Held this phone today @ Cingular Store!!! Uhh.. not so good
this phone is really not worth all that money. It did not impress me. I held a V551 and then a samsung e317 and I could not believe the price difference compared to the V3. This is an absolute ripoff in my mind. It is the most expensive phone cingular has ever offered with a 2 year plan, according to the rep. I went into the store after calling asking if they had one, thinking I'd love it and walk out with it. Turns out it's $500 for a slightly thinner phone with identical/fewer features than the v551. Eeeeeeek thank god I went and checked it out before buying the darn thing on-line.

Hi Lerner,
Just wanted to clarify something. I have worked for Cingular/Ameritech Cellular(Ameritech was one of 11 original co's to make up Cingular) for almost ten yrs.
When I first started in 1995 we had a phone called the Motorola Elite. It sold for about $700 after a 2yr. Then we had the first StarTac. Those sold for about $1,000 after a 2yr.
These phones were not color, did not have caller ID or internet or games or Bluetooth or a calander or a camera or external display or ANY game and batteries lasted about 2 hrs TOTAL.
I am glad you found a phone that suits your needs and budget. It pays to do research and then make an educated decision. I think you will be very happy with the v551, it sounds like a solid phone, EDGE is ...

Yeah, it's not the most expensive phone we have offered, even in the past past couple of years. The Handspring Treo 600 was about $500 when it first came out.
