I have it and LOVE it. My mom has the 4500 (or is it the 4400)......and I love mine MORE. I have not one single complaint (ok, other than a tiny itsy bitsy one about if its very sunny out, I cannot see the screen when I open it). Oh, actually, I have had to take the battery off and put it back on 3 times since I bought the phone about 3 months ago. I have no idea why I had to do that but it seems other 4600 owners had to also. No information/phone #s were lost but when I went to use the phone (which I always keep on), the screen was dark, and phone was shut off. If I tried to turn it on, nothing happened. As soon as I removved my battery then put it back again and powered it up, it turned on with same about of battery life as before. Its bizare.

The ringers are fine, and loud. The screen is clear and colorful. Battery life is about 5-6 days if I dont use it heavily (which surprised me as my old phone got that battery life and my old phone was not color;others who reviewed it said the battery life was not that great which I have not found that to be true; I had the Samsung 530 for 3 days and ret'd it b/c the battery life was horrendous...this phone beats it 100 fold). It charges fast. It is very light and very slim. Pretty good reception. Loud earpiece. Not one dropped call. I can use it on the train in NYC much more often than my old motorola. I would 'buy'/choose it again in a second. I did a tremendous amt of research on it. I was NOT interested in having a camera on my phone.

I got it free with the NE2 (when they only sold it online). It came with a free extra case/soft belt clip and a headset which is actually quite good. No one can tell if I am on the head set or phone. Seems that 'deal' ran out though a while back.
