I bought it shortly after it came out - a little over 4 years ago I believe. When my 2 year upgrade came after the first 2 years, I skipped it to keep this phone. Why, you may ask? Well, I have reasons.<br /><br />Pros<br />BATTERY LIFE - I had the extended battery and it could go through a week of HEAVY usage before it needed to be charged.<br />CAMERA - It was only a 1.3 MP but it had autofocus - pictures looked beautiful on it.<br />KEYBOARD - Perfectly laid out, comfortable, and you could write lightning fast on it.<br />FEATURES - For a phone this old it was feature packed.<br /><br />There are some CONS<br />SIZE - It was huge. Made a huge bulge in my pocket and would completely bring my pants down if I didn't have a belt.<br />MEMORY - used a MiniSD. It took me forever to find one of those. I like MicroSD better!<br /><br />After almost 4 years of usage, it bit the dust. Just refused to pick up a signal. Verizon couldn't fix it, so they sent me the enV2. It doesnt compare. I have since upgraded to the enV3, which is much better, but still, the VX9800 was the best phone around.</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=704 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=35188#review35188 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=35188#review35188 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:51:05 GMT <p><i>narn3049 submitted this review of the LG V VX-9800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Sure, any phone isn't perfect, as is this phone, but it doesn't mean there are going to be some likers of the phone, as is this phone, w me also. <br /><br />1st phone had broken screen, It wasn;t color the whole screen looked gray.<br /><br />2. The phone froze at the Verizon turn on screen, a common bug I hear<br /><br />3. Water damaged, and the keys on the inside sometimes weren't functioning, try texting on that?!? <br /><br />4. Finally I kept this one, it had no major flaws, I can say looking back at technology, and so far having phones I have dropped and broken, this is one I may go back with because even though I was kind of getting mad at in the other reviews, it is still something I wouldn't complain about getting if I had to.</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=704 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=32935#review32935 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=32935#review32935 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:12:58 GMT <p><i>gophone123 submitted this review of the LG V VX-9800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Well i owned it for a couple months and Its really good the only thing is its kinda old and its pretty fat to.It comes with a bunch of cool rings Number 9 is my fav Its got the full qwerty key board witch rocks its basically the cousin of the enV <br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />Full keyboard<br />Dual stereo speakers<br />Mini SD slot<br />COOL!

However, it's worth it! I went through hoops to get this phone. I ended up with this phone because I discovered a software called Bitpim. This would allow me to create my own ringtones instead of choosing from a long list of artists that I did not want to have on my phone. I'm a Donna Summer fan, so I wanted Donna Summer ringtones. Now, I am able to create any ringtone I want from any artist I want and from any section of a song that I want. Thanks to Bitpim, Wavepad, and the LG VX9800's compatibility to perform this task. No money spent on ringtones and the abiblity to custom my phone to my liking. It's a now discontinued phone, but it still rocks!</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=704 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=26996#review26996 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=26996#review26996 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 11:45:54 GMT <p><i>ambalpkd submitted this review of the LG V VX-9800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ok, so I'm a third time LG user, and I've had the 9800/V for about 3 months now.

This phone, although scary in many aspects of how it looks, is a perfect example of "Don't judge a book by it's cover." In a matter of only a month This handset went for my worst enemy to my best friend.<br /><br />Sporting a flip open profile to hide it's keyboard it saves space when in a pocket and fits very soundly in drink holder. The texting was amazing after 2 years of T9 and required only a week to match texting times. The stereo speakers on the inside offers great sound quality, plus the speaker phone mic has a good pick up for excellent conversations.<br /><br />Now unfortunately our friend the 9800 doesn't do to good as a "phone". Significant quality drops vs. a normal clamshell or candy bar phone are very noticeable. Many times i find myself either repeating or asking for repetition throughout a conversation without a headset. The Bluetooth is also fairly anti-social in that it will not auto connect to a paired headset. I am regular forced to dive in the menu and make it look for the headset, an annoying problem for an on the go person.<br /><br />To conclude, The LG VX9800 is an awesome phone for media, texting, and instant messaging, but lacks luster in every aspect of being a phone outside of the speaker phone.<br /><br />PROS<br />QWERTY keyboard<br />-Easy learning curve<br />-Excellent speaker and speaker phone<br />-Quick switching from open to closed in Messaging and phone calls<br /><br />CONS<br />-Bluetooth doesn't auto connect<br />-Wallpapers do not fit front screen<br />-Key guard has been known to close apps and alerts<br />-poor audio volume when closed.</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=704 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=22398#review22398 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=22398#review22398 Wed, 04 Apr 2007 23:51:23 GMT <p><i>The Thickster submitted this review of the LG V VX-9800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This LG 9800 is an amazing flip/txt phone. Mainly used for super fast texting, it also supports Verizons V-Cast and plays music video downloads and pretty much any other videos that Ive recorded.....hmm. The speaker sound for the Mp3 is actually the loudest ever made. I can set that little bugger down in the middle of a room full of people and that thing just soars over the somewhat sober yelling (of age sometimes) people. The most useful phone Ive ever had, I use it not only for entertainment purposes but also for Navigation since it has such a large screen and loud sound capabilty its very useful for traveling. I believe its alot better than the 9900 or the "envy" because although its thicker in size the sound is so much louder. If you ever want the best Mp3 phone ever that kills your data bills (because you never want to stop downloading songs cause its basically a stereo) this is the one.<br /><br />I wouldn't have it any other way!<br /><br />Make money<br /><br />The Thickster</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=704 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=20947#review20947 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=20947#review20947 Fri, 05 Jan 2007 22:28:49 GMT <p><i>apizzox3 submitted this review of the LG V VX-9800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this phone sucks<br />i have had it since Jan of 2006 and i broke 7 of them since then<br />the ringer isn't that loud<br />the phone breaks all the time and freezes<br />its only good for texting lovers</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=704 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=20868#review20868 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=704&r=20868#review20868 Mon, 01 Jan 2007 16:43:49 GMT <p><i>gumberella submitted this review of the LG V VX-9800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Txt messaging font too small.

Something just keeps going wrong with them. For my first phone, the vibrate did not work at all. For the second, the key lights went out so I could not see the keys at night. And for the third, calls would not go through and I could not make calls either. And the one I have now randomly turns off while I am texting and calling. I have tried to see if I can just get a whole new model and quit with this phone, but they just keep giving me more of the same phone and none of them work well enough. <br /><br />If I could go back, I would choose a different phone all together.<br /><br />SOME...<br /><br />Pros.<br />Fast texting when open.<br />Speaker phone can be loud if needed.<br />Big screen when open.<br /><br />Cons.<br />Small buttons in front.<br />Dark camera.<br />Video length is pathetic.<br />Thick and does not fit in pocket very well.<br />Speaker phone only works when open<br />Inbox and outbox for texting fills up very quickly, when it fills, it rejects messages. Not good.<br /><br />OVERALL...<br />Don't get this phone unless you are dying to get it.
