LG VX-8700

When using the built in Chrysler bluetooth in both of my cars, the person I call cant hear me. It happens with most calls. If the person calls me back, it works fine.

Hello, I'm probably going to get this phone. I'll be upgrading from a VX8300. I've got a few of questions though after reading the reviews.

1. I've read different things about the speakerphone. I use mine mostly for when I'm on hold or navigating menus (for ex. when I'm calling Verizon). Is it good enough for that?

2. It looks like the battery life is about two-thirds of the VX8300. Have you guys noticed anything?

3. I really like desktop chargers. Since the charging port is on the side....do you think they will ever build one for the 8700?

Thanks

I currently have a VX8100, which is finally dying on me. I am stuck between picking the VX8600 and the VX8700. I don’t use many of the extra features of the phone. I make phone calls, take pictures, and send/receive about 3000 text messages a month.

I know the VX8600 can view texts on the front screen, and the VX8700 can't, which does disappoint me, but I can deal with that. Overall, from those that have had both phone, which one is better for phone calls, pictures, texting, and overall?

I am going to buy one of these phones by the end of the week.

REALLY wanting to get this phone!! Please someone let me know whether you can set individual text msg tones for different contacts. Thanks

Does anyone know if a standard USB cable, like the kind used for digital cameras would work to transfer data to and from the cell phone to pc? If not, what are the differences between the two cables? Thanks

I have a pretty basic question about the VX8700. For some reason, when I get a call or a text, the actual phone number is being displayed instead of the name (since these numbers are in my phonebook). I had the 8000 before this and it was never an issue (name was always displayed unless it wasn't in my phonebook). Also, I backed up my contacts from the 8000 using Backup Assistant and then restored them to the 8700 so I wouldn't have to re-enter them. I doubt this has anything to do w/ it, but I thought I would mention it. Is this happening to anyone else? Thanks for your help.

I have had many LG phones and this is the first one that will not connect to my Motorola H700 BT headset. Is anyone else having a problem with their headset? I can pair it but when I try to connect it says it is out of range when I have it sitting right next to the phone.

I just got my 8700. I'm not use to these phones that do so much. My last phone, a VX4400, was..... a phone. So now I'm trying to figure out how to use the features. How do I play music files from my computer? Do I have to use V Cast to play music I already have? I loaded some mp3's to the micro SD, and haven't been able to play them. Can someone give me some directions for a dummy to do this?

Thanks

the vx8600 is a fingerprint magnet. I'm thinking of ordering the 8700, but I hate fingerprints. does the outside cover on the 8700 show fingerprints?

The 8600 has exterior control buttons for MP3 player. I can see that this isn't the case with the 8700, but I don't see them in the interior display's picture. Can anyone say if the MP3 buttons are in a convenient place?

Can someone that has this phone clarify if it has a ringer id? it doesnt say it does on the info page....also can you in someones contact file can you change the text ringer for a certain person like some of the older lg's?? thanks!

$20 more the the 8700. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't see the justification for that thing being even more expensive.

i have and love the 9900, but i don't really need the keyboard. I would love the size of this phone but would mis the battery on the 9900. So here is my deciding factor, if the 2mp camera on the 8700 is to par with the 2mp on the 9900, if it is i think i might buy one....thoughts? If not I will waite on the gzone type s

Has anyone else have a problem with the amout of time it takes to recharge the battery. It takes about 4 hours for me.

I know it was originally supposed to be released on April 17th. Has this changed?

Hey everyone, I had a quick question about the 8700. I'm wondering if it has a texting mode available that isn't T9 or predictive text. I really don't like those styles, and I'm just looking for a normal tap entry like I've had on my Motorolas in the past.

Thanks!

Is it just me or is it nearly impossible to see the front display outdoors in sunlight?? Other than that this phone is great!!

I'm thinking of buying this phone, and I'm seeing most give it a pretty good review. However, no one mentions anything about the external display being the horizontal format, isn't that weird and hard to read?

Do you really have to turn the phone sideways to see what time it is, or to see who's calling?

Those of you that have this phone, what are your thoughts on this?

My employer, along with many others, has a corporate discount with Verizon. The corporate discount price for my employer is $129.99, and I am eligible for the NE2, so I will net out at $29.99. Only issue is that I will have to wait until the end of the month as the online corporate discount process doesn't recognize the NE2 and I have to go through customer service, and they don't yet have the phones to dispense.

🤤 I am seriously close to just buying this phone outright. Someone please tell me more good things about this phone! 😳 We dont have a coperate store here so I will probably have to buy it online 😢
