The fact is most of you dont know how to use the v710!!! Every complaint I have heard on here I have yet to experience on my phone.. Lg8000 is a toy for those without experience in technology. V710 is for those who have a little common sense!!! Enough said, dont read any further....

WOW has guitar_guy finally got around all his hatred for the 710 😳 , I commend you on a great comparison 😁 . But can we leave it at that and stop posting to every question about anything pushing the 8000 😎 .

Actually the VX8000 has a crippled MP3. I have tried to download an MP3 to it and have had no success. According to Verizon they told me that they might have a fix for this in the future. LG told me it was up to Verizon to getthis to work. If anyone knows anyway to get MP3s on this phone without a cable, PLEASE let me know. The same goes for Video Clips if anyone can let me know what file types the VX8000 can use and how to put the on without a cable it be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
