Actually they were crazy for making the top screen bigger than the bottom button section! It makes the phone look rather stupid bottom side up. They should have cut back on the screen size to make the phone look more neater and elegant.

Use the provided CD and USB cable. It comes with some nice software for editing mp3's, midi's photos etc and uploading them into the phone (or downloading them from the phone to your box). The software is nice, the MP3's sound GREAT on the phone!!

The base is in fact heavier than the top half. If you set it down in the middle, it will tip down the way it should (base down, screen up). The top half is a little wider than the lower half down towards the end (away from the hinge).
Boring? This phone has a button you push and it filps open on its own... I don't find that boring, actually its been very useful. It has a lot of bells and whistles..
And I am suprised someone is complaing the screen is too big and too bright?? LOL...
This phone is loaded for the price...

I have this phone and I must say the design is just down right terrible. It very big and clumsy. The top part of the flip is larger and heavier than the bottom part making it extremely awkward to hold. The screen is brilliant but honestly I don't see the point of it being so bright and big. Besides the good camera, the phone is just incredibly boring. Did I mention it's a lot bigger and more clumsy looking in rea life?

I believe that most of the people out there that don't even own the phone know it doesn't suck. Quit spamming this review area with BS.
I have had some time to play with my VS7. It isn't perfect... but this is probably the best and "coolest" phone I have owned yet (so far). And I guess I am a phone freak.
I just finally got the Internet and MMS set up last night. Found some settings online for Cingular and now it works!
I'm not sure how I managed to get the dark grey version (but I'm glad). And I don't know if there is any difference between the silver and d.grey ?? I bought it new on Ebay, for about $300 plus shipping. It came with a USA adapter in the box.

This phone just plain sucks, besides the camera and having Sonic installed (yes, like the original one on Genesis :) ) The phone is garbage. Very cheaply made, no extra memory, LAGS almost as bad as the RAZR... for the money, go get yourself a K750i or ANYTHIGN else... for now I like my K700 better.

psmith,
for names and addresses + "things to do" yes...make notes...not too sure...i don't think there's a function on the Panasonic that can do this...i know that the Sony Ericsson phones have this function...tho the Panasonic can record voice memos...
san,
from the Panasonic website...they have a little media section for your VS7...otherwise google is ur friend...
yup...use a audio editor or something similar to normalise the mp3 file and increase the volume, keep an eye on ur sound level meter (if available in the program) so that the bars should constantly be in the red area but not sound distorted through your headphones and it should be loud enough i think...
not sure coz mine didn't ship with a cd...but it's useful if you want to connect ur fone 2 ur computer via a USB cable...

Thinking about buying the VS7.
I like to store names and addresses, write "things to do" on specific days and to also make notes too.
Is this easy to do on this phone.
Thanks,
Paul.

in terms of camera, i think it's pretty close to what u see irl...the K750i's camera is probably slightly clearer in terms picture quality due to the autofocus system..but the VS7's not bad for wot it can do...if you want the best camera on a mobile atm u'd have to look @ the Sharp 903SH...

Andbern,
yes the colours of the phone really do depict what you see with the naked eye imho...the colours on the phone's screen are really really nice...it kicks any mobile screen out there that i've used or seen so far in terms of colour reproduction...I have tested the N90 prior to buying this but it was way 2 big for my liking plus it lacked a vibra-alert which was odd for a Nokia...in terms of size that thing was a beast, about the size of my old SE P910i when it was closed....i mean it was prolly a good phone cept the i didn't like the size...now for the W800i (i also owned the K750i prior to this fone and now my sister's taken it off me)...it has a great camera, memory slot and awesome bluetooth connectivity (which is expected from SE)....only problems were the screen's a tad small and the speaker's not very loud....the vs7's back being smaller than the front does annoy me a tad bit but u get used to it after a while not really a big issue there...

Majestic, about those pics you took, in your honest opinion , not just cos its your phone, do the colours on the phone actually depict what you see with the naked eye?

Thanks majestic for the quick reply, i saw the .iso thing on the pana website *5 : http://panasonic.co.jp/pmc/products/en/vs7/specifications.html
Also does it bother you at all that when you look at the phone from the bottom the flip is bigger then the back? Lastly have you tried any other competing mobile that is currently out at the moment and how does it compare ( mainly with n90 and w800) the reason i ask all these questions is cos i really want to get the best mobile i can possibly get , i dont really care about features other than a kick ass camera and bluetooth hehe

hum...maybe what nx said is true...maybe I just got a bad copy of this phone. or maybe my last phones volume is too high..Lol...or maybe this phone just sux..I don't know...but anyways..this is my first time buying Panasonic phone and the result is..Never again..Lol...I ain't no Pana hater or Samsung lover. I try all kind of brand for the fun of it and test them. I find this phone's price is a lil too expensive for the value. If u guys love it...good for u.....and Larry...I think u need help. some kind of therapy. maybe u got the super hearing hears...or maybe u live in the village where there's no surrounding noise or something..Lol (oh yea..I wasn't talking about the ear piece..I was talking about the speaker volume)

Great phone(camera, and other specifications )!! But i think that phone needs more space (just 38Mb, it is very little for our needs nowdays).

inez...
the keypad backlight is a white type of colour...u can see it in my photo here : http://www.users.on.net/~kylori/Misc/Other/Mobile%20Phone%20stuff/Panasonic%20VS7/Panasonic%20VS7%20keypad%20(dark).jpg
and no there is no miniSD expansion slot...
Andbern...
this phone DOES have bluetooth but no memory expansion. the VS7 and MX7 are more or less exactly the same fones...only the MX7 is thicker and last longer coz it has a higher capacity battery...and yes u just get ur mp3's from ur PC and put it directly to the fone...i don't kno where u got the idea that it needs 2 be an image .iso file from but that's not the case...just simply copy the mp3 on2 the fone and select it as the ring tone...

oh , one more thing is it possible to take mp3 straight from my computer and set them as tones or do i have to first convert them to .iso files?
