If you are a media geek, this phone is a great value for a verizon customer. It has all the features verizon has, v cast, mp3 player etc, but at a good price. Also, its a solid phone, able to take a bump or two (razor and Krazors are not the greatest at that).  But, one thing that annoys the heck out of me are the worthless side buttons.  the left toggle button on my last 3 phones change ringtone from loud, soft, vibrate or silent, without having to go to the menu. This phone I have to go to the menu if I want to turn the ringer back on, and there is no option to change the sidebuttons, only the ones on the keypad. Also, the menus are not my favorite. It took me a couple of days to get use to pushing the CLR button to back out of menus. And they have so many menus, finding the feature i want to change is a bit of a pain.  Finally, this camera does not have a zoom feature for the still camera, although the video part does.  But, all in all, its decent.  Why waste money on anything else, unless you want to get the TV phone and pay for that service, which is I believe $25 a month, V cast/net on this phone and other vcast phone is $15.  Check this out, not bad.
