LG EnV Touch (Verizon Wireless)

Pros: Solid build, Simple user interface, strong call quality, large external/internal displays, VERY LOUD alarm (if preferred)

Cons: Battery life?

Summary: For all the newbs out there, here's the score ~

This is NOT a smartphone. Don't expect too much out of it if you previously had a Blackberry, Palm, etc. Although it doesn't have a Windows based OS, you can VIEW documents in .pdf, PPT, Excel & Word (not alter, just READ). Despite some comments I've read on other sites, you CAN EASILY use this phone as a USB mass storage device. Put the micro sd card in phone. The first step is format the sd card, do that under Settings & Tools, scroll down to Memory, select Card, click "Format" on the bottom. This will create separate folders for your music, pix, flix, documents, etc. Now plug USB cord into both phone & PC. Go into the phone's Settings & Tools. Click "Tools", scroll down, click "USB Mass Storage". Your PC will then recognize a new external storage device. Too simple, huh? Now open the folder on your PC and start clicking & dragging to your heart's content. Even your DRM-free iTunes.
Note: prior to putting videos on your phone, you might consider compressing them, depending on the GB size of your sd card. ***It doesn't play FLASH (flv), but wmv, 3Gp, 3G2 videos are fine.

I've had this thing a week & it continues to impress!
