Jeff meister, what's happening bud?
The i 1000 rules dude, get it.  I've had mine for almost 4 months, and it
is by far the best phone i've ever had.
It works great.
Once you learn the keyboard commands, they are easy.  The main menus are
accessed by the star key and the pound key, and several different
combinations.
Any questions, email me off list, and i'll help ya out.

                Lata bud,
