LG VX8350 Review

It is unfortunate when a new phone does not live up to the previous model that came before it, but this is the case with the VX8350, where the physical design changes are outweighed by negative aspects of the device. There are several key areas that concern us about the VX8350. The first being the poorly designed hinge that flexes whenever the smallest amount of force is placed upon it. This makes us feel that the hinge will not hold up over time with everyday use. The second area of concern is the Reception and Call Quality.

1. good and bad

this phone when i first got it was great i loved it. I had the phone for almost seven months barley any problems, the speakerphone button being so close to the clear button is annoying though. then it died due to idk i just don't leave it in the bathroom with steam. after the about seven months before it died it did slag some times on button response. after it died they sent me another one and that's the one i have problem with. It doesn't get as good of a signal as the old one. i had used the replacement for a day and then upgraded to the phone i wanted. the glyde. I recently went back to this phone (read review of glyde to find out why) and i just think that at times the reception could be better and it could be a bit thinner but over all if you want an average music phone and u like lg then this is for you.

Pros

design
almost everything

Cons

plastic feel
clear button location
would be nice if had flash

2. Best LG I've owned so far...

4 Nov 2008 by Anonymous

83.3%8.3out of 10

At first I though this phone was real basic but it funtions better than the Motorola RAZR 2. The software is fast and has a Titanium UI theme which is pretty cool. Although the software is nice the newer phones on the market has better software. But for when this phone came out its real good. It doesn't lag or freeze like alot of phones now days. The battery lasts a long time and reception is great. Very few places (if any) do I have low signal. Vcast loads real good, doesn't have to buffer as much as the RAZR 2 did. Internal memory is good, could be better if you like lots of downloads. Wish it had a 2MP camera but it has a 1.3 MP. Stereo speakers on the back make ringtones and music sound good. If you like Loopt Mobile don't download it to this device it'll crash it! I've had this phone for several months and I'm sure its soon going to be replaced by the 8360 but I thought I'd give it a good word before I upgrade.

Pros

Reception
Battery
Software
Memory
Screens
Voice quality
Sound
Vibrate mode
SD memory card slot on side of phone, not behind battery door.
Flash UI theme. Only one but still a cool one.

Cons

Keypad backlight is real dim
Using downloaded wallpaper on external screen not good, cuts edges off.
Loopt software will crash phone! Maybe an update will fix it.
Wish it had micro USB charger.
Default wallpapers and animated wallpapers...same as older models

3. 8350

16 Oct 2008 by hurricane8350

70%7out of 10

Hi,

After reading the first few negative feedbacks I started second guessing my choice of the 8350. Yes the outside feels a bit cheap, like it may not survive its first drop on the ground. But a leather phone cover may help with that. For the 3 weeks or so I've had it, I cannot complain. I'm hoping that I don't see the day that the hinge and other potential problems occur (as mentioned in prior ads). But aside from the potential problems as listed earlier in this post, I like the phone, and should it continue performing as it has, I'd rate it an solid 7.

I got the phone because my girlfriend's 8300 was nice and had a nice feel, so I figured it was an upgrade to her 8300, but I think, minus the 8300's antenna, her phone had a stronger build.

4. Stay away from this phone

I had an 8300 for over a year. I was exceptionally satisfied with this phone because it was completely glitch free. When i accedently smashed it i got the upgrade (more like downgrade) to the 8300. At first i was satisfied with the 8350 but it only went downhill. After about a month it just stoped working, it could no longer get a signal. I got it replaced hoping it was just a manufacture defect. My second 8350 had the same problem and i got it replaced. Im now on my 3rd 8350 and once again its having the same problems. I cant wait to get it replaced tomorrow with a completely knew model. I had high hopes for this phone and i now regret ever choosing it. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE.

5. 5th LG owned - worst so far

14 Jun 2008 by G

40%4out of 10

I've owned and continued owning LG phones for the past several years. After using my wife's 8300, this seemed like the natural next step for my upgrade. Worst move so far. I've gone thru 4 phones and 2 batteries so far. Battery life at first seems great, then something happens and you get less than a day on a charge. Seems odd.
The phone itself is simple and easy, but the lack of an external key shut-off baffles me. If this phone was meant to be kept in your pocket, ANYTHING will turn the music player on. Sit down - music on, stand up - music on, turn left - music on.. you get the point.

i loved this phone for the first day then it went downhill. it didn't hold a charge for over 3 hours, and that is with only texting, and maybe one or two short phone calls. the hinges would creak every time i open and close the phone and the phone dents very easily, even when in a case.

7. If you're moving up from the VX8300, find another route.

I had my VX8300 for two years and loved it. This VX8350 seems to have regressed. The software on the phone is similar to the earlier verizon phones, but with tacky colors.

One thing that bugs me is that the user can't assign a different text alert sounds to different contacts. All text messages have one general tone. So if you receive texts your significant other, your family, friends, co-workers, boss, teachers, etc, you won't be able to tell them apart audio-wise.

The camera isn't as good as I expected. The picture quality is fuzzy and warm, and obviously doesn't have a flash.

If you want an easy to use phone, then this will work. If you're into taking pictures and video, and slightly being organized and customized, then check out what else Verizon has, because you won't be happy with this one.

8. a great disappointment

I upgraded my 8300 to the 8350, having been extremely happy with the 8300. The 8350 is a great disappointment. After 3 months the hinge broke and after only 2 months, the replacement phone hinge also broke. I am on 8350 #3 right now. I am 52 years old and have never been abusive to my phones. In over 12 years of cellular use, I have never had a problem with a phone like I am having with the 8350. I talk and text. The plastic is terribly cheap on the 8350. I occasionally get voice cracking so the reception is not great. I also have people complain that when talking, my voice fluctuates from very loud to unable to hear. The battery is also not as good as the 8300. Battery life is very, very poor. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give this phone a 2!

9. Expected more from an LG

This phone is ok...if you don't want or need a bunch a features then its fine...but otherwise it sucks. It feels so cheap and is all plastic. It breaks pretty easily...good sound quality but thats the best i can say. With all the cool phones out there this one is near the bottom of the list. SAVE your money and buy a better one. I got it for Christmas and i'm stuck with it and i'm so unhappy. DON'T BUY!!!
