I bought this phone about a week ago from a friend.  There are both pros and cons, yet the good far outweighs the bad.  Yes, it is a proprietay headphone jack and it's not a flip phone(I'm partial to flip phones, Pantech Duo is too thick).  However, the amount of stuff that's packed into that little phone is amazing. I don't use those phone for e-mail purposes, but I do use all of the other features: calendar, Windows Media Player, notepad, etc.  The phone synchs effortlessly with Outlook.  I used to use a Palm, and synching that thing was a chore.  It took forever.  You don't even realize...
