Re: I dont think so...
It has some terrific features (camera, flash, ease of use, etc.), but I don't like the keypad at all, don't like the plasticky chrome look, and it looks to be one of the more slippery handsets around. Around my house that spells doom!
Love the specs, but. . .darn. I wanted to like it.
Re: Nokia does it again...8 EF'IN GIGS!
With the evident design and marketing skills Steve Jobs and Apple have, I doubt they're shaking. It's more likely they're saying, "Ah, flattery. We've taken the market in our direction--on we go!"
Or something like that.
Beauty!
Great features, wonderful compatibility for the U.S., AND great looks in a Nokia?!
Sure, it will be very expensive, but I never!
Re: Picking Fights Over Phones
Okay, fight fans.
You cannot reason with a bully--they enjoy exactly this.
Bullies bully.
Ignore him.
Picking Fights Over Phones
There are those who strangely enjoy picking fights, "slamming" and offending their way through as many people as they can. It's the thrill of their day.
There are so many great phones out there that, really, there are few that are truly "pieces of junk." To frequently refer to phones that many people research, purchase and enjoy as such is this kind of persons' method of bullying. No one actually agrees with him and no one wants him ...
Re: i need to know...
T-Mobile.
Availability date?
I suppose I could get these phones unlocked, but I've never done that before.
If AT&T is going to get either or both of these, I could get it at a discount...and hopefully they won't be crippled.
Anyone have a good idea as to when they will be available through AT&T?
I'm frustrated with my current phone and situation, and I can make the switch to another carrier at any time. That's why I'm asking so many questions.
Thanks for your help.
Re: Who
AT&T does not carry any SE phones right now. Do you think they will pick up either of these phones, or will we have to buy them unlocked?
If you think they'll pick them up, when would you estimate?
Yes, my current phone and provider are having issues...
Re: ding dong the w300 is dead
Oops.
I just read your other post about getting it off ebay. Sorry about that.
But the other questions apply.
How about a review?
Thanks again.
Unlocked Newbie Questions
Where did you get it and what company is your service provider? Do you mind telling me how much you paid for it? How is the call quality?
I'm an unlocked phone newbie (never done it before) and appreciate any advice you might give.
I'm very interested in this phone, as well as the W580i.
Thanks!
Incorrect.
I just found your comments about leaving TMobile and going to Verizon on a Nokia page. So, I apologize for doubting that you had an LG—my error. My suspicion that you were disingenuous in that regard was incorrect.
Take it easy...
Wow. So articulate.
I simply found (and still find) your comments suspect. You posted a comment only two months ago (on May 16) about how you’re sticking “with Nokias for now,” but now you claim to have an LG VX8300. Perhaps you do, but your timeline seems out of whack. If you do own the LG, then I apologize.
My comparison comments about the two phones are correct, your scarily furious diatribe notwithstanding. I had the ...
Re: Whats the point
So what gives, Ham Whacker?
On this site at the following link - https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php ?fm=m&ff=1008&fi=1167538 - you say you've been trying the L7e and the RIZR Z3 from T-Mobile and that you "want to get the new L72 so bad," but "i will stick with nokias for now!"
I thought you had an LG VX8300? Only Verizon has the LG, but at the above link you you say you're sticking with your Nokias.
Hmm...Are you throwing out some bull and having fun ...
Ham Whacker on the troll...
Having a nice time trolling today, Ham Whacker?
While I would like to usher you out of a forum you have no business being in (hint), here's a review you must have missed.
Due to a transmission problem with a just-installed cell tower near our home, we could no longer use our much-liked LG VX8300s. We found that the Motorola KRZR and Maxx Ve have significantly better call quality—particularly transmission. Here’s what we found in comparison:

Re: Huge hinge
In the last two months I have owned two LG VX8300s, and now a Maxx and a KRZR. (See my comparison review - https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_review s.php?phone=1024&r=23000#review23000)
The reason for the larger hinge on the Maxx is the focus button for the camera found there. It's an outstanding feature. But if you don't want a great camera or a good music player, why get the Maxx in the first place? I think it's the best overall phone offered by ...
Re: Razr2 vs Maxx
What kind of a post is this? Did you just have to throw something up? Getting rid of a fur ball?
You can do better--dig deeper next time.
Re: Picture torn in half?
Well said--I also like the Maxx.
Perhaps someone will have an explanation for the torn picture icon.
Thanks for your help.
Re: Picture torn in half?
Does the torn photo icon appear on ALL of your 1600 X 1200 pictures? It has only appeared on my phone twice, and I have taken perhaps 50 highest resolution pictures.
After sending the torn icon photo to my computer via bluetooth, I could not open it--it's completely whacked.
Hmm...
The only other "Hmm" I have with the Maxx is that my battery indicator stays at full for two days, and then heads toward empty pretty fast. I get about ...
Picture torn in half?
While I generally am very impressed by the camera on the Maxx, twice I have gotten an icon depicting a picture torn in half.
It seems to take the picture just fine, but after saving it, the icon appears.
Ideas?
Re: Separation in your Maxx Ve frame?
It's where the battery cover slides onto the back of the phone. If you were to draw a line from the bottom of the phone to the top, it begins to appear at about the halfway point. If you turn it on the side under bright light, you can see into the phone.
It simply causes me to worry about moisture and longterm durability.
I like the Maxx a lot, but this one thing concerns me.
Re: Easy Way To Get Ringtones To Maxx?
I make sure that my ringtones are less than 350kb.
To begin, I "ctrl click" on the cut down mp3, and choose Get Info. About two thirds of the way down the pop up panel, Name & Extension appears. In that box is where I simply remove the .mp3 designation and type .qcp, and then close.
A small window pops up and asks, "Are you sure you want to change the extension from ".mp3" to ...
Re: Easy Way To Get Ringtones To Maxx?
I have found that sending ringtones to the Maxx via bluetooth is also possible...and pretty easy.
I rename my .mp3s to .qcp--I don't reformat them, just change the ending. I save them to the desktop to find them easily.
After pairing my phone to my computer (a mac), I choose Browse Device, find my_ringers folder and select it, click on send, find my ringtone, and click send to get it to the phone.
And off it goes to show up in ...

