The v804ss is a great phone, however there is room for improvement… An addition .mp3, .wmv, .avi, .mov, .flv format reader or optional converter software, external hard drive, an external wifi receiver and the ability to change browers (IE, Firefox, Opera, etc.). Wifi would allow for internet acces in available areas for free no doubt! The external HD will allow for visits to web pages that are larger than than what the standard browser can handle and to save all your data. No need to explain the need for better browsers.
