I'll second that. We had 4 e815's... My wife and I upgraded to the v9m,
and my kids stayed with the 815's.

The v9m is a little pricey, but I haven't regretted upgrading from the
815. I think the Verizon UI is incredibly sucky... and that's my
biggest complaint.

Reception is about equal to the 815, and battery life isn't quite as
good - but not horrible, either.

I used to go 4 days without charging the 815. My v9m is every 3 days...
or a little more if I'm playing with it.

Nice features, and a great form factor. I was looking for something
that wasn't nearly as bulky to carry in a pocket, and the v9m fits that
bill nicely.
