LG LX-5550 / VX-5550

I'm with Bell in Canada and I'm having major issues with the volume on the ear piece. If there's any background noise at all around me, I can't hear a thing! I have the volume cranked.
If I call bell on *611, it's really loud, so I know it's not the hardware. Is this a phone software or network issue? Anyone else notice this?

Is there any news about this phone being offered by Verizon?

First things first, the standard battery has a power rating of 950 mAh. I've poked around on the internet some but I can't find a solid number to put with the extended battery. Does anyone out there know the actual capacity of the extended battery?

Secondly, as far as data transfers are concerned here's what I've got going. I've looked around at different shops and found that everywhere that is selling a data cable for the LX5550 also shows the VX6000 in the lists of compatibility. So instead of trusting my credit card to just any junky internet shop I went over to www.newegg.com and purchased a data cable for the VX6000 from them.
As for software, I've decided to go with Bitpim. Bitpim was written to work Qualcomm 3G CDMA phones and is ...

Is there any way at all to download photos to the LX5550 USCC version of this phone? I bought this instead of the 6000 camera phone with the understanding that I could download my photos (like I did on my old 4400) through EasyEdge. However the USCC dealers now tell me it's not possible on this phone. Does anyone have any experience with that Datapilot program that is out there? Can photos be downloaded from your pc to the LX5550 with this program? I don't want to spend the money on the Datapilot program just to find out it won't work on the 5550 even though it says it is supported.
Thanks.

Is voice dialing supposed to work when in "Manner" mode? It did on my old VX4500, but not on this LX5550....

IM LOOKIN TO GET RID OF THIS PHONE AT A GOOD PRICE.
IF ANYONE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT nussdjason@hotmail.com

Note that the manual for this phone is now available at LG's web site:

The posted manual is the US Cellular-specific version. It describes Easyedge, for example.

Trying to get info on whether the cable/SW for the VX6000 will work with the 5550 for contact sync?

Obviously the picture uploading wouldn't work, but anyone tried the sync with Outlook contacts?

ANYONE KNOW IF THE ANSWER/END CALL BUTTON WORKS

WITH THE LG 5550. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Anybody know the difference between the LX and VX designation (as far as the end user is concerned)? USCellular is carrying the VX model and I was wondering if the LX reviews apply.

Anyone who has this phone.. Do you know if there is an option to keep the outside display on at all times?? Mine keeps turning off after a few seconds. PLEASE RESPOND. Thank You
