"I want this Phone"
4.0 starson by Joey301Pros: Built in FM radio
Cons: Maybe bulky
Summary: I have been reading a lot about this phone, even called Verizon about it, but I have not been able to see it yet. It is like lurking. I want a radio with my phone, it is the one thing I really miss with my iPod. I have found that I like NPR as much as my music. In the middle of my Verizon contract, the phone is too expensive right now. I wish more manufacturers would add a built in phone. I added one to my Motorola V710 as an attachement from Motorola, but it is kind of bulky, does not attach securily and involved too many wires, I think the same about the iFM for the iPod.

I went to Radio Shack today. THey had it for $249 without a new account. In response to my original post, it is not too bulky. I had read that on another forum, but, it is no certainly no larger than my V710. The quality felt fine to me. How long before the price comes down, or there is a newer model with FM ??

i have one of these phones and i kinda hate it now, if you want it you can have it, i just kinda need a replacement for it.

Joey, you need a compatible headset for the FM radio i got mine from CompUPlus for $5.95, now there about $6.95, shiping is over price, but you're still paying less than retail, the model number is HDS-3 by Nokia. I haven't got my headset and my old plan expires the 20th, then give me a few weeks of using the phone and I'll throw up a review.

Why are you rating something you have never used, let alone held in your hand?
