I like this HT a lot. I've only had it for about a week though now.
The only things I really don't like is the belt-clip. It seems like it's going to break for sure. It's not as smooth to remove as on my VX-170. I don't know why they removed the ramps on the swivel piece for the 7R. I know it's not just mine because both my father and I bought these (2) units at the same time and both have the same type of clip and the same "SNAP!" when you rotate it 180 degrees to disengage the lock.
Also, the buttons are somewhat difficult to push. You have to push down hard.
Otherwise I'm very happy with it. It was worth the money in my opinion. It would have been nice had they included the barometric pressure sensor as standard though. That just seemed cruel to have it as an add-on. :rolleyes:
