 Good phone... kind of June 3, 2007

I owned an LG VX6100 before this one and was happy with it. I've had this new 8700 for about a week, and I'm probably going to return it. I'm thinking of going with an LG VX5300. This phone isn't for me. I want phones that conform to the shape of my hand. This phone does just the opposite. My only complaint is really the overall design of the phone. The metallic shell is beautiful, but it's a bit prone to smudges. The external screen is extremely difficult to see in the sunlight and I can barely check the time. Its SD card slot is located behind the battery, so that's a huge pain to handle. Also, this keypad is horrible. Obviously, it was designed so the phone could be thin. I can barely text message without pressing wrong keys and making mistakes.
On a lighter side, the phone has a tremendous amount of features like bluetooth, USB mass storage, mp3 player, 2.0 MP camera etc. But, it's still hard for me to handle, and I prefer a more rounded phone with well-shaped keys and an easier-to-use menu.
 My first with verizon May 29, 2007

This is my first time with Verizon and I have absolutely no issues with the phone. All I have to say are mostly Pro's about it however, there are a few cons:
1. The memory card slot is under the battery so you have to take it out to access your card.
2. It's pretty heavy since its all metal and chrome
3. The speaker for music sometimes doesn't sound good (scratchy noise)
Other than those, the phone is amazing!
It's beautiful. . . May 23, 2007

After a bitter tasting experience with the Chocolate, I now have this phone, and it hasn't failed to impress. The metallic nature gives it some weight, but considering it's so slim, that's probably a good thing. It doesn't seem intent on flying out of my pocket like previous, lighter phones. The sound quality is excellent, and the quality of the sound over the platronics 640 BT headset is exponentially better than the chocolate. In fact, this phone is the least crippled bluetooth (that i've seen) verizon offers. On my Mac I can send and retrieve files from my phone using the OSX's built in blutooth file browser. Handy. The front display is not complicated and is a bit difficult to see in the sunlight. But that is about the only thing I don't like about it. Battery life, reception, all the phone features themselves are great. The internal screen is wonderful, bright and crisp making reading news or email on the mobile web tolerable.
Best phone I've owned. May 8, 2007

I've owned many phones, with many carriers, and this is the best phone I've ever owned. It is by far the best looking phone too. It's just a great phone. It isn't perfect, but I've never seen a phone that was. Here are some quick observations. The sound quality is very good, but not as loud as some other phones. The speaker phone is average. Not the best, not the worst. RF is very good. Battery life with the standard battery is good. The inside screen is the nicest I've ever seen, although tough to see in direct sunlight. The Flash UI themes are much better than the standard Verzion UI. Ring tones are not very loud. Loud enough for me, but some people wish they were louder. Charge port is on the side and not the bottom. This makes it a little more difficult to talk and charge the phone at the same time. No external MP3 controls, and playback on external speaker is fair at best. Camera is excellent. Amazon's current description states the camera is 1.3MP, but it is 2.0MP.
...11/13/2007 Note: A new firmware update has been released, and it is supposed to fix some issues. It is available at most Verizon Stores.
