Default Anybody have the new verizon chocolate phone?

Just curious if anyone has the phone? Were up to get new phones this week and this phone has really caught my eye. It has navigation. It's built like an ipod. Bluetooth. 1.3mp camera and camcorder. A little longer then a credit card. The 150 price tag seems kind of steep, but considering i dont have a mp3 player its perfect for me. Any thoughts?

a good friend of mine bought it and i checked in with him and he says its a good phone and likes it. i went and played with 1 at the local verizon store and i think it would be a good phone. i almost bought it till i seen that it wont take my mini sd card. im not buying another 2 gig card. it takes the new micro sd cards.

I've been thinking about getting this phone also. How are the actual phone features and is it easy to text message with that phone?

I bought this phone last friday and I really like it. My old plan ended so i got the phone itself for 50 (no insurance) and then I bought the accessory package (leather case, car charger, music software, handsfree earpiece, 1gig memory card) for about 200. As I said before, I really like it. The only thing that bothers me is when I'm using the touchscreen and then i go to text or dial a number and I forget that the numbers aren't touchscreen too... But besides that- the music is great (it's basically a phone wrapped around an ipod), the camera is good, the voice recognition is fun if you are into that. On a scale of 10, 10 being the highest, i'd rate it at 8.5.

Edit: The buttons are pretty dang small- after a few days, I can text like I could on my old phone but for someone with large fingers it might be a problem. The features are really cool- the guy at the verizon stand told me that it wasn't very user friendly but i found it very easy to setup for myself and to use.

MIne still seems to do pretty well. I dont listen to the mp3's that much though. I'm also curious on how many songs a 1gb memory card will be able to hold. You can find the micro cards for about 35 bucks.
