21. don't waste your money

I was able to get this phone at a pretty good price because i started a new contract with verizon, but everything else starts adding up. Windows Mobile 6 is a joke. Its slow, and there are just too many menus to go through to get things done. Pressing the X button in the upper right hand corner to close a program doesn't actually exit the program, so it's still running the background. People recommended SPB Pocket Plus, which is a great addition to the phone, it does the little things that the phone should have come with. It actually closes programs when you click the X, it allows you to flip the screen even when the keyboard is not open. and you can customize your "desktop" for the things you want and use most. I was only using the trial of the program, thats an additional 40-50 bucks. Another problem is the phone doesn't come with a case so you have to keep it in your pocket, so to ensure the screen doesn't get scratched, you need screen protectors. Like i said it all starts adding up. But I've def grown a custom to the phone, but I consider myself a power user, I live by my phone, i sent 30-40 emails a day from my phone, on top of receiving and sending 100 text messages and all i can say is this phone can't handle me. It comes with 2 batteries, a regular one and extended. Everyday I go through both batteries. So between texting, emailing, using the internet and everyday phone calls the phone battery doesn't last. So i recommend to anyone needing a phone that works longer than a normal 9-5...this is not for you

22. beats nothing..... sort of

Just ok is about the best thing I can say, after reading other reviews I decided not to wait until the release of the 6800 and go with this phone, couple of things jump out... is slow, screen to screen is anything but crisp and fast, little sluggish to be exact. no gps... more a verizon problem than a phone problem, camera is ok, not good not bad... voice command is sub par, it was much better on my blackberry and initial signal strength is so so, I know that the blackberry was better but to be honest, I havent given that a completly fair shake.... no mini usb and doesnt charge when connect to computer.... other than that get in line to get it or wait for the better phone to come out.

Great Phone, but has a few draw backs.
1. Speakerphone is loud which is great, but sound quality isn't too clear when turned up
2. Transcriber feature is good if your hand writing is on point, but there is a bug in this feature. Try using the little keyboard icon when writing with the Transcriber. Press @ or ) or ( and see what happen.
Great phone, few bugs.

24. Better than expected

I was expecting some draw backs with some of the other reviews I have seen. In all actuallity its a great phone. Camera feature works great. Flash is weak on the camera thoughBluetooth works great. Screen is real clear. The buttons on the side haven't shown to be any issue as far as accidently hitting them. Std life batt may not work for people who do a lot of data. The Extended life batt is nice and slim. It only adds about 5mm to the thickness. Li-Poly batt. Great technology. Transitions the screen from vertical to horizontal pretty efficiently. Texting works with it closed which is a plus if your on the go. WM6 on here has several upgrades already on the device. Flashlite, .net, ect. Excellent device to use without a stylus.

I was able to order one of the badboys last friday. I recieved it tuesday, and haven't stopped smiling since. Aside from the camera, this phone seems to have it all. Solid build, quick response from screen to screen(no lag),remarkably fast processor(WOW!!!), WIFI picks up great at work(hospital wireless networking), the list goes on and on. I do believe no phone out there is a 10 out of 10. In my opinion VZW has certainly come close.
