VK Mobile seems like a very flashy company to us, what with their fashion-over-function ethos, their, shall we
say,
liberal
"borrowing" of design elements from some of the sexier phones on the market, and who could forget the
airbrushed nude models that they employed to hawk their products at CeBIT this year? We think PC Mag would agree that
the company's quad-band GSM VK2020 musicphone -- that, like the models, we also
spotted
at CeBIT -- falls in line with this assessment, as their review highlights the handset's RAZR- and SLVR-killing
thinness and "wow factor," but knocks it on nearly every aspect important to people who actually like their
stuff to function properly. Among the laundry list of flaws reported are this model's small, dim screen, barely
acceptable MP3 and call audio quality, lack of even EDGE-speed data, sub-four-hour battery life, limited filetype
support, and flaky Bluetooth connection. Still, PC Mag's Sascha makes a good point when he compares the VK2020 to a hot
date, in that you're a lot more likely to accept its faults just because it looks so damn good. If you're the type that
rushed out to buy LG's silly
Style-i non-hands-free, non-headset
Bluetooth headset when it
became available
from Verizon this week, then you'll probably be just fine with forking over $400 to Dynamism in order to sport one
of today's hotter-looking imports.

really? wow just about everyone who bought it at HoFo says it works pretty well and has incredible reception... hmm strange
Are you looking at the same Hofo thread I'm looking at? The 9 page thread titled "VK2020" describes very mixed results.
Perhaps not, I hadn't looked at the actual thread, just what some other people said in the other forums (lounge)
Does VK have another similar model I may be thinking of?
Hmm guess I should've done my research :/
VK has a lot of similarly numbered/named phones.
When I say "mixed" I mean it. Some people seem to have had great experiences. Others are frustrated. As a reviewer, I can only talk about what I saw in my tests. I have pretty high standards for RF, though.
Here's the HoFo thread, which will give you a great picture of the whole situation:
