I have had the bj2 for about 3 weeks now, and was sent all the accessories for a bj1, really frustrating. The first thing i noticed that i didn't like was the fact i cannot charge the phone in and talk with an ear bud. Also, i can't just go buy a generic ear bud, you have to buy an exp. one for this phone from the manufacture. I came from the Rumor (sprint) and miss the slide with wide qwerty board, but don't miss tht it slid out all the time..I am getting used to this phone and am sure i will not be able to live without it soon. I do like the reception and it works at my home where the sprint network did not. Oh and my roller in the middle is uesless. so i am not impressed with it at all, as i have fingernails. i now wish i had tried the new trio as it does have a touch screen... if the bj2 had that it would be perfect.
