If you like the form factor of the Surround I would recommend it highly.

ok heres my thing since my HTC Tanager, i love watching movies and vids on my phone from the Tanager to the XDA Mini to my HD2 and i want the thing as loud as possible not to use the headset but the loudspeaker and i use PocketDIVX to increase the native volume of the stuff i put on my phone loud enough but not to distort, simply because im a DOUCHE when it comes to it, i wait in line in a fastfood watching movies or anywhere i have to wait in line for(except for the bank coz ive had a couple of run ins with bank security) and i do want them as loud as possible i live in the philippines but im in california right now, to say not a lot of people have smartphones yet is an understatement considering most people still own Nokia or SE phones that dont even have GPRS, so when i go home n august i wana have a surround for the same old douchie reason that i can watch movies on my phone without needing any speakers

i have tried it out in ATT stores and i like the solid feel and i really dont care about amoled

I have a Surround and i'm on the fourth one. If you want loud this is a great phone but if your going for an all around good phone I would go for Android. Maybe im just unlucky but im very disappointed with this phone.
