Welcome to TmoNews!

Last Question, because this is a phone i'll be considering when I buy/Upgrade to a new phone in July-September period. How is the IM client on it? I heard it's horrible, is that true?

I am sorry that I am just getting to this.  The IM client isn't anything to talk about.  I used it once or twice and wasn't happy either time.  First off, it uses 3g so it wastes the battery like no other.  I feel like they could get the same result with edge.  It usually isn't a great idea to use a touchscreen phone as a messaging phone either.  It is always nice to have a keyboard keyboard for IM.  I wouldn't say its horrible, but it could be worse.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it

not a problem, anytime.  I am here to help.

Just a note - I should be getting my zagg invisible shield soon, I will post again with how it works!

ZAGG Invisible Shield Update


Took about 30 minutes to carefully install.  I found the process relatively simple, I just like to take my time.  This wasn't my first experience with a zagg though, and won't be my last.  I have some small complaints.  I chose the full body Zagg, and due to the complexity of the memoir (in comparison to an iphone) there are quite a few pieces.  Overall, it fits nicely, but the pieces could be bigger and the side pieces could be wider so as to cover all of the metal.  I was thinking that you could probably get away with just the front piece since the whole body is not really scratch prone (Protecting that screen really was the most important thing to me).  There is an added surprise though.  The back loos shinier and feels more like the iphone 3gs back with the zagg on it. 

Just some hints - Remove the cutouts for the lock button, toggle switch and red eye light (on the back).  You can then chose to put them on if you want (except for the light one because that will mess with quality) but I chose not to because the pieces looked bad.
