LG (all phones with vx)

vx 3200 (within weeks)

vx 4600 (any day now)

vx 6100 (possibly not coming out)

vx 7000 (phone to look forward to, arriving mid summer after the audiovox cdm 9900)

vx 8000 (off in the future)

Audiovox

cdm 9900 (hopefully by mid to late may.) for those of us dying for a new decent phone we might settle for this because of it's trimode, battery life, and video but 'smarter consumers' might wait for the lg which customers have typically been happier with.

Motorola

v710 (after the LG 7000) better than the v810 with features and will actually probably arrive before the v810

v810 basic motorola camera phone, coming in the game late, not looking to blow anyone away.

Samsung

Anyone have any new info on when the unlimited Verizon to Verizon calls will end? I'm waiting for a new phone to come out and wondering if some summer promo or video messaging release will kill it.

Thanks

I've had the opportunity to use the 4500, the 4600, and the 3200. From a sound quality, reception perspective all have performed well for me.

I have no interest in using my phone for Games, Get It Now, Custom Ring Tones, Wallpaper, Internet Access, or Text Messaging. When you add that into the equation, these three phones have just a few differences of varying importance depending upon your needs. Here are some of my thoughts and observations.

A. NO EXTERNAL DISPLAY (3200 ONLY)
The primary difference everyone seems to immediately point out is that the 3200 has no external display. Although many can and will disagree, I like the fact it has no external display. Here's my reasoning, based soley on my personal preferences and need...

Wanted to alert folks to a software bug in the voice scheduler that is caused by something in the Version 2 software for the VX4500. Phones with Version 1 do not have this problem.

Here's the issue:
1. Go to the main Voice Scheduler screen
2. Select the options (right soft key). You'll see 5 options. #1 Go to Today; #2 Go to Date; etc.
3. Select Option #2 and you'll see that nothing happens. Version 2 software disables Option #2.

What should happen? When you choose it you should get a user entry area where you can input any date and the calendar will go to that date.

Worse, the phone will sometimes freeze on this screen. You can unfreeze it but hitting the end key once (you don't have to power down the phone.)

I am looking to switch to Verizon on or after May 24th. There aren't any really great trimode phones out right now, but I am concerned about getting an all digital phone since I travel once a month. I live in Texas and the traveling I do is all within Texas. I am courious as to who uses an all digital phone in Texas and what are their experiences with having or not having a signal. Thanks

... and what do I see on a catholic church's marquee?

======================
"Can you hear me now?"

-God
======================

ala the "God" billboards.
oh, how clever. 🙄

when you have lil kim, old ladies, denzel washington, and the catholic church saying that crap... it's time to move on.

moral of the story...

Please retire Test Man. He's done.

At least from here I can't get to Verizon's site. It appears to be down. Can't even ping it at this point. I guess they are getting hammered with people looking for this phone. If it ever arrives.

Has anybody heard rumors about VZ buying up smaller carriers? I've heard things about Centennial & MobileTel, but that was a while back & now nobody will talk about it. I'm just curious.

Its about time that I purchase a new phone, and I am interested in the push to talk feature. The story that I get from customer support is that they are improving the service to be as fast as Nextel.

I have read that this service cannot be improved due to the type of technology used to create this service.

I am trying to get an honest answer from someone that has more knowledge than myself on this topic.

Thanks in advance,

My 2 year plan is up for Verizon and I'm looking to get a new phone. I have the old Nokia and am in definite need of a new, more modern phone. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't need a camera phone but would like a flip phone that doesn't cost too much!

I just noticed that there seems to be a change in all the America's Choice rate plans. Every America's choice rate plan includes Unlimited Nights and Weekend minutes that are ONLY good in your home area! If it's a weekend, and you're out of town, you're using your anytime minutes. If you already have a contract in place, the N&W minutes still appply nationwide. But new contracts--in home area only. That's not good!

I want to switch to Verizon from Tmobile in mid June to take advantage of those cool phone that will be coming out. However I also really want take advantage of this in-network "promotion" that Verizon is offering now, because most of my friends are on Verizon. Does anyone know if this in-network deal will still be offered when the new phones come out in mid June. Thanks for your help.

