"Excellent phone!"
Pros: Rubberized feel, clear display, Bluetooth(!)
Cons: VGA camer (instead of megapixel)
Summary: I'd heard a lot about the V551, so when we decided to become full-fledged members of Cingular (instead of quasi-ATT) I was happy to see that phone was still available. I actually purchased that one first, but when this one came out 2 days later, I didn't hesitate to head downtown that evening to pick up the newer 557.
Many people have complained about the V551 battery life, I can't vouch for the longevity of the 557 yet, but so far so good. Its been on day 4 and I still have a decent charge even after normal use.
The ticker feature (Screen3) is pretty cool (the weather channel is nice!)
So far its been a good replacement for my other phone (Nokia 3620)
Well worth the money!
