Unlike some of the reviewers here on this board, I've owned a Sanyo vm4500 for almost two months, and I agree with everything the Amazon official reviewer says about the phone. It's absolutely the best phone out there right now. Some say the new Toshiba video phone (also for SPRINT PCS) is better, but to me the Toshiba looks a bit too big and bulky, and you just don't feel the word &quot;fun&quot; when you look at it, vs. the cutie looks of the vm4500.As a cellular phone this one gets top-notch reception. I live on the outskirts of Cambridge but I get four full bars all the time, and a coworker also loves its reception out in Lexington, where Verizon and AT&amp;T (worst service) tend to fade out quickly. I understand Verizon has better nationwide coverage overall, but for me SPRINT is good and this phone does a faby job of keeping connected.I won't list the amazing number of power features you get with this phone. The user interface is amazingly intuitive, and you gotta love the bright screen! The buttons are easy to push and are backlit for evening usage. The pictures are not Canon S400 like but pretty decent for a camera phone. And, of course, the video clips! Only 15 seconds, but this is absolutely a God-send when you have little kids and you don't want to carry a camcorder or bother with video editing later.This is a totally cool phone that makes everyone drool when they see it.
