I just purchased this phone when I switched from MetroPCS to Cingular's family share plan. This is the only phone that caught my attention besides the Semiens s66 or whatever. I hate flip phones personally and it seems that everyone in america has one. I saw this phone online and immediately wanted one. When I saw it in person it was a lot smaller than I expected it to be, but still a faily nice size. I love the liquid black color and the clear buttons. It looks a lot better them my Nokia 3586 and feels like its built a little better. The menus are done very well and the screen is bright and colorful. The sound on this phone is also very good and the included ringtones do not sound like something from a 1980's arcade game. The main reason I bought this phone was for the bluetooth technology that works in my Acura TL.My only two complaints are the poor graphic quality of the camera phone and the sometimes hard to use joystick. I didn't buy this phone for the camera, but it is a pretty cool feature nontheless. I took snapshots of things around me, and found that the graphic quality is at most average. You can take a picture of someone (wife, girlfriend etc.) and put them in your address book, so everytime they call, their picture will come up. I tried that, and was not very impressed with the picture quality. Also when that person calls, the picture you have stored for that person has the top of it cut off. I guess its good for face shots only, but not full body shots. Also the small joystick in the middle of the phone can be very hard to use and frustrating. You have to be very deliberate in moving it around and pressing it down or you will end up doing something in the phone that you did not want to do. If you want to press "enter", you have to really press down on the joystick or the cursor will move up or down instead. This is very apparant when playing the included mini golf game, many times I have thought I pressed down on the joystick, but it did not register and the power bar kept going up and up. Thankfully you can also use the button next to the joystick to press "enter", but that that can be cumbersome and counterintuitive.Overall its the coolest phone I have had in looks and functionality. I suggest getting a screen protector for it, because it can get scratched very easily.MetroPCS constantly dropped calls, and I was lucky if I got even one bar while sitting at my 2nd floor desk at work and forget about having any signal in an elevator. I have only had Cingular for a few days, but their service is very good in comparison; I usually get full bar strength, and even get 3 bars in an elevator.Cingular is recommended as well as the phone if you hate flip phones and are not to concerned about camera phone picture quality.
