"Great phone definately worth taking a look at"
Pros: Absolutely everything is adjustable in settings, light up scroll wheel
Cons: attracts smudges
Summary: I have been reading a lot of reviews and comments about this phone. Most are of people who havent played around with the phone that much. Everything is adjustable on the phone including sensitivity of the touchpad buttons and sensitivity of the scroll wheel to fit your liking. The phone comes default with an automatic lock when the phone is closed. I happen to love this feature so that it doesnt go off in your pocket but again if this bugs you it can be turned to manual in settings. I have not used the music player on my phone but have in the verizon store. It is very simple and easy to work with now that there is a headphone jack and up to 4gig of memory. They have added a few features that you dont need but that make the phone unique and I happen to love them. When you use the touch pad buttons the phone vibrates (sort of sounds stupid now but a nice feature if your not looking at the phone while pushing the buttons) as well as the scroll light around the wheel that follows the wheel as you turn it. The battery is improved from the last chocolate. I have yet to go through 2 bars of battery in one day. The camera has also been improved and takes very crisp pictures even though it is still only 1.3 mp. Call quality is great and they now have added a dedicated speakerphone button with a larger speaker so there is no or not as much distortion.
All in all this is an amazing phone for the average user and definately worth the look. I gave it a 9 simply because of the smudges and they didn't have a 9.5 available. For those poeple who are writing reviews complaining about scroll wheel speed and touchpad buttons not working well then just go into settings and change sensitivity.
