I don't mean to be a downer, but please, do not waste your money. I had one, it had a speaker problem, returned it, recieved a new one and it froze, causing me to lose 426 contacts and all of my pictures, ringtones, etc. Phones are personal items and all verizon did was say, oops, and give me a third one of this phone, which i do NOT want. I am currently trying to sell it and brand new, in the box, am having trouble. I paid FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR THIS PHONE, mind you. Please do NOT waste your money!!!

12. Not dissapointed

I've had mine for a week and haven't found anything that I didn't like about the phone that wasn't cured by reading the instructions. My only beefs are little ones. First, to turn on the camera, you have to press the side button for three long seconds, or press LEFT,2,3 which takes almost as long... The second problem, may be the fault of the cheap headbuds that I picked up to fit that smaller plug. They don't playback in stereo. Is this a function of the plug, or bad buds???

13. Yes No, Maybe So!

I am about to buy a new phone. The 9800 has been the object of my eye. I lost my LG 7000 some months ago. Didn't have insurance. Never again will that happen. I'm truly impressed with the LG 9800 in many ways based on playing with it at Verizon and reading reviews. Yes I have looked at others but the LG 9800 has me. But I will miss the self portrait aspect that I had on my LG 7000 and I will miss the 24 hr readout option I had on my Moto T720. I give the LG 9800 a 4.8

I just got my VX 9800 a week ago and all i could say is... AMAZING.... you dont really need to spend a lot for it, thats if you are willing to spend 125 bucks for it (worth the money).. just dont go to those verizon people that is out in the mall cuz they will rip you off.. find a local authorized dealer out in your area.. i payed mines for 225.00 after tax and then you will get 100.00 bucks rebate, plus you get all the accesories with it too, (pouch, car charger, ear piece etc.) i just wish they have a better case for it though iunstead of the pouch. but its all good, just keep checking "KRUSSEL.COM" for all your cases, they make the best one, kinda pricey but worth the money/investment for it..

18. Why verison

I went to play with the phone at the store, I found the menus a little hard to follow. My main problem is that it is so far only at verison. I saw ads for it with cingular. What happened there?? Did Cingular drop it or what?

Has anyone out there compared the internet capability? On the sidekick you can actually see pages almost as good as a computer. DOes this phone have the same kind of internet or is it just text more less?

20. Incredible!

After spending time checking out the commercial for this amazing device, I quickly hopped in my car for a look at this new phone. I was one of the lucky ones who had their 2 year up just in time to lay my hands on this incredible new phone, and I am not regretting it. It has everything I need without spending useless money on several things. True, the amount of music you put on the (sold seperately) mini SD card is pathetic (~120 songs on a 512) but seriously, even WITHOUT external speakers, it made people turn and grin at a restaurant I was blasting my tunes at. I don't even carry my digital camera around with me anymore! True, this device isn't 6.1 megapixels like my Kodak EasyShare, but it's a whole lot smaller and easier to carry around. One concern I had was that, since I never had a brick phone before, I didn't know how to rest it between my head and shoulder. This phone isn't that hard to manage. I was also shocked to see the change in software (and how it was the same as newer Samsung models). I'm used to the LG vx6000, so this was quite the jump. The menu structure is really easy, I didn't have any problems with it. The 'Get It Now' was the only thing that was the least bit tricky, because it's divided up, you can DL music one place, check your email another, check your phone stats ANOTHER and get online in a totally other place. But the way it's set up makes a lot more sense, trust me. The camera was not hard to figutr out at all. You hold the device vertical, press the button for 3 seconds and BOOM! camera! Hold the button again for 3 more seconds, turn the device horizontal, and BOOM! video camera. I completely recommend this device for anyone who has the guts to get it. Admittedly, it is a bit pricey, but if you're a tech nerd like me and can afford it, go for it!!
