I got the first one available in the store. Love it so far and it is a much needed upgrade from the old 8700 and 7100 series I have been using. It includes a nice 2MP camera and it has a flash. The media player portion is sweet! I can pretty much use it to listen to music, once I get my MicroSD card from Newegg.com. It even has a new headset connector, which is 3.5mm. This is the same as your standard headphone connector for a walkman or PC. That means I can use quality headphones! The speakerphone is extremely loud, and the rings are very crisp and clear.

I am still getting used to the rollerball, but I am starting to like it. I am not fond of the themes, as I was using a Vodafone theme on a 8700 recently and loved that. Hopefully a few months will bring some nicer themes from the community. I am happy with my purchase, and hope Cingular’s service is reliable enough. I moved from T-Mobile, after being there for the last 6 years, because my co-workers and family are on Cingular and that enables free mobile-to-mobile. I waited to switch for the last 2 months because of this device. I would have waited for T-Mobile’s if I hadn’t had that factor.
