11. It's alright

48%4.8out of 10

I got this phone when it first came out, spent a pretty penny for it, which I wouldn't recommend, it does take well to drops, I've dropped it plenty, the charger cover sucks, mine is about to come off, I don't like the fact that you can't use full songs as a ring tone, loaded on to my sd card, and I don't like that you can't connect to someone else's phone through bluetooth, which I just recently found out, the camera isn't all that great, but I do like how it fits well into my back pocket, because it is thin enough.
All in all, if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't buy this phone, but that's just me.

13. Durable, but not a best buy.

I got this phone because all 5 of my chocolate phones malfunctioned for no reason. I have had this phone for 8 months now and I only liked it for the first month. Its a phone that you like it when you see it and you like it until you are used to it and how it works.

The signal isn't too great, the camera quality is poor unless it has a sufficient light source. My memory was very minimum without any added memory holding less than 20 pictures and one video at one time for the first month or two. Although, recently I have been able to hold 4 videos, and up to 50 pictures at one time and I haven't put any extra memory in it. The sound quality is good and the battery life could be better. If I charge it all night and use it periodically throughout the day I only use a bar of battery, maybe two. The battery port cover is poorly designed and weak; mine broke off. The front screen is very conveinent to display text messages and missed calls but it attracts fingerprints very easily. The design is good, but it is a very length phone and feels large when talking on it.

Even though there are plenty of little things I do not like about the phone, I must say that this phone has not had one glitch or one malfunction. It has been a very durable phone and takes well to drops. I wouldn't buy this phone if you are looking for a phone that has a bunch of cool features and extras. This is a basic phone made to keep up with the newer designs of today's phones.

14. A really good phone

This phone is one of the best all-around good phones verizon has. It has the verizon UI, but it is the newer flash-based one. It's camera is decent and both the internal and external screens are quite high quality. The external screen is fairly hi-res and you can read texts and missed calls from it. The mp3 player is quite good. It even displays album artwork on the external screen. The touch-sensitive music buttons are ok... I don't like having to 'unlock' them or hitting them accidentally. I like the keyboard, even though others say it is flat and annoying. The web browser is fast and useful for reading e-mail. The internal memory is not too big so a cheap microSD card is a must. (I got a 1gb for $5 at an online retailer) The sound quality is decent, even at loud volumes. Call volume is usually loud enough. Ring volume is also usually loud enough. Music volume is plenty loud and usually clear. The hinge doesn't have as much 'spring' to it as I would have liked, but it still opens and closes smoothly. Its features are very good with mp3 player, full vcast offerings, mobile WAP 2.0 browser, EV-DO, 1.3 MP Camera, stereo bluetooth with file transfer, and more. The signal strength is usually good, but not as good as my old audiovox 8940. I usually get a good signal but not always a good EV-DO signal. While the phone does attract fingerprints... its really not a problem. This phone really is a very good all around phone. Even though verizon stopped selling it online... you can still find it in many retailers.

15. Great phone no doubt

8 Aug 2007 by elgee02

I had this phone for a good 4 months and got a lot of use out of it, and overall the phone is definitely great! I had no issues with battery life at all, speakerphone is a little weak if there is a bit of background noise but in a quiet room I had no problem hearing it. The disign and form factor are excellent, and the default UI theme is very eye appealing. The keypad was good, but not great. Occasionally when texting I would think I hit a key but actually didn't and would have to go back, but that was rare and only minor. Reception seemed great as well. I really loved this phone. A good choice if your looking for a nice stylish sleek flip phone with good features and much better quality than a RAZR, the LG-VX8600 is it. VZW has the phone on End of Life so you better hurry!

16. Best phone ever but...

27 Jul 2007 by Doug

90%9out of 10

I love this phone, it is by far the best I've ever had. You'll do well with it, BUT BE AWARE! There are a few annoying features one should know about before chosing this one. For example you can't use a bluetooth stereo headset when watching videos - it only works with music! So if you want to watch a video (V-Cast or otherwise) privately you have to get out the old corded headset. The camera quality is poor in anything other than bright light, and the video's are worse even in good light. The side control buttons are exactly opposite one another, so to get a grip you often push on the other side's button first (you do eventually learn to grip it a little funny and avoid this problem). Again, love it despite these problems, but be advised.

This phone has style with amasing features. Its slim. Fits easily into pocket. Love the MP3. has good sound to it. The buttons on the outside are very helpful to the MP3. Definetly worth the money.

18. LG VX8600

If you want a well designed phone that plays music and takes great pictures this is the phone. The design is very well done it's easy to flip open and fits nice is you hand. The only problem I have with the design is the keypad is flat and sometimes I end up pushing the wrong key but its not that annoying. So overall the design is great. The features for the phone are really good also the camera works great and so does the music player. A problem I have is with the touch sensitive music buttons. Sometimes I hit a button when I'm in the middle of a song and the song starts all over again and it really gets me annoyed. Sound quality is really good also the music plays really well but the ring tones I download from VZW Deluxe 3.0 are a little tiny bit fuzzy. Signal strength is okay but when calling people its a little bit fuzzy. But overall this phone is great and it's definitely worth the money and you'll be happy with your purchase.

ive had this phone for over 4 months now and i am pretty happy with it. the design is great it looks really nice and all my friends want to see the phone. one bad thing about the design is the shiny front it looks great but i am constantly cleaning it because it gets fingerprints all over it. the features are also very good the music player, vcast video, the camrea, and the video recorder are all great features. the camrea is pretty good but at some times the pics come out fuzzy. the sound quality and signal streanth are really good the sound is always loud and i always have at least 2 bars where ever i am. so this phone is pretty great overall.
