I have been with Verizon in the Des Moines area for 4+ years and recently decided to trade up from my Audiovox 8900. The front display had gone out, and I was ready for a new phone.

I purchased the 6100 off of the Verizon website for $29.99. I had read many reviews before buying and was convinced that - for the money - this was my best choice. I've been using it for about 48 hours and love it! The phone has a bright display, more "fun" wallpapers, etc. than I was used to on the 8900 and has not dropped a call yet...which was my biggest fear, having read some reviews!

Verizon's Get It Now software runs quicker than on my 8900 and download times in general (tones, applications, etc.) are faster.

The only drawback I've noticed is a slight fuzziness when talking to some people. It's not heard on the other end, so it's my phone...but it is NOT a problem. Not distracting at all...just an artifact I'll deal with :)

Overall, it's a great phone for the money...we'll see if it withstands the test of time.
