I just got this phone on the Sprint network last Wednesday night. It is awesome! I am getting rid of my Motorola phone and my Palm M515 (which I never carried around). To respond to a few of the questions here, I usually use either the earpiece or the speakerphone which sounds very clear, or at least that is what I am told by the people that I call. Bluetooth would be great, but I found myself realizing that if I am always going to be looking and never buying, I would be missing out now for something that may come later. Making the decision to just get this phone is one of the best I have made.

It syncs with my Outlook calendar and contacts, the phone works perfectly, it takes SD cards (which I just picked up for $65 for 256 K at Costco) and it even plays MP3s. If you want to use headphones, you have to buy a $8 adapter (or $4 at Radio Shack, but much bigger) but I have been playing MP3s through the speaker and people are very jealous.

It has great battery time and good connections (at least in my area). The camera work well and all of the software it comes with is useful.

The only downfalls are the case (it comes with a nice sleeve that works, but doesn't really protect it all that well and can't be worn on the belt, plus it muffles the speaker to where you miss calls), the weak vibrator (with a muffled speaker and a weak vibrator, I am missing some calls), and the lack of a lot of accesories because it is so new.

To solve the volume issue in the car, I will be getting a hands-free cradle which will amplify the ringer, but all of the reviews that I have read say that it won't be available until April.

But, these small inconveniences are a small price to pay for a great piece of electronic wizardry, the ability to ditch my palm and an MP3 player, and the envy of my friends and colleagues (and the last one is really what it is all about...isn't it?).
