I don't know why, but I was thinking of buying a new phone today just because I like the cool looks of some of the newer phones, but after researching for a while, I think I'll stick with this phone. I've had it about 14 months and have never regretted my purchase for even one minute. That's 14 continuous months of great service, great battery life, everything has been perfect. I use the phone for about 2,000 or more minutes a month and signal is awesome, battery life is spectacular...I'd be stupid to take a chance just for a "better looking" phone. This phone is really all I need, so screw it...I'll keep it til it breaks some day! A+++++++
