I got a blast about two months ago, and i love it, definitely my favorite phone yet. Its looks, feel, call quality, pics, and other features blow the Chocolate and the Razr out of the water.

It can hold unlimited pictures, as it has an sd memory card slot ( i have a 2gb, and thats a TON of space, roughly 500 songs)
It also takes great pics, with many photo features.
You can download ringtones, or upload songs to the phone to use.
It also has great reception, and each end sounds very clear.

Id give it a 10
