I've had this phone and Nextel a couple weeks. (Nextel is the ONLY cell phone provider that works in my apartment complex) I like the features and all. The camera works as well as any other cell phone camera. My only problem is it takes forever to get to the text feature (and I'm a big text messenger.) With Sprint I was able to bypass getting online to send a text. But unlike Sprint, Nextel does not charge cost for phones either. So far Im pleased, luckily I have my Sidekick for texting.
