LG V VX-9800

Could someone explain the purpose of the business card reader and how it works?

I have the 8100 and am very happy with it, but always am looking at the latest and greatest. I am a littles curious about this phone. Some questions I have are:

Not to sound stupid, but what is wireless sync? From what I read, I wouldn't even need it if I use Yahoo for e-mail. Is that correct also?

I don't have VCAST in my area, but if I purchase the $15/mo. package, can I use e-mail 24/7 without incurring airtime charges? Does this also include text, or would I need to also purchase a text package?

What would be the additional things this phone would offer me that the 8100 doesn't?

Thanks for your time. Just wanted to try to gather as much info as possible to help me decide if I even want to venture into this.

Sincerely...

Will this phone have speaker phone function I ask because I have read information on this phone on the Internet and i get different information on different websites.

Maverick13 is a diplomat to all of you in the forum. Take notes from him on diplomacy and how to talk to people on a forum with such quotes as:

"Do you even know what the hell you are talking about?" 😈

"sorry to burst your bubble" 👿

"your wrong" 👿

O, and calling people "tiger"..most likely has "chief" "big guy" "GUY" and in his vocabulary as to talk down. Very effective. Highly recommend to make points and friends. 😲

You remind me of the "king of the nerds" in som many movies from the 80's. Anthony Michael Hall, but on a forum.

Thx for the amusement and your welcome 😎

Guys, this is VZW's answer to the Sidekick/Moto a630. Think about this phone as a web/email/SMS device with some good PDA functionality for a minute....... Now, Sidekick competitor? What do you say?

Someone posted these links on Howard Forums today...the 9800 is now on Verizon's website:

Im really sorry if this was possibly said or asked already...but wut advantage does this have to other phones? Wut extra things can u do with this phone? i realize u can open it up and use a keyboard for 2 way, but is there anything else that its really useful or used for? thanks

does anyone know if this phone has AIM instant messenger? also if it doesnt support html broswing what web sites will you beable to view?

I have heard that this phone will be out before the end of September, but the real question will be how much will it cost??? Will it be closer to what the 8100 came out at or will it be around the $500 level that people are saying that the Samsung 970 will be???

Anyone have word on the release date of this phone?

Anything more than 50$ is going to be an investment for me! Need to know of anything that may be a neg (assumptive) in considering purchasing it.

Launch date: October 1, 2005
Price: $350 - $50mir w/2year
Wireless sync is available for phone
Text to speach
Business card reader

As per infomanager and launch package file

It is on the new approved device list on verizon's internal network (info center) but it lists it under the PDA device's list....This would imply it is either running palm or PPC....Anyone have input on this I dnot see it running the normal system becuase that would not be a PDA then...

THIS PHONE SEEMS TO KNOCK THE SIDE KICK ON IT'S BUTT, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN IT'S COMING OUT.

...according to thinklg.com.

Now will vzw enable it is the question.

I'm new to the podcast thing and would like to know if this unit will play podcast files?

I've heard some cell phones will.

This kind of a design just screams "gaming." Does anyone else not see the resemblance to the latest handhelds from Nintendo? With the nice screen, stereo audio, miniSD storage, and high-speed data that this thing packs, it could be quite a gaming machine.

That said, why is the directional pad on the right? Put it on the left, and you have an instant and huge base of people that know exactly how to use a Game Boy and will be ready to play games on your machine.

It just seems like a waste to put the d-pad on the right like that.

Does this thing do email like from a pop account? if so this def is mine

😳 When will this phone be on the market? and if it already is, where can I purchase it?

Just to clear up a little confusion to previous threads,

There will be wireless sync. I have used the phone and it is a timed sync option. You are able to grab the sync at intervals of 30 mins.
