Alltel launches glossy colorful LG AX8600

Alltel just launched its version of the LG VX8600 (which has been offered for months by Verizon Wireless in glossy black color, resembling the Chocolate), called the AX8600. It is available in three joyful colors, including Vivid-Blue, Lime-Green and Champagne-Gold. All of them are available for $50 after rebates and with contract.

LG AX8600 is absolutely identical to the VX8600 when it comes to specifications and it has the same electrostatic music-control keys on the front cover. 8600 features 176x220 pixels internal display and additional color external one, 1.3-megapixel camera and microSD slot.

Love it so far.
I have the blue one. I've only had it for a week, but love it so far. I've heard they recalled the green twice and the gold once. Not sure what that was all about, but mine seems to be good.

Yeah I had the gold one loved it!!! They recalled it because the paint was coming off. Now I have the Silver one and I have had problems with the internal chip for the micro-sd card.

LOVE-LY!!!
Just got this phone yesterday with Alltel...I chose the LG AX8600 (blue) because I figured if I'm stuck with one phone for my two year contract, it might as well be one of the newest ones! I had done my homework and searched all over the web for reviews and was a little worried after reading certain complaints...but I have yet to notice something worth thinking, let alone writing about! So far- Fabulous decision! Gorgeous design, good ringtone volume, great color screens, really good photo quality for a cell phone! Haven't tried the mp3 yet or celltop...probably won't ever need them but nice options to have :) I was worried at first about durability, but I haven't had any problems yet...I did, however, scratch the main screen the minute I got home (a little delicate) when I tried to open the flip with one hand...but I'll deal with a petty obstacle like that for such a good phone! Overall, incredibley pleased and excited to keep discovering new features!

I have the blue lg and am not very happy with it. I have problems staying connected and alot of the times I will get a no service available warning. Even when there is a person standing right next to me using their phone. My battery doesn't last a day. I unplugged it this morning and am down to 2 bars already and haven't even used it. I think I will take it back and get a totally different phone.

ditto, ditto, ditto -- am so glad to "see" someone else is having the same problems I am. I got the phone in Dec 07, started having problems in Jan 08 and have been continuous. Finally will be getting a new phone sent - have had cell phones a long time, and have never had all the problems I am with this one. Just like you said, can be standing next to the person calling you and the phone's not ringing. You're talking to someone and the call just ends. Doesn't say lost call - it's just like you weren't talking!!! Thanks

I feel the same. My son and I both have the blue one. We have had nothing but problems with reception and battery life. I have complained to my service providerl many times, only being told that this phone has a great rep. My son has even paid under his insurance to replace his phone, three times. All of them are the same. I finally was told 2 months ago that alltel stopped offering this phone because of all the problems. They agreed to replace it, but when they looked at when I purchased it, they said that I had missed the year waranty by one month. After a whole year of complaining and no results and now I have missed it by one month.

You know, I was wondering why Alltel stopped carrying this phone and now I understand why. I've had the blue one for about a year now and had no problems up until a couple of months ago. I've dropped it a couple of times, but nothing serious. I dropped my Razr too and never had the problems that I've had with this LG. It does random things such as the front and inside screen will go out, when I put it on vibrate the screen goes out (?), sometimes the screen is displayed backwards, and I've had many complaints from people that I text that they get duplicates of my text messages. Also, I don't know if it's because of the amount of service I have or what, but I'll go to call someone and receive 4 text messages at once, as if my phone was holding them until I called someone or they were just floating out in space. It gets annoying because I'm constantly getting text messages hours later than they were sent. I'm counting down the months until I can get a new phone!!!!

SAME EXACT PROBLEMS! i got the silver one in January 08 worked great for a while, but all of a sudden the service went to hell, and now the battery lasts maybe 18 hours, i have to charge it everynight, i want to get it returned or whatever, but now with the verizon-alltel merger idk but does anyone know how to go about getting a new phone out of it, cause no matter what, the phone should have lasted longer then this!

I purchased this phone 5 weeks ago. I am on my 5th battery/phone since I keep returning it because the battery will not stay charged. It will not stay charged more than 5 or 6 hours. I'm going back tomorrow to get a different phone.

I have had 2 (mine and my wife's) AX8600 for the past year with no problems. All of a sudden, in the past month, my battery will not last more than 6 hours. This applies to both of our phones, so I know that it must be something with the service. By the way, it cost me $80 to find out that it is not the battery. If anyone knows what happened here or what to do about it, I would appreciate knowing.
Thanks,
Jonny
