The phone is great for what it has, people should research "features" before buying and if you complain about something, complain about the phone actually does or does not, not how to compare it to another phone. Learn about it before buying.....DUH! This phone is advertised as a smartphone, so comparing to a smartphone shouldn’t even be suggested.

I really wanted the v9 but there was no way I was going to buy a burgundy phone. Also the v9 battery life was pretty poor. I bought it on the premier for $179.99 but I think regular att sells it for $199.99 now. Most (if not all) don't even have this phone yet....I went to a few and called a few before having to buy it online. The Good: 0 This new V9x is really nice. 0 Batter life is now up to 6 hrs (from previous 3 hrs) 0 3G Speeds + AT&T Navigator! And you can use it on the front screen. 0 GPS!! 0 You get video + 2.0 megapixel camera, keeping up with new phones 0 Crystal Talk works amazing! 0 Up to 8GB of expandable memory! The Bad: 0 It doesn't take a regular headphone jack! You have to get one with a mini USB (if it exists??). So there goes the whole plus about having the music accessible on the easy to use front screen!!! 0 Apparently no software for pc-phone sync--which is what I liked about my bberry curve 8310 (a lot of support on bberry.com) 0 a little heavier In summary I would never buy this phone as a PDA/Smartphone. With all these cool new features it is still a flip phone that you can store 8GB of music and pics. If I wanted a smartphone I would definately go with a Blackberry Curve, which aside from poor battery life, is simply put the best smartphone out there. I do think this is the best flip phone, regular phone, out there. The quality of the sound is amazingly better than most other phones & it does carry a lot of new options. It's weird but I get more signal strength AND better sound quality with this phone than with a previously owned iPhone. Just purchased this phone on the att premier website.

How can it be shipping? I wonder if the 9 button is going to work 100% of the time on this one. It is not shown on at&t’s site. How can it be shipping?

They are at X now, that means just Y & Z! Or perhaps they will start over with AA. The razor was "innovative", when it came out, but the design is getting long in the tooth.
