I recently got this phone as a free upgrade (after a rebate) and am very impressed. For me it's greatest assets are it's voice command and speaker phone features. Properly mounted, it works great in the car as a hands free communication device. The fact that it can "read" all the names in it's phonebook, and dial the number at your request is amazing - no more scrolling around to find the number you want. Using the camera feature is easy, and the picture quality is OK for a 3x5 photo. FYI - you can purchase some nifty aftermarket software from Susteen called Datapilot that can get those photos off the vx6100 for free. I've used the software and it works well, but make sure to purchase the computer cable from Susteen also - I had trouble using another manufacturer's cable with the datapilot program. Reception has been great, as is sound quality. The speakerphone volume is good, but not great.The only problem I've found with the phone are the side buttons, that can be accidentally pushed even when the phone is closed. This can activate the "Driving" (speakerphone) mode and result in an earsplitting event if you answer a call without realizing what mode the phone is in.All in all, an amazing phone for the price.
