Wow. That really has to be the ugliest phone I've seen in '08...simply terrible.
Ugly. Really really ugly. I'm sure someone out there likes it though.
The keyboard reminds me of the HTC Blue Angel but this thing is HIDEOUS!
I like it.
i would totally rock one of these.
if we ever launch it for post paid.
Is that a Safari browser logo??
no its VZ Navigator
so VZ navigator has the same icon as Apple's Safari Browser? I find it hard to believe that Verizon would be using the blue compass as the VZ navigator logo for as long as VZ navigator has been out without any sort of legal action from Apple.
(see Safari logo at the bottom of this page)

Google maps icon is very similar also.
No EV-DO?!
That is one ugly phone.
And it has to have EV-DO if it has V-Cast Music
actually u can do vcast music without ev-do. u need ev-do for v cast videos
This wouldn't sell unlocked with three sim slots in china running android.
There is a phone for every customer. For instance, this is a phone for someone looking for a small, square, low-res screen phone, with an ugly layout and dead space a-plenty. Wide enough not to fill a pocket but also short enough to be pointless.
I don't feel sorry for the investors.
Can I get this at Walmart and add it to my current account? I am just about up with my contract and want something new to hold me over until the Bold or the Touch Pro comes out.
Wow, they've managed to copy both RIM and Fischer-Price in one fell swoop! Good going. Does it have the "spin and spell" adapter?
it does not have evdo, nor does it have to for vcast music. If anyone remembers the juke does not have evdo but you can still sync music from vcast music through a computer. I really don't think its that hideous but i'm not going to trade in my phone anytime soon for it.
I love this phone! I can;t wait til August 8th. 6 more days!!!!
I just got the phone today and so far love its form factor and its ease of setup and use. For those of us that cannot afford the most high tec phones this one fits our niche. It is a nice size to carry without being so small you can't find it. I myself am VERY happy with it. And I LOVE THE BLUE...
I think this is one of the best phones ever to come out or back cause itz really easy to use an people in my area love it an want to buy it, so I think its a good phone 4 $99 at wal-mart
Anyone know where I can buy one of these? I live in the Chicagoland area. Called a few Walmart stores and no luck.
I like how it looks. Its different from alll the other phones out there. I thought it was ugly too at first, but its actually pretty cute. its a teenager phone.
Its a very cool phone and teens seem to enjoy the key pad for the texting i have one and i haft to say its very easy to set up and is a great size
Yeah, for all you people who dissed this phone, I disagree completely.
I just got this a couple days ago and it's my favorite personal cellular phone that I've ever had.
The screen and colors are nice and vibrant and full keyboard is amazing. If you wanna spend a few extra bucks and throw in a 4gb card it also makes a pretty cool MP3 player, being that you can just plug it in as an external drive and just copy music over how much easier can it get. It also has a decent little camera on it also.
One of the main reasons that I got this phone was because I have a blackberry curve through work and the keyboards are almost identically shaped, which obviously makes texting a thousand times easier and faster.
Also it's not just a phone for teens, do people honestly think that teenagers are the only ones who text?
Okay, I'm 14. I only got this phone because the phone I wanted was "crap" according to the chick that was selling it to me. The keyboard is amazing! I had a Samsung SCH u-740 before, and I hated the keyboard(my fingers are too fat for it). So I fell in love with the "blitz". At first I didn't really like it, but I got used to it. The color is awesome, and so is the fact that you can download music and pictures onto it much like an iPOD. The 1.3 megapixel camera is however horrible, but its a phone, not a camera.
I love this phone. and for those of you who think its "ugly", what are you thinking!? I think its adorable :D
This phone was terrible, I went through two in less than 24 hours. I have Verizon and with both phones had problems with the navigator. With the first phone the navigator froze and would not work, I finally got it running but then discovered the voice on the navigator was so soft, you could not hear the directions. The second Blitz would not download the navigator at all and it kept losing service. My service would be on for ten minutes and then be off for the next 30 minutes. Avoid this one!!!!!
So i've got this phone and had it for a month now and the past like I don't know... week? it's done nothing but be a piece of junk. Your supposed to slide it up and it will unlock the keys and it wont unlock them when you slide it up you either have to push OK to unlock them now or you have to slide it up and down like 4 times. And I would be on the phone and it would just hang up and when I would look at the phone it would say "keypad locked" like i closed my phone or something and it would still be open! But how much do you want to bet the verizon place is going to blame it on me when you can clearly see it hasn't been dropped or thrown in a puddle.
i wish i had this fone but im so damn poor i cant even afford bread damn man
