I received the Hollywood about a week ago and it’s been great so far. I got the Overload package($20/mo), 50 texts ($5/mo.), and a $50 rebate for the phone. I also picked up a Scala-500 Bluetooth headset (from a friend).

The phone is larger than my old one (Sprint Sanyo 8200), but thinner so it’s not too bad. Wish it had an antenna stub instead of the pull-out, but signal strength rarely changes with it in or out. Sound quality has been excellent despite readings of only 1 signal bar in some places (my office) while using the handset, bluetooth or the speakerphone. Nobody has even been able to tell I’m on the speakerphone yet, which surprises me. Coverage seems fine, but I’ve only tested it in the Seattle area . . .
