i cant wait till they make a leather case for it so i can put it on my belt

i hope this can help u out later morris

I have one myself and love it, If your looking for a case for it I use the PDASIDEPOUCH that they sell at verizon, It's a little bit bigger than the phone but it is a nice fit. I would tell you to go and check it out at a VZW store near you.

Does anyone know if it will be picked up by other carriers? I love the phone, but Verizon's 10 cent text messaging fee is a bit heavy for me. Sorta defeats the whole purpose of a QWERTY keyboard in my opinion.

that is why.. they have text messaging plans.

You can't hang your "chubby" on your belt unless the case is made from a corpse? What a @#$@ tool.

So far the reviews I have read say this phone is great. I currently have the discontinued LG VX 6000 model. The thing still works great but I'd like to have email capabilities too and your average web surfing for movie times and ebay..lol. I really like LG's phones so this looks like the one for me.

Agreed - text messaging costs alot of money - even with most plans...it's just overkill! I'd rather email my frends or <gasp> CALL THEM!

How do you like the web surfing on this phone? Do the colors and graphics show up?

What type of operating system does the JG9800 use? I have a Treo 650 and like the free Palm OS software I can put into it.

can u serf the net using WiFI???? or thru verizon wireless network//how much does it cost to serf the net that way ?..can u literally do anything on teh web just like a computer browser?

This page includes a newly added flash demo of the phone accessing email and MP3's. I found it helpful. I haven't seen what OS this phone uses (I doubt it is Palm capable) nor do I know the cost of web surfing...only that it is a cheaper reoccuring cost than text messaging.

I didn't see anything about WiFi on that link about the 9800. It does V-cast. Verizon offered me V-cast for $15 a month.

For my Treo 650, Verizon wanted $45/month for unlimited web access and $25/month for 10 megbytes per month. The Treo 650 can do full web access just like surfing on a pc. V-cast offers clips of news and movie leaders and trailers. It's not the same as full web access.

I kinda like the HP pocket ipaq PCs since they can do WiFi.

I have a bluetooth and wireless on my laptop and it hook right in along with all the other perks it has to go with it. A great investment on my part.

My friend showed me how to get of so Vz web use too so that will save on the monthly bill.

Hey i just bought mine, its amazing i dont know what those ****ers are complaining about, i think it rocks. I have more fun with that phone than other phones, its def worth the price. I wanted something fun and important, and i found it. Make sure you get the Vcast and internet package aswell otherwise the phone is boring, but with the mini s card, you can put 5000 songs or like a moive or w/e you want on it, its ****ing dope, do it for sure

Hi,

All the multi-media functions look amazing & I've heard great things, but I'm curious about the more practicle functions.....I'm wondering how the addressbook & calendar features work. I have found conflicting info on how many names can be stored in the addressbook as well...500 in one place & 1000 in another. Also can it store street addresses (more than one per entry)? I'm used to a Palm, what do people think about the Treo v. the 9800?Thanks for the input.

how do you use the mp3 player on the Lg 9800
