I love this phone so far. The bluetooth feature is what sold me. I have not figured out how to store the back cover without misplacing it just like i did with the previous bluetooth. I was always losing the old B-tooth in my purse, now I will probably misplace the back!
Overall it is very convenient to pack and carry, plus the B-tooth is right there whenever I need it and charging them together is super convenient. I do not have a problem with not having a hook over the B-tooth either.
I do wish the slide opened a little higher because it is hard to reach the End & Send buttons at the top of the key pad with my long nails....
Also I noticed the the owners manual does not have good instructions for sending pictures and videos to other subscribers and transferring to other media. Also how to store & transfer music is not explained well.

Excellent

I purchased this phone, the day it was released. The same day i discovered it even existed. I just happen to walk into my local 4g verizon store looking for an upgrade, and bam I find the Decoy and I'm hooked. Excellent singal strength, beautiful, sleek design, for the body and the operating system. 10/10. I love this phone. Sound quality rocks too. Love the MP3 support, MicroSD, and built in blue tooth as well.

A classic already.

I went from my ever-trusty LC Chocolate (1st generation) to this. My main selling point were the similiarities ,in design to the Chocolate. The other selling point was the built-in Bluetooth, which says something being that I never used a Bluetooth device before. Needless to say, I think this phone is great. Nice, sturdy design without being too heavy or bulky. Great response when I touch the top buttons as well as the keypad. The display is absolutely gorgeous with it's 2.2", 262K color screen. The interface is Flash-based and comes with 4 different themes to choose from and looks great. Pictures come out surprisingly clean as well (as with any camera phone, a steady hand does help) and the larger video option (320x240 as opposed to 176x174) is a nice bonus as well. I'm absolutely fascinated by the Bluetooth headset. Ridiculously easy to setup and use. And EVERYONE I talk to was not able to tell I was on a headset, let alone a Bluetooth headset of this size. The ONLY cons I have against this phone are 2 things. I may have found a software bug (at least, that's what I'm hoping) in where I received a Video message from a friend and was not able to play it. It came from an LG phone (the Chocolate) and is the same file type. When I hit Play on my phone, it takes me to the Reply menu commonly found on LG's menus (1. TXT Message, 2. Picture message, etc.) I have still not been able to view it because I can't even save the video. Hoping this will be in the software update. My primary gripe is the music player. Coming off of the Chocolate, I loved the fact that I could play music while receiving text messages, going online, view pictures. Unfortunately, this phone has the standard VZW music player which means if I get a call, receive a text or, at any time, want to go back to my original menu, the music stops. Kind of annoying and a drag and probably something I'll have to get used to. But that's one thing where the Chocolate ruled. In terms of everything else, I'm very pleased with this phone
