Exchanged my 815 at Verizon

I had the 815 for four days and was very disappointed with the camera, volume and a few other issues. I decided to give it another chance and wait in line at Verizon, and wait & wait. Okay, I took my 815 phone back and exchanged it for one that had a more recent production date on the box. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but after a few hours of use and a few pics, I am a much happier camper right about now! The camera seems to be much better and the phone doesn't creek. The volume is also good on this one. The jury is still out for a few days at least, but for right now this might be the camera, oops, phone I was looking for.

Could you let me know the production date of yours? I suppose everyone is curious.

The production date was 7-6-2005 located on the bottom right hand corner of the top of the original box.

Hinge creaks and flip moves side to side.

You can hear your self through ear piece (sometimes) also this is my 3rd 815 that does that.

Camera seems to work well except for poor color reproduction.

Voice recognition works well and no complaints about the speakerphone as of yet.

I am on my 4th, and the volume of earpiece is worse than the others, I returned the last one because plastic by charger port was really creaky and lose. Do you think I will have a problem getting a 5th unit? This time I am going to check everything.

You shouldn't have any problems exchanging. They might try to convince you that the phone seems normal, but we know it is not.

I am ready to get my $$ back and just wait for something new to come out.

i too have been hearing myself when I am on the phone and talking...I have trying to decipher if it s a phone issue or a provider thing?

You think it is the phone?

additionally if it is the phone, will VZW be able to transfer my phonebooks and other pics. I have saved to my phone already?

They can transfer your phone book but not the pics. Best thing to do is send to or put the pics on your computer.

Always store a copy of your ringtones on your computer before sending them to your phone so you will not loose them if you change phones.

Ringtones a NO GO!! ☚ī¸

I am leaning towards the problem being with the phone, I just dont understand why it happens only about 75% of the time.

Never heard a phone creak, crack, and squeak so bad in your hand as your dialing a number. đŸ˜ĸ
