 Just what i expected March 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
When I switched recently to Verizon, I was looking for a basic cellphone which nowadays is classified as having a camera, music playing capability, and bluetooth. This is what I expected after reading the reviews online. Although I've heard bad things about LG cellphones, I was willing to take a chance based on the cheap price with a new contract and also I'm not a big fan of advanced technologies on a phone, because i think you get a cellphone for making calls, not for internet. If you really want to check your email and chat on AIM with your friends, I suggest you look for a more sophiscated phone like the iPhone or a Blackberry.
I've had this phone for about a month and it's been great so far. As you can probably tell by now, I do not have extreme high expectations out of this device other than the basic calling functions, text messaging, and bluetooth. The surprising thing is that the camera is actually very decent and the quality comes out fine on my comp. monitor. Bluetooth works great as I connect it to my laptop and also my Garmin GPS (used as a hand-free in my car). Battery life is also decent so far, the batt drops to about 1/2 after a couple days. Reception has been pretty strong in all areas here on the eastcoast and I get reception in the metro! which is underground...amazing isn't it? The only pet peeve I have is that the Verizon cellphone interface is kind of uninspiring and hard to navigate at times. I really dislike the text-messaging interface.
Overall, this phone is satisifactory if you are just looking for an "ordinary" cell and has been functioning well in the first month.
The only phone that works in a neighborhood with poor cell reception March 8, 2008

I recently moved to a neighborhood with poor cell reception. I tried 3 different carriers and countless phones and was having great difficulty getting reception - until I found this phone. The LG VX8350 is a little oddly shaped, but the reception is unparralled to all the other phones out there. Battery life is excellent. I haven't charged the phone in 4 days and it is still running strong. The only annoyances I have found are the speaker phone button is on the inside keypad of the phone (as opposed to the outside side panel on the phone), and the backlight doesn't stay on any longer than 30 seconds. The gloss coating on the phone easily picks up fingerprints, but other than these little issues I highly reccommend the phone. It works great. I was prompted to buy the phone after I read the high reviews it received on Consumer Reports and some other tech websites.
 Love this phone! February 25, 2008

I had a really old phone before I upgraded to this one (I mean old!!!), I love it!! It is your basic phone. I am the type of person where I do not need all the bells and whistles, I just wanted a basic phone, nothing fancy. It does have mp3 capabilities (I have an Ipod..so have no use for this feature). It also has a camera (another feature I do not utilize)that allows you to send and receive motion or still pictures.
What I really like about this phone is the ease of maneuverability. Like when I receive a text message, I can read the message and scroll without having to open the phone.
If you are looking for your standard, basic phone with a sleek clean appearance this phone may be for you.
 Dissappointed.. February 15, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've had this phone for about 5 months now, and I'm kinda dissappointed with it. The first model I had was broken (one of the buttons was extremely sensitive, more like a touch button as opposed to a push button), so I sent it back and got a new one. The new one isn't perfect either, the END button seems to be off balance or something; I can push the lower half of it in without the top half moving.
I keep the camera in my pocket most of the time, and the hinge already seems a lot looser than it was when I got it.
I was under the impression that this phone was pretty much indestructible, but I doubt that it will last me the next year and a half.
Happy with mine too! January 28, 2008

For a phone that appears so simple it does a lot. It's not the "Voyager" but c'mon people these are two differnt kind of instruments that should not be compared against each other. I must say the fact that it has no external antenna made me thought reception would have been poor but not at all. I hear quite clearly on mine. The thing I love the most is that it has a slot for additional memory....very handy feature for music lovers and photography enthusiasts. The phone also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight OR when you just dont wish to be interupted while listening to your music.
Another plus is you can purchase USB cable to copy music from your PC to phone along with the necessary software.
For its price you get a lot.
