Rhapsody; purchase full songs over-the-air and download the master copy of
the songs to their PCs free of digital rights management software; sync

Rapture VU30 using an optional USB cable (sold separately); plus use
compatible Bluetooth-enabled stereo headsets or the phone's 2.5 mm headset
jack to listen to music. The phone also has a dedicated shutter button for
the 2.0 megapixel camera with enhanced imaging and video capture, and
audible turn-by-turn directions with VZ NavigatorSM capabilities to locate
directions, businesses and other places of interest. The expandable memory
of up to 8 GB via the microSD(TM) port gives customers the ability to store
their favorite songs and pictures on their phones.
