This phone has everything I have alwas wanted in a cellular phone. I have turned off the EVDO service because of Verizon's unaffordable rates on EVDO service. The phone has enabled WiFi, and bluetooth. It has the ability to hook up to an external gps via bluetooth. It also has voice activation features. I am loveing the touch screen and the qwerty keyboard. I am currently going to pharmacy school and use this phone as my biggest reference...I am able to put all my Drug programs, medical dictionary, Plenty of music, and videos/movies in digital form after using my PQDVD program. It plays all the old nintendo/sega games with the aid of an emulator. It has email capability, outlook powerpoint, word, excel. Mobipocket is an excellent ebook reading program for the phone. I have all my lectures from my pharmacy classes, viewable with the aid of the powerpoint and word programs....the list goes on and on. It came with the regular battery and and an extended battery. The send/end buttons are a little tough to get used to, but the phone was built to be able to handle one-handed use. I guess there is always a bit of a trade off. It was a little tough to sync for the first time...due to Windows mobile 6 and micrsoft Vista new technology...Good old Microsoft :) I hear microsoft will be coming out with a new Windows PC program sometime around 2010. Most likely will be a bit late cuz they are never on time...but I am looking forward to this... Vista is a bit of a power hungry operating system. It has largely shown me that even the most up to date computers can have a bit of lag in them...(even with a top of the line superfast alienware laptop with 2 gb memory and 2.4ghz processor). Overall theis phone is every tech person's dream come true. The only device even on the radar that will have the same and possibly slightly better capabilities will be the new Palm 800w with windows mobile 6. It has all the same capabilities except it is supposed to have a in-house GPS system (built-in). I do not think I will spend the money to buy it when it comes out though because I am highly satisfied with my current phone and all that it does.
