Toys and Games Reviews of Vtech - V.Smile Pocket Learning System
Customer Review: Sure, Come Out With This After V-Smile...
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, my son has the V-Smile and like 6 games. Yes, he loves it - plays it every day. Yes, it's actually teaching him things.
So why am I irked that I'm buying him the Pocket version? BECAUSE, the Pocket can also be used on the T.V., so basically I paid for that feature twice: once for the original, once for the Pocket. You just KNOW they had the design and product ready before the started selling the original unit, so I just feel a bit [...]. Whatever.
This is not stopping me from buying the Pocket unit, mainly because it's so darn useful for trips and visits and all that. Truth to tell, he gets sick of DVDs after a while, and no amount of songs on an iPod will keep him interested. But these games do, so...
One thing: vTech, you had best keep the games coming for at least 3 more years (when he'll most likely upgrade to a DS like his mother), or you'll be hearing from me.

Customer Review: Great toy for ages 2-5...we've had ours for two kids
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this when my oldest daughter (now almost 7 years old) was 3. She actually had the video game console version first and then we bought the pocket system since it was portable. My second daughter often wanted to play it but didn't quite understand (she's 2 1/2 now) but around Christmas, she was able to play it (after getting a V-Motion for Christmas, which can also play these games). I love that I can use the same games on three different gaming systems. And, we've had ours for over three years of PLENTY of dropping! My eldest got a Nintendo DS for Christmas; this is nothing like that (and the only thing I don't like is that there is no pen...but I think my almost 3 year old would not be able to use the redesigned Pocket that has a tethered pen since it's not used on the actual screen). Anyway, great toy, very durable, though sounds like others have had a bad one in the mix.Customer Review: Glad it didn't live up to the poor reviews!

I bought this in July of 08 and wanted to wait to write my review to make sure I left an honest one. I found this on sale for [...] at target. I got it for my daughters 4th bday because she loved her big vsmile. I never buy without researching, so I was heart broken when I got home and read all the bad reviews on amazon. I just knew mine was going to be riddled with defects.
I'm glad to report over one year later and this thing is still going. It is a tank! We also have a 3, 2 at the time, boy. It has been thrown, dropped, water poured on it and taken on at least 10 road trips. We own all the games and my kids just love it! They'd rather play it than the big one on TV. Don't hesitate to buy this! I've decided that when this one finally does die I will purchase another one because it is priceless to me and my children!
Customer Review: Great idea, terrible product
Summary: 1 Stars
A couple years ago I purchased the TV version of this, along with about 15 games. The system did not work, so I took it back for a new one. That still did not work right, so I purchased the hand held version. That one had a short in it, so I took it back for a second one. That one worked for maybe 3 or 4 minutes at a time (after you spent 10 minutes trying to get it to work), so I sent it in for a new one. My 3rd one (and 5th V Smile system) still does not work right - it still acts like it has a short in it, like the others I had. I have spent literally hours trying to get these to work - with no luck. My kids are dying to play all these great games, but we can't get any system to work. I would NEVER purchase this product - I have spent a bunch of time andmoney on this and my children have gotten zero play time out of it.Customer Review: Vtechs customer service stinks

We bought this toy in October O8 for my grandson for Christmas. I took it out to put batteries in it and it blue screened. It did not work at all. So I went through the trouble shooting and then called Vtech on December 9 08. They said they would send a call tag to pick up the game and when they get it back they will ship me a new one. Well today is the 16th and still no call tag. I called again today because there is no way a new one will be here by Christmas if I have to wait for them to get me a tag and wait for it to get to them before they ship UPS ground for Christmas. It's their policy they keep saying. Then I asked to talk with the supervisor and was told the Sup would call me at 5:30 central time today. No such call happened. I am fed up with this company and will no longer buy their products.
