LG VX-8500 Chocolate

I'm looking for a good stereo bluetooth headset that is capable to use with Chocolate,
and I've seen HT820. Are there any better suggestions than this? I'm thinking of $100 to $150 for the price range...

Thank you very mucn in advance! 🙂

I had the 8100 and got my 8500 in the mail yesterday. LOVE THE PHONE, really love it but the speaker sounds like it is blown or something, in compaison to the 8100. so is it just my phone and I can go take it to a store and get a new one when they come out. or do all the chocolate's just dont have a good speaker???

ZERO reception. Picked up my friend for lunch who works for VZW in NYC. He had the Chocolate for a few days last week and it is junk! looks good though.

Ipod are the best at supporting and playing music so what im getting at is this phone as good as an Ipod in terms of music plus being a phone.

When the phone is closed, on the bottom right side there is a gap between the keypad and top of the phone and i can press them together, however the rest of the phone is tightly together and there is no gap you can press together. Is this normal or is everyone else's phone firmly in place with no gap? I want to make sure my slider is not breaking apart. Thank you.

does anyone know how much i pay each time send myself a mp3 file using funformobile.com?
the phone recognizes the message as a mms message, and i was wondering if it was free or not.
I only sent two so far, b/c i was worried that it might not be free. If anyone knows about the charges, please share your knowledge.
thanks.

i know the 8100 and 8300 is 176x144 what is the 8500s pixel setting? any help would rock thanks

it's not loud enough for music. or, am i asking too much? jabra 620 headphones sound nice, i just wish i could crank it louder.

what are the chances of someone creating a program to edit the volume parameters? can it/has it been done for other phones?

got to make the decision this week.

so far, my battery life sucks (going to verizon store tomorrow to have it checked), i can't get on v-cast even though i'm in a prime ev-do area (tech support told me to bring the phone in to have it checked), and it not being loud enough... maybe they can check that too.

anything else, i can live with.

I am currently the proud owner of a vx8100 and getting ready for an upgrade. The sound quality of the MP3 player on this phone is awesome.

Can anyone and everyone with knowledge of the VX8500 and VX8300 comment on how the sound quality compares.

Thanks.

I am trying to put music videos on the chocolate and need to find out the format and speeds to use to put them on there and have them play. i also need to find out how to change the bit rate speed of the video so it is not choppy. any help would be great. i am not in a evdo area so i do not have access to vcast.

and the one thing that stood out in my mind was that the reviewer said the reception for this phone was poor.
what a ****en disappointment.
a 359.00 dollar phone with one too many "doesnt haves" on it
lg get your act together bitches
if i were you i would use the same guide
as your 8000 model
get your **** together

I'm kinda new to all the stuff u can now do with cell phones. I had nextel for years now with verizon and have had in the past 4 months the 8100 and 9800 and loved em. Just got the chocolate and love it so far. Kudos to LG!!!

My question.....How do I connect to my pc via BT??? What do I need to do this?? Anything special. I have a standard cable connection to the net with wireless Linksys router. Any help would be great.

I orderd the music kit for some reason mainly for the cord. Can i use bitpim and call my phone the 8300 with this cable???

So I love sliders and Verizon's Chocolate came as a great relief when I needed a new phone. However, I have an iPod and won't be buying a memory card for my phone, as of yet.

Question: How much can my phone hold considering songs and pictures with merely using it w/o a memory card?

Might consider getting a 256mb card if I can hold a good amount of pictures on it + like 25-50 songs would be fine.

For other chocolate owners out there, Ive recently come across this problem.

When I go to delete "Sent" text messages from the outbox, either individually or by using the "erase all" feature, the phone will do one of three things:

1) Erase the msg as planned and everything is fine. (10% of the time)

2) Erase the msg, but in the list of "sent" messages, there will be a blank area in the list with only a "." in it. (if deleted individually, 60% of the time. otherwise, N/A)

3) The phone will flash off (showing the vcast screen), then back on, and end up at the main wallpaper screen. (90% of the time when using "erase all," 30% of the time if deleted individually)


So my question is...has anyone else had this problem? If no one ...

I'm currently using T809.

My phone support .3gp video files.

Compare to my friend's D500, T809 plays video with out any skips and also plays in full screen.

The only one thing I don't like is that T809 doesn't support STEREO bluetooth!

LG VX-8500 support stereo bluetooth.

Anyone who has 8500, how's video?

I just received the Chocolate for my wife and did not open it yet. I also ordered the car charger. The charger has every LG phone listed on the packaging except the chocolate. Is it the same charger for all LG phones or did they send me the wrong charger?

Thanks for your help...

which phone is better, and will give more bang for my buck, 200 bucks to be exact.

So I have been waiting for this phone since I saw the initial FCC approval on phonescoop.. I read all of the reviews from people who had gotten the phone immediately off the internet. My #1 pet peeve with Verizon phones has been the universal menu with the red banners. Then the 8300 came out and I loved the customization, fun animations, colors for the banners, etc.. I read a couple of reviews on here and everyone said you could customize it like the 8300. I was practically sold. Yesterday I went to the store to try out the demo. I was so disappointed. There were only two fun animations and crummy colors for the banners. I am hoping that this was only on the demo phone, but its probably not. Someone let me know please! Also, how ...
