... if you need the best reception possible the V710 is a great choice. I bought this phone because my LG VX6000 (also Verizon) couldn't hold a call for more than 30 seconds in my office. I liked my LG and it worked great most everywhere else but I was hoping to get a phone that I could at least hold brief conversations with in my office without constant dropped calls. Well, I have used the V710 for several hours now in my office without a single dropped call. If it had better battery life I would easily give it 5 stars. Great phone!
