I had a big problem with the clear screen protector — it had little paper stickers on both sides (at the edge), that were to be pulled off before & after application. EXCEPT … they were paper, and used cheap glue that didn’t allow a clean peel-off, so the screen protector was basically useless. (Why is it that products made in China seem to only use cheap glue?) So that freebie ain’t so great.

If I were to do it over, I’d probably go to a nearby discount store and get a cheapo silicone case for a couple of bucks less. But this does the job I wanted done, so I’m keeping it.

Voyager has problems multi-tasking where the Venus had no problem with what I would be using. I had to spend way too much time opening the Voyager to access the keyboard. Time I didn’t have spend opening the Venus.

Yes, there are some minor problems with the accessibility of the volume control and the lock/unlock feature, but not that serious. Slider works very well and seems very well built to avoid breakage. The camera takes very nice pictures and I love the camera controls. When you want to take a picture, you open the slider, hit camera button and

the screen flips 90 degrees so that it feels and looks just like a camera.

I actually play a Verizon $6.95 WSOP Texas Hold’em game that I downloaded and there is no usage fee. I have played some tournaments and cash tables and do quite well, but this little game is an awesome challenge. The larger you set the blinds, the more difficult the players. Nice challenge.

The screen has held up very well with not one scratch. I bought a $9.95 Samsonite leather belt clip holder from WalMart and it works great. It rotates 360 degrees and the phone stays nice and safe and very easy to access without worrying about the phone falling out.

First of all, why would a phone billing itself as a music phone NOT use a 3.5 (standard) mm headphone jack? You cannot find high quality 2.5 mm headphones anywhere and adapters aren’t tiny–defeating any purpose of having a smallish mp3 player. Maybe it’s because they want you to buy their bluetooth headseat. Unfortunately again, that too is wildly awful–people 20 feet away can hear every word that comes out of them, even when the headseat is on your head.

Suppose magically there were good 2.5 mm headphones, what then? Well you’d have to deal with the irritatingly slower playback of the songs than they’re supposed to run. It’s a bit subtle at times, but the songs are definitely slower–using a micro SD card or the phone’s own memory.

You can get small album art images during playback, but I’d rather the song sound the way it’s supposed to.

The phone itself works decently. It’s small and nice looking but the touch sensors react correctly only about 75% of the time, which is actually pretty bad if you think about it. Graphics are great, the camera isn’t. Other than the touch screen, there’s nothing new about this phone and there certainly isn’t anything wonderful.

Please, save your money and pass this info along. I’m returning mine and likely switching to a phone company that provides its customers with better phones.

I then went ahead to see how the entire assembly worked. Again, I tried and tried, but my iPhone just would not fit in the Otter Box. I then called Otter again and it seems the 3G and the 3GS models require different Otter Boxes than the original iPhone – who knew? Again, they would send me the correct model for my 3G iPhone. As I said – nice people.

Upon receiving the new, right size Otter Box, with no protective coating to remove, I cleaned off my iPhone with a micro fiber cloth, put it in the yellow plastic case, put the black rubber cover on it and then I put the entire assembly in the belt holder. Only problem now is that the belt holster doesn’t even the Otter Box in place – it falls right out with no effort whatsoever! I bought the Otter Box because I work in construction and in a shop and I wanted protection for my iPhone. Clearly, if the Otter Box assembly with the iPhone inside falls right out of the holster – what’s the point?

As I mentioned above – very nice people, nice concept, really aggravating product – and lots of wasted time on tip of that.

I ended up buying a cover at the apple store. It was not worth the time and money spent to try and save on buying a cover from Amazon. I would be hesitant to buy from amazon again, since this was my first purchase from them.

Another small issue was you guys have a tendency of packaging item at the bottom of the sale, “People who purchased this also bought this” So I did as well and one of those items was the case for the Nano 4th Generation. Well it didn’t fit, as all those who ordered it will tell you. Any way I gave up trying to get one that does fit. E-mailed you and the seller and the best I got was, “We have it now”, but the shipping is more then the cost of the case. As a result of the two issues, that should have been on you.

I do look at you guys a little differently because of the two bad experiences with this one purchase.

first try – I read the directions, but they didn’t seem right to me so I went about it my own way and it came out horrible.

Second try – Followed the directions, and it had appeared to work, untill I realized that the second tab actually pulled off the screen protector with it, leaving no protector (which I would have had to redo anyway because it pulled it off)

Third try – followed directions, and was more careful with the pulling the tab off. Managed to get it on but had quite a few bubbles still. I managed to get all of one off by using the lint cloth and pushing them to the side and out, and breaking a couple apart with my finger nails.

It’s good for how cheap it is, but if you have more than one iPhone, or this is going to be used for several people buy more than one package.

The latest features of the fifth generation iPod nano are as follows:

- Reduced Price

- Integrated Video Camera

- Upgraded Flash Memory (8GB 16GB)

- Larger Screen (Now 2.2 Inches)

- Microphone

- FM Radio (Only Available On HD Radio Stations In The United States)

- Slightly Longer Battery Life When Watching Videos (Audio: 24 Hours Video: 5 Hours)

By adding a camera to the Nano instead of the Touch it seems the latest upgrades have been designed with the kiddies in mind. Looks like consumers wanting a camera equipped iTouch will have to wait another year at least. Sigh…………….
