Hey. I looked around forever for a good slider for verizon. I wanted something sleek and cool yet not a chocolate so I wouldn't seem like everyone else. The front face of the phone is shiny and looks new everytime you look at it. I've used it a lot and dropped it alot with no problems and it still looks brand new! I got mine on EBay and it still works great. The mobile TV is at great quality and if you love CBS FOX NBC or MTV or more then you're in luck and can watch TV no matter where you are! You need to buy a memory disk but it's worth it. I highly recommend this phone. Everything about it was made to perfection. Cool menu, easy to use features, mobile tv, take video without length limit, great design and has a bigger screen then a chocolate. Slides a lot better too!
