LG Chocolate VX8600 Review

The VX8600 is a combination of all the good the Chocolate had to bring, yet is in a slim flip phone that is the size of the RAZR. The body construction and looks of the phone are very stylish, the music player works well, camera is adequate, and call quality is good. However, the speaker that is located on the front flip is ...

Good

The LG VX8600 has nice features, and is very funtional. There are only two things I would change. The speaker phone feature needs to be a bit louder. When using this feature in a car, or any area where there may be the ambient noice, I have to bring the phone closer to my ear to hear (defeating the purpose). Second is the design and location of the charging port. I find it difficult to plug the charger in and even harder to remove it without feeling as though I'm going to break the unit. The location of the port is just ridiculous. When you have a car charger plugged in the side of the phone, you can barely hold the unit. That would be fine if I could hear the hands free speaker setting. Overall I like the unit. These improvements would make the LG VX8600 the best unit on the market (hands down).

32. get the booklet right

Got this phone as an upgrade on my contract. I travel a lot for work and THE thing I need is voice dialling. After struggling for 24hours to find it I rang tech support at my contract provider. It is now 3 days on and neither they nor their handset "experts" can figure it out - there is NOTHING in the manual and no-one can find the option on the phone.
I do like the appearance and the keypad is a joy after the prvious phone.
The address book doesn't appear to support postal addresses and there is no option to personalise ringtones - or if there is I haven't been able to find it.
This phone is going back.

34. i like the phone

I had the lg 8300 and traded it for the 8600 before the deadline. The reception is as good as the 8300 and moto e815. I like the feel of the phone in my hand. It seems to be the perfect size. The speaker phone is as poor as reported. Would perfer the 8300 for that feature. I use a bluetooth so not too important. I would say go for the 8600. So far no problems with the battery, but I charge it every night or use car charger. I like the phone!

I have found it very easy to use. Would be nicer if you could assign MP3's as ringers, other than that, this phone has everything, and is very easy to use.

36. good phone, bad idea

had mine about a week or so now and found it really easy to use simple phone. but the touch screen on the front has turned out to be a nightmare. im constantly having to clean is as i responds to my fingerprints left on there previously. typing text messages is the worst you try and select a contact ad it just fly through all the menu's. it's a great phone but they would have been better of using proper buttons.

37. muffled speaker

I wish LG would have kept the speaker up top like their 8300 phone.It's only speaker is on the back near the bottom and the music gets extremely muffled and hard to hear when it is in a protective holster.
