this better not turn into another fad like the razr...although i don't really care since i still think sony ericsson phones are the best.

Get the Helio Hero instead. The new RIZR looks pretty good.

it has an expandable memory of 2 or 4 gigs i forget, and has the scroll wheel like an ipod.  it's pretty much just the ultimate mix of a phone and mp3 player

no you get a $100 credit towards  new one and you don't have to trade in your old one.  you get to smash it with a brick.

i don't understand why your phone needs to have 1 million different features plus an mp3 player built in so you can make your life even more hectic

i only had to pay $50 for it, and it has an expandable memory slot so i figured i could use this for muzsic when im skiing instead of carrying my phone and an mp3 player (i dont have an ipod)

if they fit your needs. I have a rim 8700 and a SE w810i, because neither one does everything i need.

BB's (at least right now) dont have any real multimedia functions...and thats just the way the users like/want it.

Obiviously you dont know shit. They are promoting myspace mobile alot but i dont even use myspace. The phones have everything you could want and more. Much better than this lg piece of shit.

i got it

its really tight
it takes some getting used to because of the touch screen
but it sometimes gives you trouble on cold days because its hard to grip with dry skin

i haven't really heard much about it other than it's sexy.

i like mine more though, it's really rugged and i don't think it could ever really break, here's me using it:

I just got the white chocolate with my phone plan, and it was $130 with mail in rebate. So far I really like it. It has a lot of nice features, most of which I haven't even utilized yet. I still need a memory card for music too, and the headphones, so thats kinda a pain you have to buy all the extra stuff to make it an mp3 player. You can actually make phone calls without opening it too, which is pretty sweet to me for some reason. Overall I think its a great phone so far.

I've had mine for a week now (I have the 8500 CDMA version). Its a great phone but I have some major gripes:
backlight wont go off when mp3 player is playing. still DECENT play time at 5 hours with bluetooth and memorycard enabled
fucking telus disabled the bluetooth obex profile so you have to use a program called bitpim to transfer files to the slow ass serial profile
