"Great small, light basic cell phone"
Pros: Excellent sound quality, thin profile fits in my Jeans watch-pocket, nice keypad feel.
Cons: Finger-print magnet, that's about it.
Summary: I wanted to find a phone that I could use simply as a phone - I have an iPod, I have a GPS unit, I have several cameras. I wanted a phone that would allow me to be able to call and be called. I also wanted a phone that my 84 year old Dad could use and understand. The VX 5500 seems to fit the bill. The sound quality is better than my previous two phones. IF the 5500 could have a slightly textured finish it would improve my grip, and if they could do something about they would reduce the size of the high-gloss area on the outside the fingerprint issue would evaporate. Realistically, I don't care about the fingerprints, but they are quite noticeable. For anyone looking for a basic, easy to use, great sounding phone, I recommend the VX5500.
