I have owned this phone for nearly 6 months, and it does do all that can be expected from the capabilities it has, but, although minimal, this phone does tend to be a little slow at responding at times, but that is minimal and does not happen very much at all. The only issue I have really had with this phone is the battery life. The battery life of this phone is the worst of any phone I have ever had. Sometimes I have to charge it 2 or 3 times a day every day without even using it most of the day. I have to keep it on the charger over night, or it will be dead before I wake up in the morning, even if I have it fully charged before I go to bed. It is over all an excellent phone in my opinion, but the battery stinks. I'm not sure all the batteries for this phone are bad, but I know the battery for this phone is aggravating. The battery is why I rate this phone at a 3.0.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=38558#review38558 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=38558#review38558 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 19:50:45 GMT <p><i>narn3049 submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>the phone shuts off freezes, and the numbers sometimes dont dial properly</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=34684#review34684 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=34684#review34684 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 06:26:59 GMT <p><i>cbrackenbury submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My priorities are call quality, volume, vibrate then ring, easy to read clock and long battery life<br /><br />PROS:<br />looks cool<br />small enough<br />good screen quality<br />scratch resistant<br /><br />CONS:<br />speakerphone would feedback easily<br />earpiece is awkward when flipped<br />call volume low<br />speaker volume low<br />no vibe then ring feature (really miss that)<br />would make random calls when in pocket<br />screen would get black bars and need reboot<br />camera quality weak<br />buttons always got pressed in my pocket<br />failed for no reason after one year (can't boot up)<br /><br />Actually going back to the se47 now which was a better PHONE than this thing.

Decent Camera and video. Speaker phone is very good, and you can actually keep it on all the time. My one big complaint about this phone is that out of all my verizon phones that I have had and currently have with the family plan, is it drops calls (Buffalo NY area) ever once in a while. I don't lose calls with any of my other phones(at least if I have I don't recall-or rarely have.) This phone doesn't drop the call all the time. It is more of an annoyance than a problem, but then again, I haven't had a call lost on an important call, i'm sure it would then be a problem! This phone has also shut off on me for some reason while doing text messages. Again annoyances.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Screen/Picture <br />Camera<br />Speaker Phone/Sound<br />Call Quality(other than Dropping calls)<br /><br />Cons: Dropped calls</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=32680#review32680 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=32680#review32680 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:48:48 GMT <p><i>msx15626 submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is the best phone on the planet!!!!<br /><br />Pros<br />*The wide screen feature.<br />*Decent camera and video.<br />*Really clear picture when watching videos on.<br />* Even though it is not a qwerty key pad it is still really easy to text.<br /><br />Cons<br />With the screen open you have to slant it to hear.<br /><br />Speaker phone button is really easy to turn on.<br /><br />when the music player is on you can't do anything else.<br /><br />No games.<br /><br />The cons are just simple things that people can deal with all in all I think it is a really good phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=31843#review31843 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=31843#review31843 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:16:47 GMT <p><i>foxyballa submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>yoo people should i get dis fone or should i get da env 2 people write ur reviews bout this whenever you get a chance because i need to decide which one would be better quick</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=31356#review31356 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=31356#review31356 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 01:09:41 GMT <p><i>ericrop submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this is a very nice phone how ever dont expect live world serires or nfl games yet .those live espn highlights are cool still can get price is right and other shows the screen is awesome its small just a little bit bigger is helpfull dont expect internet is like the dare is not java supported .appication espn mvp and weather channel etc screen size is awesome .if buy this phone be prepair to buy a usb cord for music it doesnt come with it for the money its the best muti media phone yet enjoy</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=29953#review29953 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=29953#review29953 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:22:09 GMT <p><i>phonefreakk9 submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I love everything about i except there is no lock key:( every phone with the power button on the outside needs the lock button. i hope my review was helpfull:) <br /><br />GET THIS PHONE ITS AWESOME!!!!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=29565#review29565 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=29565#review29565 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:31:18 GMT <p><i>mannyg submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is absolutely the best phone I have ever had, and I have had a lot of phones.

