Semi-Disappointed :?

So I have been waiting for this phone since I saw the initial FCC approval on phonescoop.. I read all of the reviews from people who had gotten the phone immediately off the internet. My #1 pet peeve with Verizon phones has been the universal menu with the red banners. Then the 8300 came out and I loved the customization, fun animations, colors for the banners, etc..

Sorry to disappoint, but the version you played with is the same verison we've been selling like hot cakes. There are of course the two animations you speak of.

Thanks for the info.. I really just wanted one banner color- purple. The one that is missing ☚ī¸ It's ok about the animations though because I usually use pics or video for that anyway.. I was just wanting the one with the horoscope signs like the 8300. 🙂

I try so many phone with flash camera... all of them suck... I try the LG 8500 and I'm very inmpress with the camera. Cause I was taking pics with the phone in a pretty dark area. The pics come out better than I expected. This is a very cool phone. If you like to take pics in the dark. I would recommend bring a camera with you... Camera phone dont take good pics at night...

yes, totally. camera phones are only good when there's sufficient lighting...even if they do have a flash.
