So far, so good. I will note, that the Motorola V710 - while it has an awesome screen - has a real sweet spot on the earpiece. If it's off just a tiny bit, the voice quality drops - sounds like the caller is in a can. Same for the Samsung and LG phones that I tried out.
It takes a pretty good picture - better than the husband's Samsung. And it's light for it's size. I charged it on Sunday and still have full battery reading. It has Bluetooth capability, but I don't know whether that will be useful or not. Anyone else really use it on their cell?

Nice phone. I would check out recent press about the implimentation of BT, which Verizon has seen fit to cripple significantly.
I use BT daily, both for syncing data (I have BT on my Dell notebook at work and on my PowerBook at home) and with a wireless headset (mot hs-810). The latter is, for me, the killer app: once you use a wireless headset, you will laugh at all of the clowns using wired headsets. It's really that cool.
Using the phone as a wireless moden for a BT-enabled PC is also a terrific use, though, thanks to verizon you won't be able to do it. You get GPRS and/or EDGE speeds on GSM phones, which is about what I remember dial-up being. it's not perfect, but its better than nothing. Truth be told, I'd rather use WAP over GPRS, and leave the notebook packed until I get to a hotel/hotspot.