It didn't take long to get used to the upper placement of the keypad. the sound and picture/tv quality are great. The phone is easily handled. Looks good. Big screen.<br /><br />Now for the down side. I had to return the phone 3x in 2 weeks. Each time they gave me a brand new one as a replacement. The phone has intermittent Blue Tooth issues. It doenst like to Digit dial with the Bluetooth. # different new out of box 9400's and they all did the same thing. I paired the phone with my BT, my wife's and my son's. the phone still had the same issues. We are talking GOOD BT sets. Also the last phone would do weird things and bring up weird stuff for instance when hitting the send button, or speaker button it would bring up other menus intermittently.<br /><br />Could be a really nice phone..Verizon needs to work out the bugs first.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27798#review27798 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27798#review27798 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:15:42 GMT <p><i>skyking14u submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I work in the cellular industry, so I see a lot of cell phones. I got a LG-VX9400 for myself about a month ago, and love almost everything about it. My only "wish-it-was-different" is with the camera feature, the focal length is very wide angle, but I rarely use that feature, so no big deal. But the phone itself and the VCast TV/Video feature--WOW!! I like to eat my lunch away from work, and I either watch TV programs or VCast Video Clips of the news, sports, financials, or whatever, while I'm eating my lunch. I'm kept current on what I need to know. Other people around me are jealous that I have that capability on my cell phone--even people with a PDA phone. And everything else on this phone is how I want it to be--good call quality, good reception, smooth functions, easy menu, nice big high definition quality screen. I would say this phone is a really good investment.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27466#review27466 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27466#review27466 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 23:55:35 GMT <p><i>phonefreak24 submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Love the music, mobile TV, sounds pretty loud, call quality is crystal clear, swiveling action is smooth, music downloads super quick, and i like the navigation pad.<br /><br />Pros:-Camera 1.3mp<br />-keypad<br />-TV<br />-call qulaity<br /><br />Cons:-phone does not sound good during a phone call when in t-shape!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27190#review27190 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27190#review27190 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:21:02 GMT <p><i>gatorgirl submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I just bought this phone and it is amazing! I have had many and I mean many phones from Verizon since 2004, and this is by far the best phone. The features are amazing and the swivel display is simply fantastic. The sound on the phone is crystal clear and the ring volume is so loud. I haven't used the TV feature on it yet so I can't comment on that but from what I hear it is clear and sounds like you are watching a real tv. Thanks LG and Verizon for coming up with a great phone for a great price. I recommend this phone to anyone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27064#review27064 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=27064#review27064 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 01:44:42 GMT <p><i>finesse1 submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've used many cell phones, but LG has always been my favorite. And THIS phone is THE best - by far!<br /><br />I had tried a different one&amp; didn't like it so I returned it before the 30 days. I couldn't make up my mind which to try next, so I waited a few weeks. I'm so glad I did! The 9400 wasn't even out yet when I 1st went. I really lucked out because it didn't cost me a thing. I had a credit for renewing my contract, did the purchase online to avoid laying out any money &amp; got the rebate immediately.<br /><br />It took a few weeks to get used to accessing the numbers &amp; to text by swiveling, but that was easy to adjust to. I plan on doing a very long drive soon, so the GPS was one of the selling features for me. (My son has the GPS feature on another phone &amp; swears by it. He does a lot of traveling &amp; loves it.) The TV - of course! I'll be moving south &amp; what a perfect thing to have while at the beach!<br /><br />PRO'S:<br /><br />Light weight<br />Easy to use<br />Great, clear display<br />Landscape after swiveling gives more pic &amp; text at once<br />Double lock capability (something I haven't seen anyone else mention)<br />Back of the phone is scratch resistant since it's a better material<br />Music <br />TV<br />GPS<br />Video<br />My expensive old headset is compatible<br /><br /><br />CON'S: (barely worth mentioning)<br /><br />The ringtones are only numbered instead of named like they used to be<br />Cost of V-Cast kit (haven't purchased it yet)<br />Text messages are erased automatically when you reach a certain point (before 30). But I've learned to lock messages quickly that I don't want to disappear!<br /><br />I highly recommend the 9400. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 is really because of the cost of the V-Cast kit. $50 is steep. But I will end up getting it soon. If anyone knows a truly reliable site that has it for a better price, please let me know! Otherwise I'll just get it from Verizon. It may be a few dollars cheaper on line from them. I'll start shopping for the kit very soon.<br /><br />Buy this phone! You won't need to upgrade again for a long time!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=26886#review26886 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=26886#review26886 Thu, 20 Dec 2007 15:46:02 GMT <p><i>WashCaps submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had this phone for about a week and truly no flaws.<br /><br />The screen clarity is fantastic!<br /><br />The menu is very intuitive as well as the design.

