everybody around me is holding phones where the tax on theiers, was more than the purchase price on my hinky wall mart purchased, motorola. The motorolas have a plastic case, that seams to provide drop protection on a very good level, so nice slim, big screen, does all the things, $90can with a rebate. It plays nice with a linux lap top. camera is not great is the one thing that would push me to another phone, but not at the cost of feature bloat and a more fragile phone, requiring a case.....physical bloat sure wish that it was possible to buy components and build a "phone" , as there is nothing availible anywhere at any price, that would do the "simple" things I would put it to
