Great !!!!
3 of 6 found this helpful I've used Verizon for a few years, and getting good-quality, high-end phones are difficult, mostly because of Verizon's use of CDMA and, admittedly, its customer lock-in with 2yr contracts as the norm. CDMA is extremely popular in Korea, so the best non-PDA phones for Verizon are bound to be from either Samsung or LG, the two leading Korean electronics maunfacturers.
First of all, the build quality is excellent. The hinges on LGs are never flimsy and they hold up very well despite heavy use -- this is in sharp contrast to some Motorolas that I've owned (don't even ask me about the worthless Verizon Startac I owned!). Secondly, the both of the displays are bright and easy to read. The navigation is straightforward, so don't even bother pulling out the manual. And finally, there are plenty of novelties. Face it -- no matter how seriously you use your phone, you can't help but to smile a bit to see cool colors, a high-quality ring tone, and a sharp camera. I own thousands of dollars in photography equipment, but the convenience of a camera phone for that quick snapshot when I don't have my SLR is worth it.
Overall, I think this is a solid performing phone if you're looking for plenty of multimedia features. However, it is slightly on the large side and it's still stuck in Verizon-land. Flexibility to take it to other networks would be nice. I don't have any specific complaints about this phone, but an Excellent rating for a phone is something that I rarely give out ...

Best Yet!
5 of 10 found this helpful I got this game a few days early, so decided to play out most of the features. I must say that this game is a HUGE improvement over Madden 06, it felt like an entirely different game. If I had to mak a comparison, it feels like a mixture of NCAA 07 and Madden 05.
The 360 version has a few things missing, but a few things added that make up for the difference.
Missing: Defensive Playmaker. This game is hard to play Defense on so far.
Added: A Blocking ability that lets you block, and then switch to the Running Back. It helps make some gaps, and also features a slow motion effect when switching abilities.
Graphics: HDTV - STUNNING - First Next Generation game I have seen on the 360.
Regular TV - Feels like I am playing the original Xbox
GamePlay: Feels a lot better, but could be stronger.
Extra Modes: I find SuperStar to be fun, but have a feeling that some people will not enjoy it. You are basically stuck at 1 position for the entire game.
Overall: I think this game is a Must Buy for the Madden/NFL Fan

Great unit!
3 of 8 found this helpful Ok here it is! The Sony T50! The camera for people who dont care about price. At 499.99 it is pretty expensive little digital camera. But if you want the best you have to pay for it. The Sony T50 comes with a huge 3.0" screen which is just as clear as sony's high end televisions. Sony corporation will make up words like "double anti blur technology. Dont let this confuse you all it means is that it comes with their super steady shot (optical stabalization) and high sensitivity option (iso up to 1000). The Carl Zeiss Optics in the T50 really set it apart from any other digital cameras. Remember the optical quality is the most important factor not the mega pixel. Although the 7.2MP sensor will allow you to blow up to atleast 16x20 but ive done 20x30 poster prints that look amazing from this camera. Standard 3x optical zoom in the Sony T50. Loads of interesting features like the picture slideshow with music. Even better is the video quality - 30 frames per sec MPEG4 quality. The battery in this camera will give you over 400 shoots! Only thing I dont like about Sony cameras in general are two things. First their memory cards are different then all the other manufactures. Secondly they seem to be very fragile - their screens break easy and the flip front is one of the most common repairs in the industry. The Sony T50 is one of the hottest cameras and with its small elegant design its sure to be a solid winner.
