I got my memoir about 8 months ago, I am a photographer on the side and I was in between cameras when I got this. I had the Sidekick Slide before which was great for texting and yahoo messenger, but needed something less glitchy and had a great camera. The Memoir is great but it lacks in the messenger department, I type fast and several paragraphs as well as my friends do since we are all tech geeks that can't stand to hyphenate every damn word. The screen is too small to read while chatting... But the camera makes up for that. Its great for taking pics on the fly and Ive also done some stock photos with it as well. I'm impressed... But I wish you could browse the web and answer texts without having to exit, OH and delete those damn stock photos they put on there. Only a few I would keep but I want my screen saver to be of my choice. I'm gonna search around here to see if any of you have cracked that.
