After reading all sorts of reviews I decided to get this phone for my wife. She has a harder time seeing the displays on smaller screens and I thought the color and larger screen would help.Comparing it to the LG VX6100 that I got, the resolution and clarity was about the same. On this phone, I liked the way the camera could rotate. It looked kind of boxy and square but my wife was going to keep it in her purse so looks didn't really matter much. It had big number keys and the menus were easy to navigate.However, this phone was a bit bigger and chunkier than my VX6100. Also, I found the reception on this phone wasn't as good. It could be that it only shows 4 bars for a full strength signal whereas other phones I've had show 5-6 bars.Even so, when we would call from our house, the reception was noticeably worse with the VX7000. We also had problems with echoing. We would call the same number with the VX6100 and have great reception and no echo. Go figure!As a result, we returned this phone and purchased the VX6100.All in all this is a decent phone, although on the larger size. With the technology changing so rapidly and phones getting smaller, you'd do better off getting a newer phone.
