Ok, I have had verizon for less than two years and this is my third phone. It is fairly new so I have no complaints as of yet. The reception is a lot clearer than the last one I had. The fact that it has a camera is even greater. I love taking pictures so this was perfect for me. The picture quality isn't the best, but for a camera phone it is pretty good compared to the others I have seen. The buttons are the phone are larger than some so I don't have trouble hitting the wrong buttons. I haven't had any difficulty with the battery at all, in fact the battery seems to last quite a bit longer than the last two phones I had. I am looking forward to the next 2 years with this phone.
