Well after two years of hating my current phone and a year of it not working really at all at work I got a new one. I wanted to get Verizon since they seem to have the best coverage, especially at my home and work. They also had a nice national plan. I will be saving over $20 a month. I really disliked the interface on my current Siemens phone, it was just so counterintuitive. This was especially true in comparison to my earlier Nokia phones. I wanted to get another Nokia phone, however Verizon only offered a single one with not many features. Recently Verizon started offering the Motorola V710. This is a camera phone, cool feature but I could live without it. It also has Bluetooth, which I wanted mostly for a cordless headset. Some people complain that you can't use the Bluetooth to transfer pictures and MP3's, however I could care less. I got a cordless headset and have already tested it and let me tell you it is awesome. I click the button and the phone says "what would you like to do", I say voice dial. Then it I say something like "home" and it dials, not training needed and it has worked perfectly thus far. I can be up to 30 ft from phone and still be talking on it. I think this is amazing, a phone that can do voice recognition well and I can leave it in one place and walk around. Worth trying out I say. Oh it isn't too cheap unfortunately, but I may use it as opposed to my old phone which I didn't use.
Oh and number portability worked perfectly. I gave the guy at Radio Shack my name, current number and account number. Then 15-30 minutes later the number was done being ported. Amazing stuff considering some of the articles I have read about it in the past.
