something). E.g. I am holding something.
