I have one, had it for about a month. First one froze up and Verizon sent a new one. h: I guess early ones had software bugs.

But yeah, no complaints, love it. Samsy and Will have the VX9800 too.

If I had to bitch about something:

1) Size takes some getting used to
2) Front screen is pretty much pointless except for making calls, and the buttons are small

i think it's not much bigger than the phone i have now (vx8000), so that's not a big deal. for the front screen, can you read txts on it? that's one of the best things about my 8000.

Great phone overall. Complaints:

-Sometimes when I open to the main screen, but buttons would not work. I would have to reboot it. Happened about 5 times.
-Front screen is too small
-Front buttons are too small, even with small hands, I tend to push the wrong button Not good when you are driving or something.
-The lens hole collects dust. I actually have a piece of tape covering it since I dont plan to use the camera anyway.
-The two buttons under the main screen is too close to the top cover, it is not as easy to push as I would like.
-Ive been told that the speakerphone mic sucks.
-Gets pretty thick when you add a leather case. But I got use to it.

Sure, but its so much better just flipping open the phone. The front screen is just too small for my liking. For example, the recent calls menu, itll only display 2.5 names on the list because the screen is so short.

The 9800 is the best almost-pda phone I've ever had.

My only complaint is how easily the screen breaks. I've had to replace one (I didnt have insurance so I called after it broke and told them I forgot ) But after it got replaced I havent had any single issues. And the VCast games are great!
