This phone is the best phone on the market even better than the last phone I had the Sanyo 4500(please read that review by me). The first thing you notice about this phone is the color display, it is great. the 2-inch color display makes viewing the web a whole lot easier than the normal green screen. When you get text messages it just is a breeze to read them even in the dark. The navigation of the phone is a whole lot easier as well working from menu screen to menu screen is no problem. You can also customize the color of the the screen, you have four choices each getting dark as you go down the list I chose the color sunset it is easiest to see. The second thing you notice is the price tag a whopping $500. But I choked it up and shoveled out the money. Now when you go home and open the packaged you hear about the photo caller i.d. and the down loadable ringers(20 photos 20 ringers) you first think a very hard phone to work with but was a breeze to finger out. All functions are common sense. The lcd on the exterior is great for seeing the callers info and determine if you want to answer the call or not. What is also a great feature ids the voice memo option(also called call screening), if a caller calls after a few seconds the memo pick s up as a answering machine and at anytime during that recording if you want to answer you can interrupt and answer the call or if not let it play out and listen to it later. The LCD screen also gives you a notification of new memo's. The ringers for this phone are great but you can download others too. Two of them can be over 100kb and the other 18 can be only 20kb just to let you know in advance. The software for this is included as well as a holster. The picture quality for the phone is great but don't use dark photos use brighter photos with a lot of lighting or the face looks to be smudged out without the sufficient lighting on the picture. This phone is loaded with features. The voice dialing in my opinion is great recognizes the name even in the loudest places. Reception for this phone is great too I live out where the signal is very weak but i always can get on the web and make calls. And speaking of the web with the the soft keys for the phone you can browse the web a whole lot faster and as well as move throughout the menu faster. also has a instant internet key and instant email for the soft keys. The battery life is good if you keep the phone closed but once you open it and use the menu options for a while the life drains and that is the same way with talking on it as well. But my Phone came with a coupon for and extended battery so this is no problem anymore. So all in all go out pay the $500 (or you can get it for $350 if you look out for auctions on the web) and be able to show of the the very lightweight and small phone that has the features that makes this the best phone.
