In addition to my review, I tried to find as many reviews on the internet as I could. I located 11, one more elaborate than the other.
What struck me was the number of complete opposites with regard to many features. Some say the camera is lousy, others think it's great. Some say calls are not loud and clear, others marvel at the clarity, etc., etc. It shows you that you basically have to buy the phone that answers your needs and seems pleasing to you, hoping that the features are as good as the manufacturer or the provider want you to believe! Reviews of phones are like reviews of movies: the reviewer likes it or not.

I've had this phone for over a year and I can only say that it is the best I've ever had. Apart from the fact that it is the best looking phone ever put on the market so far, it does everything I want a phone to do. Mind you, I talk about a CELL PHONE. Not a Smartphone, not a PDA, simply a cell phone. The screen is awesome, the sound great, etc. I've read some reviews about the external memory being awkwardly placed behind the battery: so what? How many times do you have to access the card? The phone has to be turned 90 degrees to read the front screen. So what? The "negatives" are so minute, not even worth mentioning. I use the VX8700 also as a music player. With an 8GB card it holds many of my operas. I also have the Jamdat Mah-Jongg game on it and that's about it. Whenever I pull the phone out of its pouch (I think every manufacturer should supply a pouch like this) in front of people, they say: wow, that's a nice phone. Not that their opinion matters, but it shows that I'm not the only one who can marvel about a simple cell phone!

This phone is amazing! You actually feel like you are holding something vs. a plastic phone. It's similar to a RazrV3c, but it's by LG so it's better quality. Get this phone while you can because it's going.....
