I really enjoy this phone. It's my first "fancy" phone with a camera and bluetooth. I like being able to create my own mp3 ringtones and wallpaper so I can transfer them via bluetooth without needing to buy them from the internet or pay for the downloads by the kilobyte. It has better reception than my friend's Sony-Ericsson also with Cingular. The phone service in this area (Houston) seems to be decent. Also, since the display screen is so large, I recommend getting some screen protectors (like the ones for PDA'a) to keep your phone nice.
