Love: Aesthetically, it's a beautiful phone. Looks great, nice feel. Fonts, display, very nice and easy to read. Holds 1000 contacts. Dedicated button for speakerphone, dedicated button for voice activation. Texting has a few nice features that my old phone didn't have such as hit 1 for "." and shift to change case. Also to send the message is one step rather than two. Dislike: - BIG bummer: you can NOT add more than 10 contacts into a Group. - Speakerphone doesn't sound that great. - Earpiece volume is not that great. - When plugging in the adapter for the headset, the little door that covers the jack on the phone gets in the way in between the adapter plug and the phone and makes for a crooked fit. - No count provided for Contact or group list. - Radio buttons for some menu choices rather than numbered choices. (Why scroll when you can just choose 1 for yes, 2 for no, etc.) - Wrist strap hole is poorly placed on upper left of phone. Bottom right would be more practical (for right handers at least) - Phone gets hot after long periods of talking. (Will automatically shut down if it gets too hot, according to the manual.) Overall, despite my many complaints, I really love this phone.Read full review
I don't use the phone for much other than making calls or sending text messages usually only a few a day, however the battery life does not seem to be that great for the limited use. I love the look and feel of the phone, although I'm afraid it can be a little too smooth, as I've almost dropped it several times. I would definitely recommend a case for this phone because it will make it harder to slip out of your hand and also protect it from fingerprints and scratches. The stainless steel look is really really pretty, but be prepared to wipe off the fingerprints constantly. The call quality seems to be really great on the phone. No one has complained about being able to hear me (something that used to happen a lot because I talk softly) and I have not had any problems hearing anyone. I love the easy change to speakerphone with the button and speakerphone is very loud and clear. I also love the button to switch to vibrate mode. On my old phone, a Motorola V220 and I think any other phone I've ever had (mostly Motorolas), I had to turn the ringer all the way down to get to vibrate. But with this button I can just press it to activate vibrate mode and then press it again to switch back to "normal" mode. My biggest problem with the phone was the ringtones. There are work-a-rounds that work great. But a review isn't the place for those. You CAN get your own ringtones however. It's also kind of nice to be able to store MP3s on the phone. I've got a few CDs saved on a 1GB card in the phone and it's nice to be able to listen to when I'm sitting at work or waiting somewhere. The camera quality is great and I love all the options you have when taking pictures. The phone remembers the settings for the next time you activate the camera as well. I haven't played with the camcorder yet so I can' say anything about it. Overall this is probably the best phone I have ever owned. It's a little on the pricey side, but well worth it.Read full review
The VX8700 is slim, smooth to the touch and eye appealing. The color screen is large and bright with good graphics. The phone works well and it syncs wonderfully with the bluetooth system in the newer Toyota Prius. The address book even transfers readily to the car's bluetooth system, a real plus. I purchased a nice slim leather carrying pouch on eBay for half of what it would cost to purchase a leather or plastic holder at the phone store. My only complaint, as is with all flip phones, is that when you pull the phone out of the holder or pouch, it is very easy to grab it by its sides and accidently hit some of the side-mounted buttons. Other than that, it's a great device. One caveat: unlike some plastic phones which can take a beating when dropped, don't drop a metal encased phone unless you want to permanently dent it.Read full review
This phone is probably one of the better ones I've ever had. It's very visually appealing, works well, has a really clear voice quality, long battery life, and with its 2.0 megapixel camera, the pictures are probably the best you can get with a cell phone camera. The only thing that I noticed that was a glitch is that sometimes when I try to send a picture message the phone turns off and then on as soon as I upload the picture to the message. But other than that no complaints.
This phone is very nice and unique. It is well made, the battery is decent and the screen is beautiful. The features are great as well, add the memory card you have a 1st class deal. However, I found using this phone awkward at times because of the rotating screen. It is strange dialing and using for everyday use sometimes but is still nice for texting messaging compared to other standard phones. The rotating screen would be much less of an issue if I had constant access to mobile tv like I used to when I travelled more. Now I am at home more and I have no access to the service so the phone became a little annoying.
