LG Versa VX9600 Phone, Black (Verizon Wireless)

Buy this product from Amazon.com

This a great little phone. Its essentially an upgraded LG Dare with an attachable keyboard. I've been through a few Verizon phones, so let me just lay out the good and bad points about this phone.

The good:
- Sensitive touchscreen
- Responsive accelerometer
- Great call quality, with no dropped calls (You really can't beat Verizons coverage)
- Good battery life
- Nice attachable keyboard
- Not as bulky as a smartphone
- Nice browser that supports full HTML and Flash
- A decent MP3 player
- Additional attachments on the way
- Expandable memory

The Bad:

- Screen gets dirty fast, a problem common to touch screen phones
- Battery takes a long time to charge fully
- 2.5mm jack instead of the normal 3.5mm headphone jack, strange considering part of its draw is its MP3 ability
- The attachable keyboard case is not very attractive
- the screen on the keyboard case is lousy - It looks like something you'd find on the cell phones of the 90s.
- No dial pad on the outside of the keyboard case.
-Micro SD card slot is not accessible when the keyboard is attached.

Despite my listed complaints, I still think this phone is a great investment. If you can't afford a smartphone, this is the next best thing. It makes texting a breeze, and looks cool too.
