I have had one for the past year and can vouch for the performance.
Better than the Samsung tri-mode and the LG VX4400 I've used
alongside it. Strangely, this phone seemed to escape the usual VZW
"makeover" and Nokia seems reticent to promote it for fear that VZW
will notice. I had a very hard time finding mine a year ago. I would
have to think eBoy would be your best bet at this point.
