I really like it, one of the benefits of owning it is that it has a camera lens cover, so if in your pocket with something then it won't scratch your lens. I really hope more phones come out with this kind of design.<br /><br />The one flaw I have been having with this phone is, I'll go to send a message (text) and I'll press send to send the message, it wont send the message. I will have to take out the battery and coponents and insert them again to get it to power back on. This doesn't really bug me though, since it is not so signifficant and I just wanted to mention it to you, this phone gets a 5.0, i have owned the 6000, well more played with one at verizon when my friend was getting a new phone years back, and while the volume bug existed on the 6000, and some people claim for it to be on the v6100 i can surely say it isn't. Now I've owned a lot of phones, even a gzone, and they had flaws. This one out of the 19 or so I have owned has had the best call quality ever. I would truly recommend it.</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=263 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=26228#review26228 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=26228#review26228 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 16:41:30 GMT <p><i>gullieesun submitted this review of the LG VX-6000:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for about two year, and to tell you it is a really dependable phone. <br />Camera is good in well lit areas.<br />The phone is very sturdy, and I rarely had a drop call. <br /><br />Pro:<br />looks<br />stability<br />clear volume <br /><br />cons:<br />no speaker phone.<br /><br />over a great phone recommended</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=263 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=20967#review20967 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=20967#review20967 Sat, 06 Jan 2007 20:24:16 GMT <p><i>maxwellrich submitted this review of the LG VX-6000:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was my first phone and it has held up well.

The main things that were bad about it were:<br /><br />* Camera is just a toy, really. Poor resolution, no flash.<br /><br />* Reception: Your mileage may vary, mine was poor at work (downtown Chicago); make sure you have a trial period, and check your favorite hang-outs for service.<br /><br />* Clock is dependent on cell phone service, which is, IMO, just plain DUMB -- it means that the critical reminders you programmed into your phone might not remind you at all, if your phone reboots in an area without service! What the heck were they thinking?! A hearing aid battery can keep a digital watch running for months! Why make the clock dependent on a cell phone tower?! Sheesh.<br /><br />* Side buttons get pressed in your pocket, putting the phone into silent mode (not even vibrating), causing you to MISS YOUR CALLS! Great phone design there.<br /><br />* Not enough space in the phone memory to fit a complete address -- what's that about?<br /><br />* One smart move I made was to buy two batteries at the initial purchase; well worth it.<br /><br />* There is no way to have the phone ring quietly and vibrate; it's either vibrate-only or vibrate and LOUD.<br /><br />* Some of the default ring-tones are incapable of being heard from across a three-bedroom apartment. I'm only 32; I shouldn't be hard-of-hearing yet. So I... you guessed it... MISSED MY 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=263 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=17781#review17781 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=17781#review17781 Tue, 18 Jul 2006 20:55:19 GMT <p><i>GrandHustle413 submitted this review of the LG VX-6000:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>ok when i got this phone in 2004 (first phone) i liked it. it had camera, color screen, the moving front screen lol, and text messaging. now after 2.5 years of abuse, i realized that this phone is junk.<br /><br />pros<br />-kinda small size<br />-voice ringers<br />-can put it on vibrate without openinig it<br /><br />cons<br />-camera sucks<br />-the cradle charger doesnt work anymore<br />-battery life sucks<br />-reception is garbage<br />-very little memory<br />-menus get slow after a while<br />-i dont wanna be here all day so im gonna stop here<br /><br />if someone gives you this phone as a replacement, DONT TAKE IT!!!!!! use insurance or save up $150 and buy a brand new one from verizon<br /><br />im sooooo glad i have the vx8300 now =]</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=263 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=17277#review17277 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=17277#review17277 Thu, 22 Jun 2006 19:53:34 GMT <p><i>Kay338 submitted this review of the LG VX-6000:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>So far i had this phone for over 1.5yrs and its been great. The camera is decent, it takes good pictures in good lighting, in the dark not so well. With average use i managed to get little scratches, the antenna is beginning to peel the plastic layer. The battery is dying slowly, now with average use the phone died for me within 8hours. i was at work and just messing around with it, and when i was leaving work the battery was flashing and died. Thats what you get for using the same phone for over a year. But pretty much its in great condition i dropped it numerous amounts of times and its still handeling itself very well. The phone has also been acting up, i've been getting dropped calls and my calls are not getting through and such, but all this has just started to happen, so its a problem with overtime wear. I would still recommend this phone to anyone, the only reason i wouldnt recommend it is because of the camera in this day and age. VGA is still good but with the new phones comming out with Megapixels, that is a plus.</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=263 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=16664#review16664 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=16664#review16664 Sun, 21 May 2006 01:47:15 GMT <p><i>flyingcowsatsht submitted this review of the LG VX-6000:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is quite interesting<br /><br />2004--biggest thing ever one of the best phones out there like everyone I knew had it including myself and everyone I knew who didn't have it wanted it.<br /><br />2 years later<br /><br />2006--This is the worst phone out there.

Phone functioned adequately for 3 months before dropping DEAD!! Would not receive or make calls but still powered on. Sent to LG for repairs, received a new one. Battery kept having to be reset, and it finally after 2 months would not receive calls. Sent back to LG through Verizon, who told me that his model was being replaced with the VX6100 and it was sent to me as a replacement. LG, however, sent another VX6000 back to me for all my trouble. This phone I gave to my son for a replacement for his LG510 which had also dropped DEAD!! After sending the VX6000 to him in Florida it lasted 2 weeks before it began dropping calls, would only work when being charged,(new battery made no difference) could barely understand conversations; etc. Am now in the process of acquiring another brand of phone to replace these LG's. Also 2 weeks ago, purchased an LG VX4400 (factory refurbished) to replace another line on Family plan. This new? phone lasted 4 days after activation; dropped calls, no ring, etc. Have been given a refund by Seller. As you can see by now I am not an LG lover! Fortunately, the Vx 6100 is still operational, but for how long?<br /><br />VX6000 Pros: Love the color front display, especially at night when driving.<br /><br /><br />VX6000 Cons: Poor reception, poor quality, cheaply made, and the units evidently have many manufactured electronics flaws!!! LG needs to get their act together.</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=263 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=12955#review12955 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=12955#review12955 Tue, 08 Nov 2005 01:17:46 GMT <p><i>blumajik06 submitted this review of the LG VX-6000:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The LG VX6000 is a good camera phone. I am very hard on my phones and like to use them for a while until my next upgrade. My LG VX6000 has been beaten up to the point where the battery will not even stay on without being taped. The back of my phone went from being silver, to grey. I must say, that I am surprised this phone has lasted so long. I had a kyocera slider a while back. Dropped it sevrel times and the thing wound up getting severly messed up. I must admit though, as much as I like the 6K, it does has its Cons. The phone often hits bugs and needs replaceing. SO far I'm on my 3rd 6K in about 1 year or 2. Here is my list of pros and Cons about the phone<br /><br />PROS: Gets good reception, has good battery life, durable, has a decent camera, is great for text messageing(keys are nice and big) and cool looking.<br /><br />CONS: has a bugs that ruin the phone and you need a replacement. The camera can only hold 20 pictures.</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=263 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=12690#review12690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=263&r=12690#review12690 Mon, 24 Oct 2005 21:22:47 GMT <p><i>lgphone_man submitted this review of the LG VX-6000:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Although my phone is nearly 2 years old, it has given me a million problems throughout the last year.

I am in a suburb of a small town and getting service with ATT was difficult. It usually came down to setting my phone in the window and using a headset. <br /><br />I switched to Verizon because of the "iN" network. I get fairly decent service with the phone yet the software and durability of the phone is questionable. I am a 20 y/o male that works at a gas station while going to college. Needless to say I am rough on my products.
