Hi,

Just came across your forum here via Google. You've been through 2 phones in the past 5 months? You're making me nervous.

I just got the T720 at the end of May from Verizon. As you say, it is a Pimpin' Phone. I just hope mine doesn't break down as easily as yours.

I do have a couple of gripes about it though. First off, you can't install wallpaper or ringtones outside of Verizon's proprietary "Get It Now" feature. This is unfortunate because if you make a ringtone or wallpaper yourself and want to put it on your phone, you're either SOL or you have to pony up some cash for some sort of WAP or "Get It Now" service. Very annoying as it prevents this phone from living up to it's full potential.

The other gripe is this phone doesn't come with any games whatsoever. If you want a game, you have to buy via "Get It Now." If I'm not mistaken, most phones come with at least some gaming diversion (i.e. Blackjack, Solitaire, etc.).

Otherwise, I like this phone.

Oh yeah. Syc, you mentioned insurance for this phone. I don't recall anyone offering me insurance. (I'm in California). I might have to look into that. Anyhow, good thread you have going here. I hope you're new phone doesn't take a dump on you.
