After looking at the specs for the KRZR I'm pretty satisfied about the phone. The question is, is it worth the wait? I was thinking of holding onto my NE2 until the phone comes out, but it's obvious that it's gonna be awhile till they release it. What should I do? Should I wait or should I just get another phone? My second alternative would be the v3m but it seems like everyone has a RAZR nowadays and I don't really wanna join the crowd. Any other phones that you might recommend for me?

The chocolate is cool, but is it functional as well? I like the KRAZR, maybe if its a 2 month wait you should go for it?

The Motorola RIZR (aka Capri) may be worth the wait. Let's look at a few comperables...
The LG chocolate has ALMOST everything. But wait! What's this - no speakerphone. The Nokia/Patech 6305i is a great little slider. But wait! What's this - no bluetooth (are you serious?!).
What about new Samsung SCH-a990. It's the highest end specs of any non-PDA. Sleek, miniature, 3.2MPix camera, flippable display, MicroSD, Great voice recognition, EVDO. What's not to love. Wait! Band news. I just flipped mine on eBay. Why?! Great in all respects except one. It can't pull in a signal worth cr*p. (Yes -- I even got Verizon to replace the phone. But let's face it. Zero bars when my Motorola v60i, v710 and E815 all show 3 or 4 bars. That means no operation in Elevators, malls, basements, and most buildings. This is a camera/MP3 player and not a phone.

Hey guys, I know this an old post, but I found it while searching.
StarBus, it's nice to see someone else with the same experience I've had, especially since we live in the same area.
I'm on my third A-990. It's a wonderful camera and paperweight. It's a terrible phone. Avoid it if you like to use your phone to talk to people.

Hi Chris,
I don't often come across the name 'Luongo'. I can't help asking if you are related to the family that bought a home in Skokie IL in the early 80s. The head-of-house was the official photographer for a harness racing track.
Next about the Samsung SCH-a990. When I finally told the Verizon repair associate that I am disappointed in comparison with my v60i, v710 and E815. He said, "Oh Well. That's not a fair comparison. Everyone knows that the Motorola phones have awesome reception and can place calls from anywhere." That was all I needed to hear to return to Moto. Even without an external antenna the tiny KRZR k1 pulls in a signal where no Samsung has gone before (with apologies to Gene Rodenberry).