When i got this phone, there was a promotion, and i took my dad's 100 dollar upgrade. I ended up getting this phone for free with a 2 GB memory card and headphones, also for free. The phone is very solid physically and wirelessly. Also, nobody seems to have this phone, so i get compliments on it all of the time. Mobile TV is available in my area, and it is pretty amazing what comes through the screen! its almost high definition! Lets get to the pros and cons:<br /><br />PROS:<br />-Awesome Screen<br />-Good Camera<br />-Solid<br />-Great Signal<br />-Mobile TV is awesome<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Keypad is scratched a bit from the screen swiveling<br />-ugly antenna (only needed for Mobile TV)<br />-front screen scratches easily.<br /><br />OVERALL, i would recommend this phone over the new upcomming LG Venus, and LG Voyager, because i was debating whether to get one or not, and i like the 9400 much better!<br /><br />BUY THIS PHONE!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=26056#review26056 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=26056#review26056 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 05:27:49 GMT <p><i>Beuclair submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone has great battery life,good screen,T.V.good look,and all that good stuff.<br /><br />pros<br />0 battery life<br />0 beutiful screen<br />0 mp3 supports different files<br />0 cool swivel action<br />0 video and picture<br />0 loud speaker<br /><br />cons<br />0 again with the camera<br /><br />Thats all,I highly reccomend this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=25979#review25979 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1049&r=25979#review25979 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 01:05:57 GMT <p><i>sdrawkcabnipyt submitted this review of the LG VX-9400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The 9400 is without a doubt, the best phone i have used to this day. I work in the wireless industry as well and i must say this is one phone I do not get complaints about. I have tested a wide variety of phones such as The LG Chocolate VX-8500 and VX-8550, VX-8600, VX-8700 and also the Krzr in the last 5months and all those phones didn't even compare to the VX-9400's superiority in battery life, reception, and downloading speeds. <br /><br />The 9400 was the first phone i could take up into the Santa Cruz mountains, Ca, and still have service. Also the phones durability still surprises me to this day. Not only do I drop my phone regularly (I seem to forget when its sitting in my lap =P) but also I have accidentally left this phone overnight in sprinklers, and it still is working perfectly. <br /><br />Unfortunately in my area we do not have the Mobile TV towers so i haven't been able to truly test the TV but the VCAST videos flow seamlessly across my screen, and i wouldn't expect any less from the TV.<br /><br />Using the music feature with my 2GB micro SD card is one of the most pleasing features about this phone, Not only is it easy to use but its loud. People are always surprised, but unlike other phones I have tested such as the 8550, the phone does not allow you to play music while using other features on the phone or even while searching separate Artists. But it will allow you to search through whatever criteria you select.<br /><br /><br />as far as pro's and con's<br /><br />Pro's:<br />-Great Battery Life<br />-Unique Style<br />-Loud Speaker (Music Player)<br />-Fast Downloading and Uploading speeds<br />-Great Reception<br />-Very easy to use (Minus the first day getting used to the flipped numbers and directional pad keys)<br /><br />Con's:<br />-Speaker phone always turns on in my pocket<br />-Annoying for calls where you must key in numbers (Such as voice mail)<br />-I don't like the incredibly long Antenna used for TV (but thats just an aesthetic thing)<br />-Music player cannot be minimized and used while using other features on the phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1049
