I've owned the phone for about 3 weeks now, and I'm pretty happy with it. Granted, I had a 5-year old brick of a phone before. I got the Cherry (red), my friends all love it and I still love to play around with the buttons when I'm bored. Overall, I would recommend this phone if:- You want something small, sleek, stylish (and are willing to sacrifice some minor flaws in order to make your friends envious over your phone)- You are pretty comfortable with fancier phones and you have a medium level of technology knowledge- You aren't a huge fan of flip phones- You are willing to take the time to get used to how to hold the phone, use the touch-sensitive pad, the arrangement of buttons (for example, the "end call" button is located on the side... although you may also hang up a call simply by closing the phone)- You use your phone as more than just a "phone" (camera, mp3s, alarms, etc.)PROS:- Sleek design, nice and fun to use- Screen is crystal clear and has updated menus- Camera nice with sharp quality- Has a speakerphone that works well- Clear reception- Having the slider is nice; it both locks the keypad and acts as a "hang-up" button. It is very satisfying to end a call by sliding the phone shutCONS:- Since I have a Mac computer and the Music Kit & memory card are kind of pricey (you need this to play music unless you plan on spending $1.99 per song downloading through VCast), I can't play music on my phone.- Sometimes when I'm using the touch-sensitive buttons I accidentally call the first friend on my list, once I accidentally sent a text message before I was finished writing it.- Shiny outside can show fingerprints, oil appears on screen after talking (but can easily be wiped off on my pant leg...)- Small keypad number buttons take a while to get used to, are more difficult if you have large fingers (mine are normal sized, I guess)Definitely read many reviews and check out all the features before you buy this phone... do your research! I did, and I'm happy with my purchase :)
