chef, I have the phone and love it. Havent had the underwater experience that others have, buts its been in my pocket when my pants were soaked a doezen times, dropped it 20 times and it works great.
I got it free when I renewed with verizon
Okey dokey..well, it's $299 for the phone but riddle me this:
How much is the 2 year Verizon contract with monthly charges?
I dont know about that phone in particular but keep in mind you can buy a few phones for $299.00. In my opinion you will have to keep that phone for a while to make it worth it, no?
