Query: Poor picture quality.....speakerphone issue

I bought this phone in January when I was trying to find a quality picture phone for my job. From the many online reviews I had read, the V300 seemed to fit the bill. Well, I would not recommend buying this phone for its picture taking capability, as I find it to be well below average. I did not realize just how poor the picture quality was until my brother-in-law visited and we compared phones. He has a Samsung VGA1000 picture phone with Sprint PCS. The picture quality difference in these two phones is like night and day. The Samsung phone pictures are much sharper and have better color than the V300. I also find the speakerphone function of the V300 frustrating, as you cannot activate it until a few seconds after the other party answers, not when it starts ringing. If you are looking to buy this phone for picture quality, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
