A very good cell phone. Gets the job done, which in my opinion is to make phone calls. It has a very good coverage area, although tends to be weak inside buildings.

The battery life is remarkable. I have gone 5-6 days without a charge. Of course that all depends on how much you use your phone.

The camera takes OK pictures, but again...this is a phone, not a camera. It would be adequate to document an accident or something along those lines. Bottom line though if you want a camera to take excellent pictures, you should buy a camera.

Very satisfied with the "New Every Two" plan. I was able to get my VX8300 free, a free VX8300 for my wife, and two VX5300s for each kid for free.

The built in MP3 player is quite remarkable as well. With a 512mb (extra $30), it can hold over 120 songs. Playback quality is very good. In order to copy CDs, you have to buy the additional Music Essentials kit (extra $30). But all in all, still cheaper than a traditional MP3 player.

Available ringtones are a little weak, and buying additional ringtones can be quite expensive; not to mention that it uses your air time minutes. But you can get around the airtime usage by calling after 9 or on the weekends.
