"Almost Perfect"

by cant_get_enough_tech on March 15, 2008

Pros: Music player quality, camera quality, keypad, vibration feedback, etc.

Cons: the scroll wheel is a litte loose
Summary: I went to read the reviews of this phone and none of the user opinions seemed to say all the things I wanted to know, so now that I bought the phone I am writing my own review.
I had just put some music on it, and the quality is amazing, especially for a cell phone. The sound trumps my iPod (a 2 GB white first-gen nano)! On the phone front, It has very good quality. It seems that it will emphasis high tones on the other end, though, but overall it is great. Also, the camera is decent, but it is bothersome because it only has digital zoom and doesn't zoom in on the highest resolution.
The touchpad and vibration is very handy. The scroll wheel is a little loose, but I had the old chocolate and this phone is much better.
Overall this phone is a solid buy.

I had forgotten this phone was in my pocket and jumped in a swimming pool a couple weeks ago . I left the phone out to dry and everything was working but the battery. I went to the Verizon store near me and got the high-capacity battery. I don't mind the size and now I have twice the battery life (meaning 700 minutes of talk time and 3.5 weeks of standby). Everything is working fine, even the camera and music player (having to read from the card). Still very happy with the phone.
