As for the touch screen it's just fine and good enough. I just wish I could play flash games on it (without replacing other programs) and download games from people besides Verizon. There's a crapload of games I'd buy but they're not available. Even games listed on their website sometimes aren't available.

I'm tired of your crap network dropping my phone and (especially) data calls as soon as peak hours hit. I'm tired of your junk phones, ridiculous restrictions, sky-high rates, and terrible customer service.

pfffft what? verizon > at&t and i'm a current at&t customer. i switched thinking at&t has improved but am going right back to verizon as soon as this contract expires in a year.
