My daughter talked me into buying this phone so that we could send instant messages back and forth. I was a little unsure that I was going to like this thing. Boy was I wrong. I have used this phone as a phone, taken pictures of my Son's wedding and emailed them imediatly to his sick grandparents so they could see what was happening as it happened, looked up directions on the internet, kept up with the weather through the alerts section and kept in touch with my office through email. This thing is amazing. I just came back from a trip with 8 people. Everyone had cell phones and all services were represented. (Verizon, Cingular, Sprint and Nextel).

My T-Mobile phone was the only one that had coverage the entire trip. I went from Kansas City to Aspen without a single glitch. I have no complaints at all, and have no problem recommending this phone and T-Mobile to anyone. When my wife's contract is up with Verizon, I am switching her over to one of these bad boys and T-Mobile.
