LG VX-8700
Any way to keep front display always on?
I just started using my new VX8700 today, and what I've noticed so far is excellent sound quality and reception, beautiful high resolution interior screen, and wonderful camera quality. So far, the only thing that I don't like about the phone is that there doesn't appear to be a way to force the front screen to stay on. The only setting that I found will keep the front screen on for at most 30 seconds. My old phone (a VX 6100) was nice because the front display would always be on, but the backlight would turn off after a specified amount of time. I like the display to be on because then I can just glance at my phone for the time, or to see if I've missed a call, etc. Now I have to hit a button to turn the front screen on. Not...

Also to conserve battery life on the phone they decided to keep the outside completely of.
I do however completely agree with what your saying. what I would do is set the outside display to the shortest time. then get in the habit of pressing the button to see what time it is. that way it will save on your batt life and you will be able to see what time it is. hope this helps.

Are there any other helpful hints in the ##PROGRAM8700 menus that are worth mentioning?
Thanks!
