I am 14 yrs old and I am about to get the switchback. I already tried out my friends it is so kewl. Full querty keyboard makes txting fast. Comes with AIM software and AOL mail 2!!! I have had 2 oystrs, one got a tiny bit of water on it and broke, that was stupid. Dont listen 2 that stupid lookout guy. R U KIDDING!!!! Virgin mobile service is amazing, no "hidden fees" Stores 500 contacts, great cuz i have a lot of friends, and plays superphonic ringtones(real music tones)not those stupid polyphonic 1s. At the moment it is only 130 bucks, great deal 4 what u get. The only thing that sucks is the ringtone prices, 2.50 a real music tone.:0 God. That really sucks. o yeah, it also has a camera, 2 megapixels which is decent 4 a camera fone, and a flashlight. I think the price will be down 2 100 soon. 2 bad it does not have a camcorder or a mp3 player. OVERALL, SWEET FONE GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
