Bought this phone over the weekend and love it! Plan might not suit everyone but thought I throw this one out there as the phone is newly released. The 3D is amazing & addictive; takes 3MP 3D pictures, up to 720 p 3D movies, comes with 10 free 3D games (include shrek cart, assassins creed, spiderman etc), can watch 3D youtube. Takes 5MP 2D pictures, up to 1080 p video. Picture quality is great. Also have 1.3MP front facing camera for inbuilt video calls (this pic quality is pixelated). Does everything else that a mobile phone does well. Operating Android 2.2 froyo but update to 2.3 gingerbread should be available in the near future.
