My daughter will be porting her Cingular number over to Verizon for better
coverage at the end of this month when her contract is up. I went to a mall
store with her this weekend and she likes the size and feel of the Samsung
SCH-530 phone. Her 2nd choice is the Audiovox CDM8600 that I have - I told
her the user interface on this could be improved. I'll be getting her a
data cable and connection S/W on ebay for whatever phone she uses so she can
have internet access on her computer for nights and weekends.

1. Any comments on how the SCH-530 performs and how people like the user
interface?

2. Anybody looked at the benefits of having a separate account versus
family share plan? She'll be living on the left coast with her right coast
phone number she has had for 4 years. The rest of the family is on the
right coast. I know only the primary phone gets unlimited In-network
calling on a shared plan unless you pay $10/mos more. She will start out
with AC 400 min/mos plan plus $4.99/mos mobile web.

Thanks for your opinions

I've had the SCH a530 for about six weeks now and am very pleased with
it. For the previous several years I had been satisfied with a StarTAC
7868w. My main reason for switching was to get a 1X capable phone. The
first phone I tried was a Motorola V60s--took it back after two days due
to terrible battery life.

The a530 has been terrific for data use, although it was a bit of a pain
to get set up. The user interface is fine, but I haven't yet figured
out a good way to light up the keypad when the phone is in use. Battery
life is outstanding. Voice quality is okay. All in all, a great phone
(assuming you don't need analog).
