The 42" was just the right size for me.  I used to think bigger is better and it would not have been that much more to get the 50", but I am glad I didn't.  — This TV is heavy so have friends there to help and buy the heavy duty mount if you plan to mount it on the wall. — This is one purchase you won't regret! —...

I drive a lot of different cars for my job including other minivans and I would rate this one the best. Even when fully loaded you are not struggling to get up to highway speeds. Also, even the starter models have a dvd player. Anyone with kids can appreciate that. My in fairly well equipped. It is the LS model and has the dual power doors. I wish I had onstar and traction control. Mine is a 2005 and I plan on driving it as far as it will take us. We are at 50,000 mile right now and have had no mechanical problems. ...

It does what I need it to, which usually just means making phone calls. I like the large screen and the Bluetooth has come in hand a couple of times. I would like to have a camera, but I guess you have to give something up to get a phone this durable. It is covered in rubber and has taken a couple of falls from waist level. It seems like it will last the two years until I qualify for a new... Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:27:46 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Sanyo-SCP-7050-Cell-Phone-review-afcf OmahaNative 4
