I knew when I looked at the sheer enormity of this phone on Feb 1st, the day it came out, that this phone was too big. I bought it though, because I had been reading about how great it was going to be for several months. I had the LG 6000 and loved it, it made me a convert from my many years as a devout Motorola disciple. I loved my vx6000, great phone, simple but great. Then I became intrigued by the camera in this phone and the EVDO capability. Well that lasted about a week. VCAST is great if you love watching things on a 2" screen. I personally found it to be a nice gimmick, but with little practical value. The web browser was nice and easy to use, but personally it doesn't really excite me. Now for the phone itself, the camera takes nice pictures, the phone gets good reception. The bad parts, is I believe the phone is feeding itself, because it seems to get bigger everyday. It is just a brick compared to my previous phones (Moto V60, LG VX6000). Take this into consideration when buying, I know that VZW's selection of phones leave something to be desired, but it may be worth waiting it out a little longer, than being anchored down by this phone.P.S. The battery is getting worse daily. I was careful to properly charge and discharge the battery correctly when I first got the phone. It seems like I am running out of battery now almost daily.
