Nice looking phone
I quite like the look of this phone, but the software is a different matter. The browser was probably picked by Nokia, not Verizon based on which sub-vendor could meet the basic spec and offered the lowest royalty.

I actually went to two different actual Verizon stores today and they did not have this phone. âšī¸
