I odered mine the day before the official release just by being
persistant with the online order operator. I have had it since it
arrived on December 6th.

I've no idea if stores will get it anytime soon. Just keep calling the
online reps and demand it.

My previous phone was the Samsung N400. the PM-325 has about the same
reception despite the lack of an external antenna. The sound quality is
much better and the phone is slightly smaller.

The slide-out keypad feels flimsy and I found that one-handed holding
and dialing is a bit more awkward. I would much have preferred owning a
longer phone than going with the slide-out but I'll get used to it.

The Bluetooh is a great feature but I'm disappointed that the phone
doesn't support file exchange between my PowerBook and the phone. Nor is
file sync supported. In fact, the only "legal" use of the BT on this
phone is the use of a headset as far as I can tell.

The BT does support DUN, however, and if you're willing to break the
Sprint TOS, you can get a dialup connection going via BT through to
Vision. It works great until someone calls you and then the connection
drops. I haven't found a way to prevent that yet.

Overall I'm pleased with the phone but I do hope that a firmware upgrade
will add some missing BT functionality.

I picked one up last night at a radio Shack in Brookfield, Wisconsin.
Very limited Bluetooth. I have an Axim X30 pda and all you can do is
use the phone for an internet hookup. I was hoping I could transfer
pictures from the phone's camera, but you can't. The phone is just a
cheap LG. I may take it back

Just got mine the other day to replace my Treo 300. Keyboard is small
and cheap but useable, singnal is as good or better. Built in
voicedial (not sprint pay service) is good so the weak keyboard is
really not that bad. I have a used Tungsten T on the way from ebay to
use via bluetooth as a DUN, and I think I can use it to dial. I asked
in the store about using DUN and that breaking the TOS with sprint, and
they said yea it does, but Sprint does not really care as long as you
access about as much I did with my Treo. Considering I would download
my email and attachments to it you would have to really be using the
DUN services for Sprint to notice.

The phone was $75 after my rebates and the Tunsten T with keyboard was
$125. Much cheaper then a Treo 650 and a lot bigger screen.