I think VZW should deliver phones themselves to the customer, or invite them to dinner, then go over the features, walk 'em through it, etc.

Calling plans should be $20 for 1000 minutes (w/ no taxes), unlmtd nights and weekends starting at 7pm, no contracts, in network calling applies everytime (including roaming), they should at least give the phones for free, maybe a credit, unlimt text and pix promotion should be never ending, billing should be in 5 second increments.

I have been a customer for many many many years and after paying all that money that is what vzw owes me. Oh yeah, about 5% of my calls drop, usually when I'm driving through a tunnel or through the desert from CA to NV--- what's up with that!!!!! VZW owes me. They sho...

I have been with Verizon for 16 months. I have now been through 8 phones and am going to go get my ninth today. I started with a T720 when it came out and went through 4 in nine months. They then got me a T730 and it lasted six months. Then it started to unregister itself from the network, whether or not I was on a call. They then suggested I no longer use any Motorola products due to my problems with them. I got an Audiovox 8600, but returned that in less than a week. I liked the size, but the phone book was awful and unusable. It also has the same problem as my 8900. The Sub-LCD "Verizon Wireless" banner does not allow me to see CallerID until the six seconds has passed. Very annoying and I have missed more calls than I can count. Well now...

I live in the Northeast of Florida and I would like to know what frequency is used in this area is it 800MHz or 1900MHz? and since I'm asking about this does anyone know what areas are 800MHz and what areas are 1900MHz? and best which ones are both? Anxio*

"Lithium-ion is a low maintenance battery. No periodic discharge is needed and charging can be done at random. A random charge means that the battery does not need to be fully depleted before recharge. In fact, it is better to recharge before the battery gets too low. Full discharges put an unnecessary strain on the battery. A recharge on a partially charged battery does not cause memory because there is none."

"...A partial discharge puts less strain on the battery, which benefits lithium-ion and to some extent also nickel-metal-hydride. nickel-cadmium is least affected by delivering full cycles."

I wanted a decent phone upgrade when my "new every two" time came and I did not want a camera phone. My wife and I both thought that the LG4600 looked good and we attempted to upgrade on the verizon website but couldn't do it. I called customer service but they told me that it was an internet only phone. I told them that I tried to get it as an upgrade on the internet but couldn't and they suggested that I try sales. They connected me to sales and I spoke to a punk who asked me why I wanted the LG4600!!!, when I could get the LG6000 camera phone and he could get it to me for free. I told him that it was very simple; I want to upgrade my phones using my "new every two" for my primary line and pay for the other phone for my w...

Hey guys, need your help here... I am buying an lg 4400b phone to use with verizon service. Even though they're phasing the phone out and no longer display it on the verizone Phone page, my local vzw store has some in stock and I'm getting one. the problem is since the phone is no longer listed on the vzw phone page, the flash demo feature that is available with all of their phones is no longer available to me.. Surely since the phone is used by so many people using verizon, there must be a way to access the flash demo feature for this phone. Any ideas how to access it. I'd appreciate your impute, as the flash demo is alot more user friendly than the lg manual. thanks again

YES ITS GOOD FOR VERIZON CUSTOMERS AS WELL, SINCE AFTER THE MERGER CINGULAR WILL BE (MORE) COMPAREABLE TO VERIZON, WHICH WILL MAKE MORE COMPETITION AND LOWER PRICE PLANS ON VERIZON.

I was overseas for the past year living in Europe and was able to see the future of mobile technology. If you want to get a taste of what is to come visit T-Mobile. Verizon is still building out their CDMA network, when the rest of the world has long given up on that technology. Verizon even admits that their technology is incompatible with the rest of the world by offering "Rentals of GSM" phones on their website. What a joke.

In addition, they make thier camera phones sound great, Vodafone in Europe had this technology out for over a year before Verizon even knew what was happening in the industry. Verizon offers a single camera phone that is a piece of junk (LG VX-6000), the buttons are made for midgets, the picture quality is bad...