Re: pretty much, but...
I know that loads of people on these forums are tired of the RAZR and want something equally as startling upon introduction. But "beating a dead horse"?
You know how many RAZR iterations Motorola has and is selling? Well over 100 million...and counting.
Most of them are pretty good phones, and people buy them because they meet their needs.
Re: battery life
Wow. That's excellent.
How much have you used your phone over those three days? Do you turn it off at night?
I'm averaging about a couple of days. Everything on my Maxx works, so I'm reluctant to exchange it.
Re: MAXX Quality Control = very inconsistent
Thanks, GuyinLACA.
I have had the Maxx for nearly the same amount of time, and like it a lot as well. While getting ringtones to it is a hassle, everything else works on it.
My only reservation is the slight gap on the sides of the phone near the top, between the battery cover and the main part. While virtually everything else is solid and works as it should, that gives me pause. But it's not worth exchanging ...
Re: Go with Maxx now or wait for RAZR2
I'm really enjoying the Maxx. I'm certain it is less expensive than the V9m will be.
You know how it is--wait, and you may or may not like what you get with the V9m. If the Maxx is something you like (as I do) and you can use it right away, I say jump.
Re: Clock size
Nice tip, stevec!
Thanks.
Re: Will A 4GB Micro SD Card Work?
Sorry--I don't know if it will accept a 4GB card.
But why do you take the battery out to get to the card? You don't need to...Or did you mean take the back door off?
Re: Help Deciding
I prefer the look and feel and overall performance of the Maxx Ve. Everything about it is solid, including the reception and transmission. And the camera and flash is outstanding.
Plus, the keypad is much easier to use than on the LG, which has no divisions between each number.
By the way, I've had 3 LG phones before getting the Maxx, each of which was great. So, I'm not an LG basher.

Separation in your Maxx Ve frame?
First, I've had this phone for three weeks now and really like it. I will give my review in a couple of days or so.
But I have one question for all the Maxx Ve owners: at the top of the phone and on the sides, is there a slight separation between the back cover and the main part of the phone? On mine there is a slight separation through which I can just see into my phone. I ...
Re: LG VX-8700 vs motorazr maxx ve
They're both terrific phones.
I chose the Maxx because it has external music controls and a flash (the 8700 does not), but the 8700 is an excellent quality phone. Other than those two things, it does everything well. One other difference - to get to the microSD card you have to remove the battery cover on both phones, and on the 8700, you have to also remove the battery itself--not on the Maxx.
And both of them are beautiful ...
Re: MAXX decision
My wife and i just got two new phones on Verizon. She has a red KRZR, which she likes very much, and I have the Maxx Ve.
Frankly, I like the feel of the KRZR best (I have smallish hands), and for simple phone features, it's great. However, I like to play around with a phone much more than she does, so the better camera (2MP, and a flash), better audio features (stereo bluetooth), and bigger and faster ...
Re: Easy Way To Get Ringtones To Maxx?
It does not appear to work. There is no way to save what I have sent to the phone.
Whatever I send to my phone, either .mp3 or .mid (with all the usual requirements in mind), I can't open the file and my phone won't play it. I get the following error message:
National Access Coverage Not Available
Suggestions?
Re: Talking Caller ID????
Of course. Unless one has poor vision, I can't imagine anyone using the feature.
And I wish it had talking caller ID. Alas...
Easy Way To Get Ringtones To Maxx?
It seems that the good folks at Verizon have blocked sending a ringtone to my phone, opening it and saving it.
What are the easy ways of doing it for the Maxx Ve? I know all about how to make them and what size limit there is, but is there an easy way to get them on the phone?
Suggestions?
Re: battery life
I gave my Maxx a full charge last night, played around with it a little (settings, etc.) and turned it off. Full battery showed.
Turned it on this morning and made about, oh, an hours worth of calls, maybe an hour and a half, and it's down to one. Yikes!
I'm used to an LG 8300, so this is quite the wake up call. Darn...

Re: Formatting a Micro Card?
Thanks, but I cannot get the phone to actually format the card. There is no menu item for formatting that I have found...
Mystery.
Re: question..........
Well, they're not blindingly brilliant, but I wouldn't want them to be. And you can change the settings. Play around with it--you'll like it.
