Able to take music on the road, users can load up a microSD memory card.

This is another one of those phones that'll sell based on looks. *cough*... RAZR.

I almost bought this phone untill i picked it up in person. The phone felt very cheap and wouldnt last more than one drop to the ground. The camera on it that rotates felt like they stripped it off of a fisher price toy or something.

It's a fingerprint magnet. But IMHO I think it looks pretty good.

I didn't mean it was all looks, but that the look will draw most buyers in. I think it's actually a decent music phone.

I have it, I like it. You can feel the vibrator move when you close it sometimes and the difficult to access mp3 player is a pain. I wish verizon would make their phones easier to edit. Still even with all that I enjoy it. Anyone know when they will come out with a flash for this phone?

if its not built-in then i wouldnt count on it. unlike software upgrades which can be flashed, the flash is hardware.

Are you and the OP both talking about camera flash or software ROM updating? Looks like you are talking about a camera flash.

The specs and pictures (and my handling of the phone last night at a store) all indicate there IS a camera flash. It appears to be a small rectangular white plastic lens on the outside above the OLED and between the Verizon logo and the hinge above it.

FWIW,
Rokky

Should be the same as any other phone. If you're talking about MP3s that is...
