Re: Battery
edeskins said:
I tried the 1st one but the battery life was just not good enough.
Curious to see how this one will compare to the droid phones and how well they fixed the battery...
Not as good as the Droid battery life, but its Windows Mobile, so that is part of the reason. But I find the battery life to be acceptable.
Re: Boy is this one getting lost in the wash
There are several reasons for this.
1) For every Windows Mobile phone someone buys, VZW has to pay Microsoft a fee per device. With Android, there is no fee to Google. Therefore, it is more profitable for Verizon to sell the Droid over the Omnia 2, or any other Windows Mobile device for that matter.
2) The Omnia 2 is like a Touch Pro 2, it is aimed more towards business(Though the Omnia 2 does have the VCast suite of services). ...
Re: Can't believe they finally released it
I have it. The Swype technology is addicting. The camera is the best I have seen on a phone since the original Omnia. There is a little lag, but its not significant.
I also have the Droid, and i am keeping that phone as well, for the Google Voice app, mainly. The camera sucks on the droid, and it does also have its fair share of problems.
Go for the Omnia II if you are going to be using your ...
Re: Omnia Review after long ownership
I have had no issues with this phone and I have had it for 5 months. I tether, use the internet, bluetooth, and the virtual keyboard isn't too bad.
Here are some suggestions.
1) Use the SPB Mobile Shell or PointUI on this phone. The Samsung Menus are very generic, and useless.
2) If you want to use radio, get a stereo bluetooth headset, and stream your favorite radio through the bluetooth. This approach does not require you to carry that adapter ...
Re: THINK ABOUT THIS
I would do the upgrade. I had the Voyager, then the Dare, then I went back to the Voyager, now I have the Omnia, and I didn't regret changing.
The Omnia has better internet capability with the Opera browser, as well as a much better camera.
Re: my replacement voyager
Maybe you should get a sound proof room in your basement like Tony Soprano had, and stop using the phone for your business...lol
Re: Scratch potential with VX 8700??
Well i switched out my phone on Thursday due to my last one getting as hot as a burning pot, and now the paint by the 7 and pound keys is starting to chip and come off on the inside of the phone. There is no way in hell that I could have done anything to scratch the phone because its in the pouch all the time. Back to the store tomorrow.
Re: Scratch potential with VX 8700??
Thats why it includes a pouch.
No problems with scratches yet.
Re: Still not availible for indirects? YES - please read
I wonder if they are in Circuit City stores in NYC/North Jersey yet.
I need to exchange my 8700. VCast issue, software is missing.
Re: A great phone!
well i guess the Strawberry chocolate is buggy too, since that is an online exclusive as well.

Indirect dealer, probably. The only Verizon store I know on 14th street is actually in the Circuit ...
Re: When is this baby coming to NYC?
Its in Best Buy on 86th and Lexington.
Re: How much is this phone gonna cost???
Full retail is $349.99
Re: AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING BAD enV PHONES???
I had to go through 7 of them.
I swapped them based on the crappy bluetooth, echo issue, the first one was a card reader issue. One had really crappy battery life.
They even sold me one with a really visible scratch on it. It made the phone really ugly.
Now I am on lucky number 7 and it works fine so far.
Re: new every two upgrade?
I paid $50 for the 9900.
When you get the phone, make sure on the two plastic black bars surrounding the internal screen you remove the plastic otherwise its going to look scratched out of the box.
The plastic is difficult to remove, but it is meant to be removed.
Re: V04 Battery Issues????
nah I had the phone on v03 and had battery issues, thats why it went back in 2 days. I love the display though. Its a shame.
Re: Speakerphone Q?
Keep the 8300...The 8600 isn't much better unless you want to read texts from the outside screen or you don't want to use an adapter for the 2.5mm jack..
The 8600 has a lot of the same wallpapers as the 8300, plus one of the display themes of the 8600 is almost identical to the 8300.
Re: November 15th official launch
how much is it full retail?
Re: WHITE CHOCOLATE!
on testman site already
Re: Software version 3 disables MP3?
you don't need to activate it. Its already activated. Just make sure your file names aren't too long.
Speakerphone update
For those with the Speakerphone update, has anyone experienced improved battery life?
Re: Still no FM radio
There are phones that have FM radios. Nokia 6256i, motorola V120e lol.
Re: Signal strength different on 2 phones
I exchanged mine because of this issue. The first phone dropped 6 calls in 24 hours in my house. The second phone ended up keeping 3-4 bars. The second one had to go back because the camera was completely awful, more awful than the first handset. I am now on my third and now i notice that the number 2 button is sticking and its a pain in the neck when I use text messaging.
Re: LG 8300 vs E815..8300 no doube!!
I send about 2500 texts a month. Plus i can't stand red bars so I rotate between my 815 and 8300. The 8300 has blue bars as an option.
Re: LG 8300 vs E815..8300 no doube!!
I also have both phones. I went through 7 815s and now I am on my 2nd 8300.
Pros of the E815
Reception is a little better.
Earpiece is a decent volume.
Cons of the E815
Text messaging is awful, the phone freezes and restarts every 20 messages
Huge and bulky
Weighs a ton
Pros of the LG VX8300
Text messaging is great, no problems.
Nice Flash UI
Nice size
Mobile web browser is quicker and better
VCast Music
Ability to play MP3s as well as WMAs
Cons of 8300
Earpiece is a little ...
Re: Verizon Rep: Emailed Ringtones won't work on 8300!
I have been using pix place. You can make WAV files as your ringtone on the 8300.
You could also consider using a transflash card.
The quality is decent.
Re: im ny can i order now from the florida zip code?
I could vouch for that, especially with how the E815 is.
Re: TO VERIZON REPS!
Im curious about this as well, in particular Best Buy.
Re: im ny can i order now from the florida zip code?
yeah i could understand your point.
We are an impatient bunch here in the tri state area. It's our nature..lol.
Re: im ny can i order now from the florida zip code?
yea i hear ya. I am in jersey as well. It seems that Verizon treats us here as second class for some reason.
Why this phone is out in Chicago and Florida before the greatest city in the world(NYC) is beyond me.
Re: E815 freezes
yea crazy isnt?
Re: E815 freezes
I went through 7 E815s. I just bought a Samsung a930 and it is a better phone with no freezing. I may also buy an LG VX8300 to back up my 930.
The E815 is not a text message friendly phone. I average about 2600 text messages a month.
Re: price
ah its all good, i heard that this phone had RF issues anyway. I am going to see if they have it at Best Buy in Paramus.
price
How much is this phone full retail? I just went to the Best Buy on 86th Street and Lexington Ave in NYC and they didn;t have any.
Re: If you want a Verizon E815, get it soon
Unfortunately it looks like this rumor may be true after all. On Verizon's Website, it states that the E815 is now $49.99, though the full retail is still $289.
We may be seeing the E817 sooner than we think. Skyrocketing prices on Ebay may be coming as theses phones become hard to find in the coming months. Plus that dreaded Verizon UI may make more people jump ship to other carriers as there will be no phones left with the ...
Re: Motorola E817
its probably gonna have the VZW UI...
Re: Why do VZW sales people push the LGvx8100
LGs are predominantly garbage anyway...
My 815 is great.
Re: Holster/belt Clip???
nope...i bought a pouch.
E815 off website for NYC and NJ
I looked at the VZW site a few hours ago and the E815 was still there. However now it is gone here in the New York Metro area.
It seems that there must be a really big back order. Luckily mine had Vcast all along.
Re: Follow-up to the E815
where is the info?
