I've had this phone since it first came out, and I still love it! Up until Samsung introduced this brilliant design, all I used was Motorola phones. As a text addict, it was impossible to resist the ability to switch to the QWERTY keyboard AND switch back to a regular comfortable flip phone mode (unlike the Sidekick-style phones where it looks like you're holding up an entire laptop PC up to your ear). This is a truly revolutionary phone, with some slight snags. This phone has some music player abilities too, but I've never used them. I use the phone simply for communication. The reception is decent, and the volume of the earpiece, speaker, and ringer are all pretty good. There are a couple flaws in the software, which make it annoying every once in a while (like to text quotation marks or parentheses, you have to move to another page on the screen). Still, no biggie. The adapter is one of the better ones I've used (thank God they stopped using those flimsy adapters with the pins!).
