 Solid and Slim Phone May 5, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This phone is way that i would design it; slim, solid, good sound and navigational quality.
Phone fits perfect in a shirt or pants pocket, you hardly notice that it is there. The stainless-steel is a great touch and is perfectly fitted to the plastic.
Sound and navigational-friendlieness of phone is excellent.
Perfect phone for a 30+ person that doesn't text alot (like me). I really like the keypad since the keys are large but i can see how it would not be a good texting pad (i text about 10-20x per month). If you txt alot it may be a drawback for you.
Keys light up very well at night and outside display is well configured (aside from washing out in sunlight [which all color displays do, but the caller/time are in large text which helps outside readability]). Inside (main) dispay is very good quality.
2 Megapix camera is good for a camera phone.
I like micro sd storage under battery since i didn't ever remove the one in my old lg phone. Get the UBS cable and download the driver from Verizon.
Tried a samsung for a couple of days from verizon before choosing this LG. Happy every day that i did.
I love this phone...best one ive had for its generation since the original Startak.
Love it! April 2, 2008

I love this phone, I've had it about 7 months and it has been great. The outside screen IS hard to see in sunlight, and yes it's squared and angular, but the metal exterior shell holds up better than any phone I've had in the last 15 years. Works great with both of the Bluetooth headsets I've used at one time or another. No problem picking up good reception in comparison to other Verizon phones in the same area.
 Worst LG Phone Offered by Verizon!! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! March 16, 2008

I have had this phone for about 4 months now. BLUETOOTH DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS PHONE!!! I would not have kept this phone except for the fact that it took, this long, with continual trips to Verizon to replace it before they finally offered to replace it with a different phone! The main problem is the Bluetooth software and how it connects to ANY bluetooth device. For some unexplained reason by LG, this phone will not keep and hold any connection to any bluetooth devices. This INCLUDES an LG bluetooth headset! (Believe me folks, I tried 5 different makes and models of Bluetooth to try and rectify this problem. LG HBM-730 model headset, Motorola H700 headset, Jawbone Aliph noise cancelling headset, Plantronics Voyager 520, Motorola Bluetooth Speakerphone etc. the list goes on) The main problem is the bluetooth devices will pair and connect with the phone successfully. Then, when you close the phone, the device will be disconnected. If you open it, the phone may or may not recognize the device. Some calls you will pick up and the call may be instantly transferred back to the phone, then switch back and vice versa. Verizon states that LG believes that a software update to version 1.2 or version 1.3 will correct this simple problem, but it does not. LG customer service is a complete joke, saying it is probably an issue with my bluetooth device, not their phone. Verizon customer service was pretty good, except you have to keep bringing this phone back at least 4 times, before they will offer you a comparable replacement phone. DO NOT settle for a cheap base phone that they offer the first couple times! On pure principle, if you were like me you bought this phone for at least $149.99 after a rebate of some sort. NEVER again would I buy an LG phone after this experience.
Wonderful phone except when outside on bright sunny days February 25, 2008

I use my phones as a cell phone and not an internet device. All of the features of this phone work perfectly for my uses, and I'm starting to like the camera and video features as well. I especially love the weight of the phone and the stainless exterior that make it feel less like a toy than some competitors. Like other modern cell phones, the LCDs are nearly impossible to read in the sun. My old Samsung S-105 was the only phone I ever saw that had a good external LCD for viewing in sunlight because it had a reflective background behind the monochrome LCD. I miss that feature occasionally, but overall am very happy that I upgraded to this modern LG!

When I first got my VX8700 in early November 2007 I loved it. Stylish, great looking, High-res screen, giant screen, slim. I really loved this phone. I have never actually cared that much about a phone before until I got this one. After a couple of weeks, the bluetooth started connecting/disconnecting intermittently. Regardless of being in call or not. I swapped out the bluetooth for a better one that match the product manufacturer. No change. Had them upgrade the software. Fixed it for about 10 minutes. Swapped out phones. Was offered a refurbished one. I paid for a new one, so I insisted on a new one. While I was going through this big hassle, another couple with the same phones came in with the same problems. They wanted new phones, too. After a little over a month with the new one, it started doing the same thing. I called Verizon-again, and went to a Verizon store with a tech on staff. He looked at me like I had ten heads as if I was making this up. I was pretty mad. They offered me another new 8700! I said no way. Then they tried to push me into one of the $49.00 phones! I just paid $200.00 for this one! Finally they allowed me to swap out to a Samsung U700--the "Gleam." Looks like a make-up case. At least it works. Screen is not as big, but does have the slim design, 2.0 MP camera, and the same features as the 8700. Not my forst choice in phones, but gets the job done. If you are considering the LG VX8700, DON'T. It is a waste of money.
