Interesting, a few additional questions:
Are you using Verizon?
How do you like the phone overall?
What do you like most about it, what do you like least?
What kind of battery life do you get?
Would you buy it again?

-Yep.
-Overall, it's a decent piece of hardware. It consistently makes and receives calls, which is job #1 in a phone.
-It's quite good for me. I rarely use >100 minutes/month, so I'm not a heavy user. I like clamshells since they fit in my pocket well, and it's a decent size. It's a trimode phone, as I do need to have analog service- I drive Hwy 2 in the U.P. of MI a few times a year, and there are plenty of places with analog only coverage. I've never actually used it there, but it's nice to know there's a chance it will work. The speakerphone is a nice feature for the car, since I drive a manual. It has some stupid things, like the fact that when you're in a call, the time dissapears from the display, but it's happy to tell you that you're using Verizon Wireless. Thanks, I know who I pay my bill to, but I don't know what time it is right now. The monochrome display is easy to read in direct sunlight, but is really small to try to make the calendar useful. A webbrowser in a phone like this is just a joke.
-I charge it every 3-4 days.
-If there wasn't a color trimode phone with iSync support, I would get this again. Getting contacts synched into the phone is very, very useful, but I wish I could use Get it Now services to get weather radar on the phone, without sacrificing analog coverage and iSync. Gotta have priorities.
Verizon is woefully behind in releasing new phones. They just made the Treo 600 available today. Welcome to last October.
