this is the best phone on the market. i initially started my service w/ the motorola t722i and the phone sucked just terrible so bad that yes i paid for the samsung e715 but it was well worth the money. very easy to use and the phone just does so much. it offers very many customizeable options and the camera is outstanding for a cell phone. the flash isn't all that great but the digital zoom and other options are more than enough. plenty of cool features like sending picture messages w/ voice recording and the picture caller id is pretty cool. the polyphonic ringtones sound awesome as well. the t722i was terrible w/ the plug in camera that was hard to use. i get many compliments on this phone definitely recommend it.
