I have the newest choc as well. I have the orig. one...total junk! Broke so many times Verizon gave me the new choc as soon as it came out. *yay for verizon*
Ive had it since Sept 07- not a bad phone. as someone already stated, the buttons are kinda small and if a large fingered person is using it, good luck!!
I am due for a new phone in Aug myself. I like all the reviews on various phones, I have no idea what I want to venture off to next.
Good luck with phone shopping
