  • The mp3 is really cool you can change between different color skins also when u get a call it fades out so u can take the call...then when the call is done it comes back on where it left off....at first it a little trickey to use cause i'm used to having my razor but you figure it out in no time.it also has a voice meassage option..instead of just having text messaging which is pretty cool to me since my last phone didnt have that...also another thing that I really like is the video editing feature...you can edit you videos the you've recorded...u can insert lettering and even put back ground music to the video...only thing is when u insert the background music u cant hear the sound of any one talking just the music...but other than that it's cool considering it's a phone
