AMAZING 8000

Phone owned for

This phone is amazing, it has everything and you can get a piece to get blue tooth and i have it. so it is great..I LOVE THE SIZE are you kidding! i hate small phones. I just dont know how to use my usb cable yet, could someone tell me?

And you dont even have to open your phone to read a text message! how great is that! last but not least the picture is great depending on the lighting.

Best Phone I've Ever Used

Phone owned for

This is by far, the best phone, with the most options I've ever laid my hands on. The camera is fantastic (for a phone). MP3's, V-Cast (if it's in your area), speaker phone, ringtone availibility, etc., this has it all. Many people have commented about the size of the phone, and I agree that it's larger than most. However, I have come to appreciate how easy it is for ham-handed people like myself to use. No more hitting 2 buttons at once, Woo Hoo!!! If you're looking for great value and options in a phone, look no further.

Had me at hello

Phone owned for

It was crazy how I had gone to the mall with my dude to check out some clothes after I received some checks for graduation money. The phone is so damn good and I just happened to had been in the mall by the verizon store and dropped a call, and I realized it was the shitty phone I had. SO my friend suggested to buy a new phone. You know a phone is good when you spend 450 dollars without havin any initial intent to have spent it... very satisfied and i suggest it to anybody who is depicting over a new phone and its features.

Why are there always so many errors here?

Why are there always so many errors here?
This phone's camera does *NOT* swivel.

I hope no one is buying a phone, based on what
they read here.

BIG mistake.

LG VX8000 Love It!!!

Phone owned for

I love this phone! You can download a program called BitPim which will allow you to transfer Mp3's and manage other applications. I love the camera, too! Way better than the Samsung that I used to have. I don't even use my digital camera anymore. I am an agent for Verizon so I see all the phones. I can say this one beats them all!!! So what it's big... All the new V-Cast phones are. The reception is really impressive. I pick up in areas that other phones won't. My husband is waiting for the LG VX8100, but I don't see how it can be any better other than BlueTooth.

LG VX 8000 USB Cable problems

Phone owned for

I got a problem with my LG VX 8000 phone, I have bought two different USB Cables for my phone they both don't work, I don't know why. I have installed the drivers on my computer many times. I thought it's like a movable hard drive when I plug into my computer it will appear on my computer but after I plugged in I didn't see any differences on my computer, so I didn't know where to get or put the pics to my phone??? I saw some tips online, it said about the QPST or the otehr explorer things I really didn't know what they talked about. Can anybody help? I really appreciate it.

Great Job LG

Phone owned for

I must say that LG has came a long Way. This is the only Phone compnay that i buy from. I got rid of my LG VX7000 which I like for the LG VX8000. Both Interior and Exterior Screen on the 8000 are Crystal Clear, Speaker phone is awesome. Camera is the best 1.3 on a Cell phone , you cannot do better than that. wish it had Blue Thooth, The VCAST is avail here in Houston,Texas and it makes up for the Blue Tooth. Love the New LG VX8000 way to go LG....Hey LIFE'S GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who REALLY knows about the phone?

Phone owned for

Because the Tech's dont. I cant seem to get answers, and the phone i received does not work correctly... i have had it for a month. The techs at Verizon dont even know what is wrong and cant seem to transfer my phone book to a new replacement phone. Dont know how to customize the home page, update browser, download java, find banking wap sites, etc. phone shuts down or locks up for no reason and there is no control+alt+delete. no online web page for application downloads, tech info, etc... and i am very disapointed there is no bluetooth or function to download from verizon picture site or contact/calendar site (can only upload pics). when will they get it together? plus, verizon makes it difficult by not centeralizing all account, feature, etc. information on one page. i thought they did it with the HUB, but even that does not have everything and launches some sites in seperate window.

I think the techs are not thinking BIG enough!!

If you have information or solutions for my gripes, please feel free to send to LatinaLocaa@Yahoo.com

Overall, i do like the phone, but it is not smart enough for me.

Good sound quality, vibrate mode works well
Outter screen is very clear.
Cons:
I have a leather case and belt clip The lip flips open too easily while wearing it on my belt.
Inner screen should have a higher resolution.
No SD card slot.
Unable to upload mp3 from p.c.
Camera sucks.
V-Cast not available in Spokane, WA

This phone rocks!!!

Phone owned for

This phone rocks! I had the V710 for about a week when it first came out but was very disappointed with it. I returned it and waited for the 8000...and waited and waited. Finally I got it on the day it came out and it was worth the wait. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't allow me to keep T9 on in the scheduler but that's minor

hot but could have been better

Phone owned for

nice phone, but the quality of the calls is somehow disappointing. My old Samsung T300 had much clearer sound. The amplifier is really cheap, too much hiss in the earphones. Missing an easy way to transfer the photos to a computer or to upload other photos (looks like they want you to pay unless you figure out how to use BitPim or QPST). Picture quality is kinda poor, pictures are slightly blurry, most likely because of phone movement. But after all it's a phone not a camera.

Dosent get any better than this

Phone owned for

Okay, well I my self am 10 years old. I decided to get this phone for my birth day next month. From what I've seen on the internet the Phone sounds great.
PROS: * I love the V-cast feature. I am out and about a lot and its great to be able to watch TV on the go. (I live in Pheonix,AZ)
*MP3 player sounds great
*3d games are cool
*love the video clip feature ( I wish it was more than 15 sec.
*could use the GPS function
** Easy to navigate menu soinds good
*Next year I go to Jr. High so text messaging
*Plus this Phone has so many cool features i couldn't possibly list them all
* And who cares if the Phone isn't tiny. a bigger phones means a bigger screen for the V-cast
CONS:None

This is a realy cool phone don't look at any other phones get out and buy this one.

BEST PHONE OUT RIGHT NOW

Phone owned for

I originally started with the motorola v710 then swapped to the lg vx7000...that was a good move. Now that I switched to the 8000, I can't be happier. The screen is bigger than the 7k, has a nicer finish outside, speakerphone, mp3 compat., etc etc...I'm super satisfied with this phone and would suggest it to anyone. The only small downside is the size that everyone agrees with. Personally, I think they could have done a better display of the calendar, but I rarely use it anyways. Two Thumbs UP

VX8000

Phone owned for

I just got this phone today as an upgrade from my Samsung SCH-A530 and I have to say, I am amazed. This phone can video, stero sound, WAP 2.0, and it's a great phone. The only downside is its sizes (a lot bigger than my Samsung) and it is slightly heavy compared to other cell phones. But a gig plus for me is the screen size and clearity. Videos and sound are incredible plus the 1.3megapixel camera is a big PLUS.

also on the horizon

Phone owned for

Very cool phone with very cool features. It's a little on the big side. The LG VX8100 is also on the horizon, added feature is bluetooth. that is the only difference between the two.

This phone is truley amazing

Phone owned for

i think that this phone is great, i think phones don't need blue tooth technology, its just a waste so i didn't count that as a issue the only issue i have would have to be its desighnt, it needs to be smaller and a bit more rounded but i dont care about looks anymore alls i want is its EXCELENT features wich are purley beyonde belief, im 13 and own the LG vx7000 so to me this phone is that start of a new phone world...atleast for the united states

Phone owned for

I love this phone! I am so glad that I opened what I thought was junk mail. It is easy to use and the clips and pixs are awesome. The only thumbs down for me would be that it is not bluetooth.... other than that, I would and have highly recommended this phone to everyone that asks me about it.

Best Cell Phone Ever
