The main reason I bought this is that I wanted a qwerty keyboard and the best camera I could get. I didnt need internet or email so that kept me away from the Motorola Q, which was my alternative.So far ive used the phone for one week and it has worked very well. great reception with my LG bluetooth headset, great texting ability, layout is good. once you get used to it you can navigate thru fairly quick. the autofocus camera takes great pics also.Few quick points i wanted to mention that may hinder it for some. when you set the camera to the highest setting (1600x1200) you cannot pic msg those because it says they are too big. you have to move it to the next lower setting if you want to send them. I also am having some trouble with the lens cover on the camera, it has this spin dial that opens and closes it, mine seems to have gotten stuck, so im going to take it to Verizon and see what they say.Otherwise, great phone that I highly recommend! perfect for the person that loves to text but doesnt need a pda style phone.
