Possibly the best phone ever.
9 of 11 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: LONG battery life, great design, versatile.
Cons: Can't play MP3's due to Verizon software.
My girlfriend and I both purchased this phone about a month ago, and we love it. Long battery life, great reception, tons of features and it's pretty, too.
Unlike the person who reviewed this phone below, I've never had problems with the volume of the phone being too low. If anything, I have to turn DOWN the volume, because at the highest volume setting, it's bursting my eardrums.
Also, about the other review below saying that the front wallpaper turns off too quickly? You can change the duration, so don't worry about that.
The ONLY drawback (and it's a small one... and this is only with Verizon units with VCast) is that the software doesn't allow you to play MP3's... only WMA's. You can sync your phone to your computer via the optional data cable and have WMP 10 reformat the mp3's to wma's, but it is a bit of a hassle (although I hear that Verizon is working on a new version of VCAST that will allow you to play them). ...

A Great Product That Needs More Support
9 of 9 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Large capacity, retractable USB port.
Cons: Lack of u3 software.
My girlfriend had just purchased this flash drive for me, as she knows that as a designer, I am in a constant need for portable media storage. She bought me the 2GB version of the cruzer, and I love it.
Not only is it a flash drive, it's a portable computer. Using Sandisk's "U3" technology, you can install various programs onto the actual flash drive for use on other computers. Are you at a computer that doesn't have MS Word installed, but really need to access that document? No problem. With the U3 version of OpenOffice.org installed on your drive, you just plug it in any computer to access it. The computer doesn't have to have the program installed... your flash drive does.
There are other programs available for download as well such as WinAmp, Firefox, Trillian, etc, with more programs being developed everyday.
You can't just put any program on the drive and expect it to work... it's only flaw. You have to use actual programs developed with the U3 tech. But like I said, more are produced everyday, and it's only a matter of time before a patch or converter is available to curtail that. ...
