LG VX-8100
Functions???
Does anyone know where i can find the functionality of this phone? Particularly i am looking for if you can answer the phone w/ the clamshell closed since it has the function keys on the front. Also, is that the true look of the phone, why the hell would the make a portion of the phone blue? Am i really going to have to paint it, lol??? I would love to see the details of what this phone can do and i just havent been able to find anything.
Thanks
Thanks

The buttons on the front look like they're for mp3 playback, not for any phone functionality. But they could be dual purpose. Looking at the pic, I think the 2 small holes below the keypad are for the mic, in which case you'd have to open it in order to talk into the mic, so if I had guess, I'd say no, you cannot answer w the phone closed. But we won't really know until someone who actually has one can comment.

Correction: looks like the single hole directly below the '0' key is the mic. The 2 'holes' to either side are probably the little rubber bumpers to protect the screen when you close the phone. I'm thinking that since the mic is pretty much only accessible after you open it, you would have to open it to answer. True, the twin side speakers should allow you to hear, but you cannot really talk back. Like I said, this is all pure conjecture though... 🙂

not true, on my 4500 the mic is in the speaker protion of the speaker phone when the Speaker phone is turned on.

Use a bluetooth headset and the phone can remain closed. LG has yet to make a phone that can be used with a conventional headset with the flip closed. I currently have a v710 and it can remain closed in BT mode, but not in spkrphone or with a wired headset.

Maybe you meant to say something else, because what you wrote isn't true. In fact, I'm not aware of any CDMA phone LG makes that doesn't worked, clamshell closed, with a standard 2.5mm hands-free. I've used from the VX-10 forward.

Can you use the button on headsets to answer calls and initiate voice dialing? My headset doesn't have the button.

You're right, 😁 I was meaning to say that it cannot be answered with the clamshell closed. With my old vx6k I had to open the flip to connect then close it. The calls (except for land line calls) would subsequently end automatically. From my experience in the retail and repair business, the only phones that will accept an answer button are Motorola phones with Motorola headsets.

Interesting. I didn't know they put 2 mics on phones. Ok, I stand corrected. The main mic isn't an indication of whether closed would work.
