I recently purchased this phone, because the camera on my Flasher was low-resolution and I think the 1.3 Megapixel camera on this one will be better, and because of several other things listed in the specifications and the manual (I have not opened it yet because I might splurge on the Wild Card instead and may need to return it. But I have spent a lot of time researching it and can share that), like:-Has 500 contacts available according to Amazon's product page-Again per product page "the phone's PC Sync capability means that you can connect the phone to a computer with a cable and synchronize calendar and contact information" (synchronization is not mentioned in the online pdf user manual from VM though, and the "optional data cable" is mentioned only on the diagram on page 3, item 14 of the user manual and I have not been able to find this mythical cable anywhere) -- this is vital for me as I have 200 contacts with multiple phones/addresses/URLs/notes -- can anyone confirm this? Has anyone done it? I was unable to find a data cable anywhere, nor info on this process.-1.3 Megapixel camera with flash and (Amazon page says 5x digital zoom)-3.5 hours talk, 7 days standby-Dual display-speaker phone-This phone is currently fifty dollars from Amazon's sister company Target (which recently had it for thirty-eight), and the service provider themselves has it for fifty as of January thirtieth; so it pays to always check the three.-Internal Antennae (although some reviewers have had problems with this)-txt messaging, picture messaging-real music ringtones-can lock it, on power-up/now/never (p.41 of pdf manual)-mobile IM, email, VAM Audio messaging (dunno what that last is;-) although you have to pay by day or month for web access-size is about the same as my Flasher (3.54" x 1.81" x 0.92")-When I held it in the store, it seemed well-made and less "toy"-like than some;-) I like the way it looks! Wish I could tell whether the user interface looks goofy like my Flasher's does-User's manual on page V gives specs for an extended-life battery(!)-Manual has a menu breakdown, very helpful(p.7)-Manual has settings menu breakdown, p.36-Contacts list better than Flasher; manual says each contact can have up to 6 numbers, 2 emails, 2 street addresses, 2 web addresses, and 1 note (my MTV slider had this and my Flasher didn't so it's good to know!)p.19-It *does* let you add another recipient once you have started a text message, which my old phone did and my Flasher does not-Camera goes up to 1280 x 1024 (p.46)
