LG VX-8000

Okay, I have been following this forum for like four months and have been trying to get my account activated for the last week but all of my activation emails went to my spam folder, but whatever. Okay I am trying to get the best phone a can and money is no object, except I have to have a Version Wireless phone so here is where I stand

-I feel that that the 8000 looks awesome and I happen to like big phones

-I know Samsungs are good quality but I think LG is better quality

-I would like to know why the samsung is so expensive.

-I think the outside of the vox-8940 is disgusting

-I would like to know if the memory card slot on the 8940 outweighs the quality of the 8000

- Is the 3 D user interface really that great?(samsung)

Gone in 60 Seconds
Mobile-Phone TV Demands Quick Shows

The scene veers abruptly from seduction to murder. In one of the shortest, smallest television premieres ever, a woman deftly snaps her lover's neck, then steals his identity to access secret government data.

The miniature version of the TV show "24" lasts just 60 seconds, and it unfolds on a two-inch cell phone screen.

The "mobisode" (short for mobile episode), adapted from the Fox series, makes its debut Tuesday as part of a new push by Verizon Wireless Communications Inc. to sell mobile-phone video service to subscribers for a fee of $15 a month.

Carriers have packed their phones wi...

Yes, the stores now have both the 890 and the 8000 in stock. Some have the 8940 too. None are on display yet, but if you have a friend on the staff, he may pull them out from behind the counter and let you see them.

The Audiovox 8940 is in route and should be in hopefully at the same time they launch all three phones on Feb 1.

How do they compare?

Don't get hung up on which one has a better camera and base it only on megapixels. There is more to a good camera than pixel count.

The 8000 has a brighter and larger screen. The pictures, both indoors and outdoors have better color and saturation and generally look better than the 890. But the 8000 is HUGE!! No, it will NOT be comfortable in a pants pocket. The 8000 is one of...

so i just found out EVDO will not be available in tucson AZ at launch. Only in Phoenix......

we can get vcast, but it will be on the slow network until they launch the EVDO service....wat a joke!

not that i REALLY want to pay $15 bux, but i will.

How Much is this phone

A live VX8000 that is, at a local Verizon store 😉
Impressions: The size is not a drawback at all, its actually good- esp. if you have man size hands.
And it looks good too, better than the 7000.
The problem with it is that it is too heavy, and the weight is not evenly distributed- its more in the bottom.
The pictures actually don't look very good on the phone either, probably b/c its screen is only 176X220- but i assume they look better off the phone.
And I definitely don't like the menu system, same as 7000.
Its one of the best looking phones i've seen, if only it had a QVGA screen, was lighter and had different software 😕 I think i'd get sick of it after a while
(why is it that the screen res. seems higher on many moto phones...

Who said anything about Verizon releasing the S710a??? 🤣

Are you some kinda clown?? 😛

Better stay away, we might get nightmares 😳

Yes, my precious... 🙄

Fortunatly I was able to get this phone early because I won it in a drawing at one of the Verizon trainings. It is amazing, great reception, awesome camera and video and amazing outside display also. The only downside is it's size which is slightly bigger than the LG7000, I personally like it because with a bigger phone you get a bigger screen.

I also just saw the Vcast streaming video and it was amazing. Flawless, the LG VX8000 should be launched on Feb 1st. Vcast has not launched yet so I can't use Vcast till the 1st. I did see a preview of it today from my corporate VZW rep. it was awesome, 15 frames per second and the buffering speed was awsome. I only watched like 5 min of "the best damn sports show" and a couple skating and skiing...

Hello all:

I am afraid to get a bluetooth phone (ex: 8100 when it's out or V-710) due to people bluejacking. For those of you who don't know, bluejacking is where someone within a certain range intercepts your signal and can listen in on your call or text message right to your phone, etc. That might not be exact, but it's a general idea. This might be speculation, but at least with the VX-8000, no bluejacking is possible. Any insight on this topic would be greatly apprectated. Thanks in advance.

hey i was just wondering if this phone have bluethooth

Okay so I have the VX8000 and I cannot figure out how to get a whole song on my phone. Is the only way to do so with the USB cable (that is not included, so where would I get one?)? Also, I find that paying $2.99 to download a ringtone from the GetItNow service is ridiculous when you can just send yourself the same "true" high-quality .midi tone. As far as I've seen, you cannot download a full mp3 song from the getItNow service. If so, can someone tell me where to find it?

Does anyone know if you can use the speaker phone with the flip closed??

will it be possible to connect the vx8 to your computer directly with the usb wire and access pictures, audio, and ringers on your computer with your phone and swap data. also will the usb come with the phone? also..will it cost money everytime you transfer any kind of data or anything.??? thanks appreciate it

I was wondering if you could just call up today and order one. It sounds like Verizon has them in, it is just the cant sell them for four or five more days. Has anyone tried calling up and ordering one?

"LG also said it expects to sell its previously announced CDMA EV-DO clamshell-style VX8000 phone through Verizon Wireless by February."

Only reason I mention this is 'cuz most ppl have been saying January.

Article doesn't say anything about the VX-8100, which is supposed to be the Bluetooth variant I'm guessing?

The title says it all, does anybody know if the speakerphone on this phone is full or half duplex?

thanks, chris

Just heard from a couple of local Verizon stores today that the 8000 is now expected to be out late Feb. early Mar.(instead of Feb 1)Anybody heard anything different?

Is the front LCD screen clear in the daytime? Or does the glare from the sun make it difficult to read the text?

A response to this question would really make my decision on Febuary 1st a lot easier. Thanks in advance for your posts.

Since it has an MP3 player, can you use it to store and upload ringtones on your phone?
