"Awesome phone in all areas except...."
Pros: Excellent clarity, reception, quick menus, nice camera
Cons: My only 2 gripes: no dedicated speakerphone, no voice talk
Summary: I was very leery about porting over from Verizon after being a customer for so many years but I fell in love with the AT&T version of this phone, as I had just gotten one for my boss the prior week.
The only thing I miss from my E815 is a dedicated speakerphone button which the Verizon version (V9M) has as well as the voice talk, where you can input numbers and the voice tells you what number you pressed as well as announcing what number it is dialing. I do not like leaving my phone open to use a speakerphone and AT&T was wrong when they said you can put the speakerphone on once on a call and then close the clamshell to talk. Nope, that cuts off your call.
Other than that, this is an awesome phone and I am very satisfied so far but it's only been a week. Time will tell.Updated
Not a big deal but it does not go off the opening splash screen on its own, as it does not close off the splash screen either but that existed from Day 1. Now, the only way to get onto the home screen is to hit the "End" button. AT&T said it needs to be exchanged, no questions asked, but they have none in stock so I have to wait. I still love the phone and it has worked very well.Updated
AT&T agreed it was a defect that hadn't seen yet and immediately changed it. So far, working as expected. It's a great phone.

You said you didn't like that it ended your call when you closed the clamshell on a speakerphone call and that the people at AT&T who said you could was wrong. Actually they are correct but you have to go into the menu in the setup and somewhere there is an option to "end call when phone is closed" or something to that affect. You have to set that option to OFF or it will hang up on you. Mine is now off and doesn't hang up when I close it. Several of the V3 series has been this way. It WILL Still hang up the call if your Not on a speakerphone call but this keeps it from doing it when you are, they should re-word it so people understand the option better. Maybe "end call when on speaker if phone is closed" would be a more accurate description.
