very, very small icons and numbers Recently purchased the phone and so far disappointed. The icons, numbers and msg. sizes are very, very small. The front screen seems big but it has a small window for all the info. which makes everything else smaller. Guess what, nowhere to adjust the size, unbelievable. The camera results suppose to have been so great, I'd say avg. like others. The ring tones are basic and very few banners to choose from. Sort of disappointed and am thinking of returning it while I still can. Also you might have a hard time openiing it with one hand because of the multi-directional top cover.

Pic quality I have had this phone for about a week now and have put it through its paces. Features: Camera...very good for a phone camera w/2x optical zoom, but still not worthy of the 2MP rating. One out of 4 repeated pics are keepers. Video...pretty good, but the resolution is less than pics and sound is not in sync so, if your subject is talking, it really makes the video intolerable to watch. The audio is about 1/2 second behind. MP3 player...great! The only con here is the inability to do ANYthing else with the phone while playing MP3s. You can't even pause play to mess with other settings w/o having to go back and reselect the songs you want. The build is sturdy, but not as sleek as it should be(ie...when it is closed it looks like a 2 piece clamshell instead of a "flowing" design). The sound is amazing for such a small device. To listen to it on anything other than the built-in speakers, you will need an adaptor so regular audio cables/headsets can be plugged-in. Battery: with lots of talk time and mp3 playin' it lasts about 2 days on a charge, but if you use the the camera too, expect to get a days worths out of it. One thing I think is really cool is the "flash", which is a light that comes on automatically(or not) for pics and when using the camcorder in low light it stays on, but keep an eye on the battery levels. Reception is average compared to my previous LG phone(rarely a dropped call). It seems to suffer only slightly(1/2 "bar" less than antenna phones) due to the internal antenna. Overall...an excellent value for $100 w/a 2year contract. Even at $150 I would buy it again, any higher$ though, maybe not.

bulky i enjoy everything about this phone!! the camera at first was a little shakey but after fiddling with it a little the pictures are excellent. all the functions on it are good. the sound coming out of the phone is great. i love the phone overall!! the only major problem with it is its size, but it can easily be used to. i think that the phone is great!

Music, Videos, Great Camera. |

Sometimes hard to find service, no V-Cast Music. This is a great phone with many great features. the only bad things are that it is hard to find service in places where I live. Also the no V-Cast music thing is ok if you buy a memory card. Then you can just download the songs from your iTunes to your phone. Everything Else is great! i Highly reccommend this phone!

Icons too small and the phone is bulky I especially like the video clips however they are very short. I do appreciate the fact that they include sound in the video clips. I find this phone hard to put in a pocket or in a small purse, it is bulky yet the icons are too small. I would also like more ring tones, I find thsese limited. Overall I do like the performance of the phone. I think it is one of the top camera phones in the market.
