Long before then it will be obsolete. The lack of EDGE hastens that day.
(Whatever were they thinking?! The V511 has EDGE, albeit not the best
possible implementation -- why not the RAZR V3?!)

Notwithstanding a few warts (e.g., Cingular customization, phone book, lack of
included ringtones and games), I'm pretty happy with my new V551.

If I walk into a cingular store, what price are they selling the V551?
The online deal looks cool though
