I have owned a number of phones over the course of the last couple of years. Recently (within the last 3 months) I have tried the Samsung, Chocolate and LG VX8600.PhoneCall quality is much better than what I experienced with the LG. The LG sounded muffled to people on the other end when I was talking with them. Those same people now say that this phone is great. Much crisper. Reception is also better than the LG, which does surprise me.CameraHey it is a camera phone! It does what it is designed to do.MusicThe phone uses a mini-SD card. Works great. No bogging down of the processor as I experienced with the Samsung.TextingI like the iTap better than LG's version. There seem to be more words loaded into the dictionary.BluetoothI am currently using a plantronics 655 Bluetooth headset. Call quality is excellent and much better than the 8600.So far it is a keeper!
