The others led-colors are blue, yellow and pink. In the VS3, they are 6 colors (primary colors and secondary colors). (Excuse for my poor english, I'm french !)

I can't manage to do it!

OK, I'm back just a few hours after my post below, and I am in TEARS...OF JOY! I finally got the USB Driver for this phone to work, and when it does, BOY IS IT A FUN PHONE! Transferring photos and more takes but seconds! I got my money's worth I think now. The trick is to download the updated software from Panasonic's website, install the driver located in the folder "2000" from it first, then after your driver is installed, let WindowsXP prompt you to find the install.exe, which you install normally (my phone was plugged in this time, just for reference) and then the Handset Manager is installed along with the driver! It's miraculous and I cannot stop sharing all of my wonderful photos!
Battery life (to the people below) hasn't been an issue for me yet (I've only had it for barely 2 days), but I noticed that when I only let it charge for 1 hr, it still lost power quite quickly after a few minutes of use. Still, if I had let it charge for 5 hours, I'm sure it'd be great for my 9 - 12 hour days.

I just got this phone yesterday and it took me five hours to figure out how to configue the MMS settings for T-Mobile USA (using internet resources and guessing skills with the phone). I was very impressed at first, but slowly that wore off. The USB Cable they give you is great--IF IT WORKS with the driver from the CD installation. Unfortunately for me, the Panasonic CD included does not install the Panasonic VS3 USB Driver perfectly every time and this results in 1) not being able to send larger sounds or photos to your phone (any pic is sized to a minute 96 pixels wide!) 2) not being able to take the large, pretty photos off of your phone to your computer (when you send them via MMS to e-mail, they are shrunken to 640x480), and 3) just a pain in the neck because you cannot sync contacts, etc. I knew that getting a phone not specifically made for the US had its risks, but if I cannot enjoy the 1.3 megapixel camera on this phone, why did I pay so much money? This phone is no MP3 player, but I had hoped to have nice ringtones and pretty displays along with a fun Contacts interface...so far, I've only gotten one of my wishes. I am considering buying the infrared cord because the USB Driver will not work with the given software (though Windows XP recognizes that it's being plugged in). Perhaps the instability is a ploy to get us to use Panasonic Box in order to buy their tunes and wallpapers for overpriced dollars??
The best things: Contacts interface is great, sending MMS or SMS is a breeze, color is AMAZING, buying the white model gives you a total of 3 faceplates (white, blue w/ grey flower design on side, black), MIDI (and the pre-installed MMF/MP3) sound crystal clear
The worst things: When you use the non-standard earphones, you'll notice that there is no bass really; Inability to receive large files despite having more than enough space through MMS; Inability to send large files to e-mail addresses; Ridiculously non-working USB Driver for Windows XP is inexplicable and makes this product VERY OVERPRICED, 10-second-playback for MMS/SMS alerts limit.
I only have 10% regrets about getting this phone. I liked it without the external display, but now I feel like I should've gotten a phone with a miniSD option just to have access to putting files on my phone. If you don't want this pain, get the VS7.

Hello guys! I see there's a bit of controversy on this model... I'd like to know from several oppinions how lomg does the battery stay alive (no nights swtched off).
Secondly: is it reasonable to pay $150 for a brand new one (from the shop)?
Thanx!

Thanks VICT. Been having this phone for about 5 days. I cannot part myself from it and im not really a phone person but this phone really kick ass.
Well, it depends on your needs. If you need to have mp3 player or you depend on this phone to take pictures or bluetooth is a MUST for this phone then i suggest you not to buy it.
This phone doesnt act well as an MP3 player, need an mp3 player? Buy the real one.
The camera is good but maybe not for those who wanna get very fine quality pictures.
Bluetooth is widely use by people but i dun see a need for bluetooth cos i've never asked someone for a ringtone, video etc from their phone. I can use the cable to transfer ringtones or uploading pictures. For singaporeans, since they didnt include the cable in the box you can go best denki and get the cable.. its the same one used for X800 model..
Now i have a sexy black phone that i dun wanna part with! Hope my review can be useful to some..
Adios.

HUDA; if you use some extended character for your sms, even its a very short message you'll be sending 2 or more sms. Try retyping as what you've done and check the sms counter after inserting extended character instead of the normal letters and you'll see that the sms counter jumps down in an instant. Hope this might help.
