Well, the first thing you notice is the size. A candy bar type phone, is much smaller than my iphone. Has a nice 5mp camera bundled, which takes both stills and video. I pay $77.04 every month to AT&T, which includes my phone and unlimited email,web surfing and downloading, not that bad a deal. With this phone I can expect to pay an additional $35 a month for the privilege of receiving emails and surfing the web, plus being able to send or receive 250 messages.
It is a toss up on what the actual cost of owning this phone will be, but feature for feature, I kinda like the little HTC Droid. Responsive touch screen, clear type and photos, works as a phone should. I have yet to try and play a movie or mp3, but it should perform well. My iphone is my ipod, so from that stand point, it is hard to beat itunes for managing my music.
All and all , this is a well built phone , worth the money it is getting here on Ebay.
