Well, I don't like its size I would prefer some phone with more features, something running on Win Mobile for Pocket PC. But if you don't need something like that, VX-9800 is pretty good choise !

this phone is only good if it is open. the screen on the outside is to small to see anything on. the phone is also a pretty large phone. most v-cast phones have lots of great v-cast games but this phone only has a couple. this phone looks great in pictures but worse in person. hopfuly verizon will put out better messaging phones for the holidays.

I just purchased the phone and I am very happy with the phone. You have people who prefer a certain type of phone, so there will always be complaints about a design, but the phone is a very good phone as a whole. The main screen on the inside has amazing color clarity and the MP3 player is outstanding. Some complain about the screen outside being to small, well it was designed like that for a reason. It may not be for a person who has poor vision I guess. I don't see anything wrong with the phone aside from it's bulkiness. But, the phone has a lot to offer so I can't Imagine squeezing all those features into anything smaller.

This is the third Vcast phone I have purchased (Audiovox 8940, Motorola E815) and they all offered about the same number of VCAST games. Maybe your phone was jacked up or something. I guess there is a phone out there for everyone and this one is just not for you. I have had several phones that cost about the same as this one and I think this is a very good phone.

this phones size is actually not that big...when i saw it in person i was like wow i thought it'd be bigger like the sidekick but i think it is relatively small.....maybe a lil thick but thats about it. great phone but not if your looking for like a pda its not a smartphone its great for entertainment like pics videos messaging etc. this is the best fone verizon ever released by far

thank you all for butting your info on this phone. i my self looking to get this phone because i like the idea able to take pictures ( because i am a photographer ) but i also love you can play MP3 and go on line and see your e-mail or chat with messager like the SIDEKICK.

but like am 1 i don't want to buy the phone and have to pay for ever thing to use it. SO do you have to pay for the MP3 if so now much does it come out and how many sounds can you hold. also as for the pictures what is the biggers it can go to be able to print it and what size will that be. i am sure to use the internet i have to pay but to use MESSAGER or E-MAILS how much will it come out to a MONTH. thats pretty much it i am looking for a phone that is a IPOD, SIDEKICK, and DIGITAL CAMERA all in 1 and i heard this 1 was the so far the best.

if any 1 can help me out please have me know can e-mail me at intopics2000@yahoo.com if you have this phone want to hear from you please

I got this phone and it is really nice but i do have a couple problems issues... i only had it for 2 days so im sure i just didnt figure sum thigns out but if anyone knows the solutions to these that would be great...

(1) Taking Pictures, when i take pictures and set it as walpaper there is no way to crop it like in older lg phones to make it fill up the whole screen. what is up with that!?

(2) In older LG's i could record sounds using the voice memo and set them as alerts and ringtones....this one i cannot!! I even tried sending myself the sound and then trying to set it as a ringtone but thats didnt work either, i just dont feel like giving verizon $2.99 a ringtone.

(3) I have ordered a mini sd card, but not sure how the playing of mp3's will work...and can u set the mp3's on the sd card as ringtones?

i knows i have more questions but cant think of them....

I just recently purchased this phone as well.. and like a previous poster.. i have a few concerns

PROPLEMS
1. There is no voice recorder..
2. There is no way to talk on speaker phone unless the phone is open..
3. The phone does not vibrate then ring... (its only vibrate or ring)
4. Pictures dont crop and dont fill the entire screen (i think it might have something to do with the resolution)
5. ringtones cost way to much... whatever happend to .99C
6. There are hardly any custom options (i think there are 4 or 5 color options)
7. The instant messager doesnt recignize all your buddies that are online... it says they are signed off when they arent

COOL THINGS
1. The camera is the best quality ive seen on a phone yet.. by far
2. The internet is pretty quick... and farely inexpensive
3. The memory card thing is cool (sopposedly you can download all your music onto it tv shows whatever and watch them through your phone... you are also sopposed to be able to use the songs as ringtones??? i havent tried it yet though
4. The qwerty keyboard is awsome... you can type so fast on it..
5. If you are into what people think... youll get a lot of compliments

OVERALL-
im pretty happy with my phone... there are some options that irritate me or (the lack of) and i would say if you are willing to spend between 350-500 for this phone maybe you should jump up to a PDA phone... but it isnt much bigger then a nextel and about the same size of a nextel if you include the antena... sooo... thats my take on it so far... i hope that helps out a little

1. Your Wrong there is a voice recorder. from front screen hold the button above END CALL with the face down for 3 sec.

2. NOT a big deal.

3. Your wrong again, MENU > SETTING TOOLS > SOUNDS > CALL SOUNDS > CALL VIBRATE.

4. WRONG>....to take pictures to fill the screen take pictures with the phone open.

5. so download BITPIM and make your own.

6. cust0m wallpaper inculde setting flix as wallpaper, custom tones for each caller, PICTURE/FLIX id

if ur gonna post, get ur fact straight....want better answers and get better help? join the boatd on phoneschoop.com.

the thing that's bad about it that you can't crank up the tunes and is bulky but' i'm still getting it!
