Bottom line is that I do not recommend this phone to anyone. Here are my thoughts, experiences with it.1. Way too slow to boot up.2. Battery life is absolutely, positively terrible. I can't keep it turned on more than 4-5 hours at a time.3. Accessories are very poor quality. More below about this.4. Operation is very non-intuitive. Read other reviews for details. I thought I'd get used to the peculiar menus and buttons. To some degree I have, but really this phone is very poorly designed operations-wise.5. Form factor: the jack for power, usb, and headset is non-standard. My headset went bad within 4 months. My car charger went bad after 5 months. Replacing these with standard equipment is not an option since the jack is specific to this phone and no others.6. Not really useful to me other than the rare times when I want to send a photo and don't care about its quality - such as "Hey, I'm here at the beach and look at the view I have". Verizon's price for sending photos makes this less fun.7. Looks - very cool.8. MP3 player - very good sound quality, although its operation is clumsy. Download tools is very, very buggy and often requires erasing all songs and starting over in order to fix the index.9. Storage to micro-SD is very handy.10. Configurability - I'm pretty displeased at what I'm able to do with configuring tones, downloading videos (or mine, not Verizon-purchased), etc. Do I have a powerful computer in this thing that's been disabled by Verizon?
