Okay. Seeing as how this is an XpressMusic phone, the music player would have to be pretty good. Well. It is. The music player is great. I ditched my iPod nano when I got this.

This phone has a standard headphone jack. You can use whatever headphones you want. The ones from your iPod, some SkullCandy, some cheapo's you get from WalMart. Anything will work with this. No adapter needed.

The radio on this is great. If you get sick of the music you have on it just switch it to the radio. It has RDS and tells you the name of the station, and the song thats playing. [Provided the station broadcasts it.]

This phone is only 9.9mm thick. It's thinner than your pinkie finger.

Okay, this phone will not die. My friend left hers in a swimming pool over night, let it dry, and it still works. She spilled nail polish all over it, and it still works.

The screen on this has 16 million colors. Thats 62 times more than a middle end phone and 246 times more than a basic phone. It's so sharp. It matches the computer.

The OS on this phone is amazingly stable. :D It never crashes or lags or anything.

Messaging on this phone is a breeze. Every aspect. The keys are small but huge. It lets you hold an UNLIMITED amount of messages. The T9 is the smartest I've ever used.

I send/receive about 1000 texts a day. I only have to charge this every other day.

This phone is great. All around. Anyone can get around the menus.

Now the bad, the camera. It's impossibly slow. But after you take the picture, it's actually pretty decent. Nothing like a SLR, but good for Facebook.
