what u guys think???????
Hi guys,
I want your opinion on the phones that i am considering to get next week.
I am keeping my eye on LG 8300, 8600 and samsung a930 (as 990 being too costly for me)
I have earlier asked this question on the 8600 forum but didn't get enough replies. This might provide a better platform
the features i m interested in are:
good speaker phone, games (3D), mp3 capabilities, ability to assign custom ringtones (mp3), speaker quality and music quality, reception, durability,comfort and feel.
Please voice ur opinion and let me know.
I am already plannin to leave 8600 out... but still not finalised
thanx in advance.......

the 8300 wins in all those categories.
excellent speakerphone(only drawback is the phone must be open to use) Samsung not as loud
2.Games, vcast games kick ass on all the vcast phones(I like tiger woods golf) The display seems a little bigger on the 8300(might just be me, I don't have the samsung in front of me right now, but i can say the keypad feels better on the 8300(helps when playing)
3.Mp3 capability, with the new software the 8300 is capable of this out of box!
4. Custom ringtones, just send your own through mms messaging on the 8300, just cut a mp3 down to like 30seconds and 350kb(search 8300 forum for further instruction, very easy)
because of the dual speakers on the 8300 it has the best music playback sound of any phone I ha...

Don't get the 8300 its sucks on a lot of levels, I would wait for something better.
...
Well I am very critical of anything I buy, or its not worth buying, and there is no use buying crap lol.
...
What didn't you like about it? It was an excellent phone? I know you get no servcice at your house, but other than that and the normal Verizon phone gripes what was wrong with yours?
...
Even i'd like to know what is wrong with your phone. with all the research i ve done on this phone, i decided to but this one till i stumbled on the samsungs mainly due to fact i am not a huge fan of external anttenas...
...
Well nothing against it cosmetically, but since you asked.
buttons were too small
the batt didn't last long even with charging it every night and I only had the phone for about 2 1/2 months
the menu options were non responsive at times taking it a couple of seconds to catch up with itself
The UI made it harder to navigate in the sense that you couldn't use the icons with the number assigned to them, which with icons makes it quicker to navigate.
The speaker phone on mine wasn't as loud as everyone said theirs was
You couldn't close the phone with speakerphone on.
Horrible front display, hard to see.
screen was small for VZ navigator
and what I don't get in regards to the UI is that they had the option of Flash, Silv...

buttons being small is not a worry for me..
does anyone had the same problem with menu options being non responsive at times??
may be u got a crappy set ??u might me one in hundreds

no! We sell a ton of those and I have heard nbothing but good things. On top of that it has some of the largest buttons of any phone we cary, so not sure were that complaint is coming from. The outside display is hard to read in direct sunlight, any phone with color on the front has this issue.
...
and what I don't get in regards to the UI is that they had the option of Flash, Silver spin, and a few others, now what I dont get is that why can't you just have the manufacturers UI on the other brand of phones since you are already putting on numerous ones already, that doesnt make any sense.
They did, LG made the Standard UI, so this is the UI that come with the 8300 with or without VZW request to make it Standard.
...
I only hop on here to correct people when wrong info is givin ...but christ dude! I'd rather listen to constant whining from a woman than your constant bitching over vzw. you complain so much and just need to change carriers. quit being a troll. I had trouble and a bad experience with Levitz, but I don't hang outside their office and bitch to people coming in. get a life.

Battery life and Battery performance
You don't wanna get something that can't even last a full day without needing a charge

does anyone have a better suggestion in terms of phone???

Cingular or T-Mobile will always have better battery life. It's a GSM vs. CDMA thing
Check out the Nokia 6315. That seems to have the best battery life for a non-PDA Verizon phone.

Okay well the UI will definately cut down on all that, yeah I would go with Cingular.

Dont listen to schlittertex, he is a troll and will say bad stuff about verizon all day long just to start a flame war.
I have the 8300, use the mp3 player for about 2 hours a day and talk for about an hour a day and charge it every 2-3 nights, it is generally regarded the best phone Verizon has out and that backs up my thoughts 100%, I have sold 100's of the model so far and have never had even a SINGLE person come back in unhappy with it.

Do, and let us know what you think of it, I am confident you will love it overall
...
I say all 3 phones are good and you should get the one you like the most. I peronally like the new LG vx8600, looks great! Good look on your phone search!
...
good speaker phone, games (3D), mp3 capabilities, ability to assign custom ringtones (mp3), speaker quality and music quality, reception, durability,comfort and feel.
LG VX8300 will meet/exceed all you requirements it's a highly recommended phone by VZW and the Customer Reviews are good too, go to the 8300 area and read the reviews/forum
...
I would choose the Lg8600, but cannot do custom ringtones, and speaker isnt all that great. But overall an awesome phone. I just activated my lg8600 from the lg8100.
