"Not Too Shabby" on by apes49
Pros: slim, bluetooth, removeable memory, mp3 player, good reception
Cons: speaker is weak, no voice dial, verizon menus
Summary: Since this is newer phone, and there are only a couple reviews so far, I thought I would add my two cents. It's kindof random, but its stuff I would've found useful to know.
The Good
+ You can program all 4 shortcut keys.
+ You can start/stop the mp3 player by pressing and holding the play button on the front of the phone.
+ Decent ring tone selection (considering it is from Verizon - there are 25 which is good for them, and they don't all suck).
+ Dedicated speakerphone button. The speakerphone works pretty well, people can't tell when I put it on.
+ Nice key pad, easy to dial, although the circle toggle button (left right up down) is kindof small.
+ You can hold down the # key to set the phone to vibrate.
The Bad
-The speaker isn't the best for playing music, it's fine for speaker phone, but I wish the range went a little louder for music.
-If you are listening to music, then get a call, it doens't go back to playing music after you hang up.
-The music essentials kit wasn't out in the stores yet (but it is online I think).
- The pads that keep the flip phone from slamming shut, you know the little rubber things, they are on the top of the phone by your ear, which kindof bugs. I don't know why they aren't on the bottom like every other phone.
- You can't use your own music (or recordings , which I don't think you can do anyway) for ring tones or alerts.
- No games, sucky menus, and display themes, red bar blazed across the screen, you know, in case you forgot it was a Verizon phone.
Overall, I think it is a good value phone. I like the call quality, the size and design are nice, and it has the features (blue tooth, removeable memory and mp3 player) that I was looking for.

Hi there - very good review - I have learned a lot of useful information, but have a question: you kinda mentioned about not been able to use our own music for ringtone, but I can you move music from your PC to this phone and play it like in mp3 player or downloading music from Verizon is the only option?<br><br>Thank you.
