LG VX-8000
Traded in the 8000 for 7000
i traded in my 8000 for the 7000. My reason for this was that the fone was just way to big for my liking. I have it in my pant pocket all the time and it was very uncomfortable (mostly width wise). Also i was already getting over the vcast. Its one of those things that is really fun at first then gets old. The 7000 has pretty much everything the 8000 has except speakerfone (the only feature i woulda like to have had) vcast (not that great after a few days) and mp3 (i have an ipod). Overall i saved 70 bucks and get a smaller fone and all i lost was speakerfone.

Wow, you must be a pretty sensitive guy to notice the 0.07H x 0.08W difference. Oh by the way, it's not as deep and you get better battery life. But hey, $70 is $70.

Actually I had the 7000, still have it in my possesion and now have the 8000. The size is a bigger difference in real life then it seems on paper. The 8000 is considerably wider and a decent amount taller then the 7000. In fact when you open up the phone to use the keypad buttons they are so much larger on the 8000. I always thought the 7000 was a bit big but next to the 8000 the 7000 seems sleek. I think the 7000 is completely a better looking phone, but I really really like the outer display on the 8000. I like the way the pictures look on it, they look great and I like that it can do many functions, like view your gallery and your text msgs and missed phone calls.

i had my 8000 there and compared it the 7000 and its much wider. Slightly taller but just think, when you open it up the extra height doubles. If only they had made the camera either swivel or something else, if that camera space was not there it would be perfect size.

I could be wrong, but V-Cast appears to be a novelty for right now. Then it might not be used as much. It's kind of like when you get a video game when it first comes out. You play it constantly and then eventually, it collects dust and you don't play it but once every 6 months. Just a thought. After the 2 months, I might get mobile web only.

I like the concept so far. Every morning when I walk my dog, I listen to the news and sometimes other stories. However, reception is so bad at my house, I can't get through a 3 minute store without it "buffering" 2 or 3 times. I'll probably drop it as well when the two months are up. If they ever get a tower anywhere close to my house, I'd like to pick it up again.
