Ok, so I used to have a Motorola T720 (one of the worst phones made), and a Motorola Timeport 8767 (One of the best phones ever made). I needed a new phone and ventured into the local Verizon Wireless store. I happen upon the LG VX7000 and think...this thing is huge! I don't need a camera in my phone...but then I pick it up and play around with it. It's pretty comfortable to hold. The screen is nice, bright and clear. I wind up purchasing one from VZW online and when the phone arrives, I put it to the test.This phone so far for me has been terrific! The phone itself is a tad larger than my last T720 but not by much...the main LCD is a nice bright TFT screen. Included are some wallpapers, 3 "real" pics(A Sunset scene, an island scene, and a group of people scene), a Verizon Logo wallpaper and a few "doodle type" cartoony pics. You can change the settings for the display easily, as the UI for this LG is much better than my old Moto. The front LCD is nice enough...you can also set a wallpaper here or use a pic taken from the camera to use as a picture ID when that person calls.Ringtones...kinda forgettable (I am beginning to think cell phone providers tell phone makers to make some pretty useless ringers so you download decent ones). You can however, record your own which sound surprisingly good with the internal mic, as well as download them from Verizon's Get It Now Brew service. You can also, use MP3's as ringtones through a little trick. One think I like...this phone is loud!! I can hear it ringing in a crowded shopping mall even. The vibrate feature works well enough and can be activated quickly (though this requires you to flip open the phone).The camera is located where the "hinge" of the flip would be and rotates so you can snap a pic of yourself without contorting your face and arms to face the lens. You can also change some pic settings like black and white and sepia tones, etc. The camera is quite decent for a VGA cell phone camera. There is a flash though this is rather useless except for close up pics. The camera also lets you take 15 sec video clips which you can save and email to your friends. While I figured I'd never use this feature, I have twice already. The advantages of having the camera/video in something you always carry is quite nice...it's fine for candid moments and though your friends might know you have a camera phone, they won't probably guess you're video recording them. :DThe call quality is nice,loud, and clear...much better than my old cell phone. Battery life for me has been approx. 5 days with light usage and charges in a little over 2 hrs. Mind you, the old "blue versions" of this phone had a charging plug near the data port...the new "black face" ones charge straight through the data port.The holster that came with mine (the black vx7000) was great...solid and not cheapy like some phones are. Notice that the face of the phone flashes colored led's near the "flash" when you receieve a call or are making one...some like it some don't.I like the phone and it's size is deceptive. Tonight I showed it to a friend and she said, "that thing is huge!"..then we compared it to her Panasonic camera phone and she noticed...hers was bigger lol. This is one of Verizon's best cell phones right now...highly recommended.
