 Not as good as I was told November 7, 2007

I visited a couple of Verizon stores and this is the phone they kept recommending so I bought it. I'm taking it back the first of the week. Here's why. It doesn't have nearly the sound quality of my old vx6100. I keep accidently hitting the clear and the end buttons when trying to use the up/down button. It's hard to flip open and the flip top that rests against my ear has a sharp edge that hurts my ear after a while. Battery life is poor.
On the good side it does have a nice, loud speaker but it 's just not the phone for me.
 Excelent Phone - Crap Software December 7, 2007

This is my first new cell phone in two years, and I must say, for a free phone it totally rocks. The sound quality of this phone was awesome, and I'm using the cheap headphones (buds) that comes with the VCAST music kit. The phone is very nice and easy to use. The display is clear and has great color. I was able to sync this phone up with my laptop via blue tooth very easily. Camera is easy to use, but no flash so can really only do well outside.
On the down side. The VCAST software is not that great. You have to reconect the cable a couple times before it wants to sync up. I also had issues where music from CD's that I copied onto my laptop in the past would not work on the phone. I recopied with the VCAST software and got it to work, so that sucks. In a nutshell a very good phone with loads of options at a very good price point. I would recommend it. Software can always be upgraded and improved on.
I would have given this phone five stars had it not been for the software.
Oh one foot note. You have to get an additional chip, the phone can only hold about five songs before it's full. So get that chip!
No good with a corded headset December 7, 2007

At first I loved this phone. . .until I got in the car and plugged in my trusty Plantronics boom-mic headset. I've used that model headset for years, on 3 different Samsung phones, and it's worked great. But with this phone, the volume was totally inadequate. I could barely hear people. I took it back to Verizon and swapped it for another (great customer service at that branch) but no change. I tried a different headset, too. No help. Maybe this thing would be OK with a bluetooth headset, but I've never liked the idea of a little tiny radio transmitter blasting away by my skull. I liked everything else about the phone; much better than my old Samsung SCH-A950. But it's pretty much useless if you use a corded headset. After 3 weeks of trying, I'm returning it.

I bought this phone about two weeks ago, and I researched quite a bit about the different phones there were out there to buy.
Pros:
-Great reception (although I've never had a problem with Verizon's service)
-it's small an light
-speaker phone quality is pretty good
-i dont use the mp3 player or internet or anything else on the phone, its just a phone to me
Cons;
-after 7-30 seconds you can no longer see the time on the outside of your phone without having to push a button, to me I personally find this very inconvenient.
-the speaker phone button is on the inside of the phone, and is right about where your chin is, so i tend to turn it on when i'm talking.
-in my opinion the phone is just badly designed
Good phone December 20, 2007

I've had the phone for about 3 months. It has excellent reception and voice quality. Battery lasts about 4 days between charges, which is by far better than any other phone I've ever used.
On the down side, the buttons are too close together; it's very easy to accidentally hit the wrong button. And the charger broke in the first 2 weeks; Verizon replaced it for free.
The camera is only mediocre, and I've haven't tried using it for music.
