I bought one July 4th. With the "new every two" plan, my phone was free.
I haven't had a chance to try the Bluetooth or other capabilities, yet.
It's a solid phone, a little on the heavy side. It has excellent
reception -- it gives me a solid signal where my LG6000 (which, in itself,
wasn't a bad phone) did not. The speaker phone is very good. Sound quality
is excellent and plenty loud -- even with my bad ear. The display is nice
though, like all contemporary Verizon phones, far too heavy on the cutsy GUI
junk (first "personalization" thing I did was specify "text" instead of
"icons" for the menuing. It has a nice, loud ring/
I haven't tried either still photos or video -- I have no interest in
either.
According to Howard Forums, many of the same seem edits that worked on the
V710 work on the E815, including one that will enable DUN (though there are
other reports of DUN working out of the box).
I've ordered Mobile Phone Tools and a data cable. I'll probably pick up a
Bluetooth headset later this week. I'll report back if anyone's interested.
