LG VX-8300

I just got a new family plan from verizon. I was attracted by the buy one get one deal. I want a phone with a good mp3 player that is easy to use. So currently I am trying the samsung sch a950 and lg vx-8100. I am not sure what I want to do because I like the idea of a new phone no one else has (vx-8300) but is it worth the price difference? I am leary of a brand new phone fresh on the market too, most new phones always seem to have some errors? Am I safe to get it when it comes out or should I wait? I was thinking of getting one (950 or 8100) now and then in a few months sell mine on ebay and buy the 8300? Wich one will be worth more the 950 or 8100? What makes the most sense I need a phone now and my trial period has 13 days left wh...

I've done some looking and have so far been unable to find what version of bluetooth this thing is gonna have.

With all the new features Im hopeful it will be 2.0 or at least 1.2. Then again I can't say I'd be shocked to find out its still 1.1 🙄

My last Motorola had voice recognition whereas u did not have to pre-record the name of the person. The VX-7000 did not have this feature. Does the 8300?

Does this phone have an indicator light somewhere?

will you finally be able to use the speakerphone with the phone closed?

the 8300 appeared on verizons equipment guide page for employees today. release date is listed as "dependent on sell thru of the lg vx 8100" a few really encouraging things appear in the literature. i'll quote for accuracy

>bluetooth capable(v1.1) compatible with devices that support the headset, hands-free, serial port, dial up networking (broadband access connect, and object push profiles
>send vcard to another bluetooth capable device

>save up to 1500 photos
(factoring in external memory i'm assuming)

>coming soon, vznavigator via get it now on 6/13

also video is listed to have two separate modes. flix messaging mode limited to 15 second clips and general mode up to 1 hour of video.

i'm not sure if i was the only one but...

I wonder if we will be able to find a way to turn off EVDO and teather using the old 1x slower method, but without having to pay that extra $80 a month for the occassional need.

I just got the LG VX8100. So far it is great. I still have 14 days to return it, so do you guys think that I should return it and wait for the VX8300 to come out or should I just keep the VX8100? If there arent any big changes then I dont really want to go through the hassel. Is the VX3000 just a sleeker version of the VX81000?

A question everyone wants to know the answer to is....Can you use the speakerphone with the phone closed?

if something happens to your 8100, will you get a new 8100 or will they be giving you a 8300?

Is it true that the rebate for the vx8300 shows that it expires on June19th?!!!! If so, that is great! That would mean that it is coming out very soon, and probably at the price that infomanager shows at $99.99 with a 2year. Also, whats the rebate amount?

Thanks,
Brian

Wow~ what a nice phone!!! and it's about damn time that they changed the stupid verizon menu... well VX8300 has it too but there are different styles now i and i like the other ones better than the current stupid verizon menu. i wish it was internal antenna but STILL A NICE PHONE~~~ i wonder when its going to come out... maybe after i'm done w/ my t-mobile contract in september this year, i'll probably get this one or samsung a930... nice elegant black slick phone... anyway my point is i like this phone and i would like to get a hand on this phone and play with it... whens estimated release date on this phone?? 🤤

Can you still read text messages on the front screen?

Can anyone verify that there is no picture delays, volume issues, or "grainy" picture taking as there was with the 8100?

Also is the 1 hour video limit true for non-flix messaging video?

Does this phone still have the same color changes when you are recieving a call on the front display???

Does anyone know what the selling price will be when the phone comes out?

The VX8500 is now on the FCC site, but the photos are locked until 6/26/06.
Maybe then we will know more about the specs.

Dosen't LG like QVGA?

Do you think it will have to option to switch back to MP3 like the 8100 or will it be pure V-Cast?

Does anybody know when this phone is supposed to be released??
