My new phone came today just like it was supposed to.
I got it out of it's package and got it turned on. Verizon has really streamlined the activation process when you are upgraded to a new phone. As soon as the phone was turned on it told me to press "1 then send" to activate. I did that and within about 45 seconds I was good to go with the new phone.
I like it quite a bit. It's a good size, looks nice, and has quite a few nice features. The only downside that I've found so far is that my old Centro did text messaging almost like instant messaging...it looked like an AIM conversation when you viewed it, which I thought was really cool. This new Samsung phone doesn't do that...it's texts are just straight text messages.
It takes good pictures, and it came with a USB cord to manage photos and such on the phone with a PC, which is a really nice feature.
I went looking for a case for it tonight, but couldn't find one that I liked...so I ended up cutting up a baby sock and sewing an end of it shut to make a small pouch for the phone. It works like a charm, and best of all instead of $20-30 for an actual case, this one cost me $1.50 and about 10 minutes.
Overall I'm satisfied so far...but I'll have to update in a few months if that changes. I was happy with my Centro for the first 100 days or so...then it all fell apart. But all of the other just regular phones I've had I have been very happy with, so I don't think this one will be any different!!!

"baby sock" ?
Is there something I missed?
Nah...I saw some iPod Nano covers a few years back that looked like socks...so I figured a small sock would work perfectly for the phone cover.
I had to go with a baby one, because adult sizes were way too big. Even kid sizes were too big.
