LG VX-8100

I usually never let battery life affect me too much on a decision. With the availability of extended batteries and such, you can usually get more than enough life from a phone before recharge.

I understand, looking at the specs, the MOTO has more life but just throw an extended in the LG when they are avaiable and you will surpase the MOTO. Just my opinion...

Man 'O' Man, I can't spell for the life of me anymore...LOL...Maybe I should slow it down a little or just use the freaking spell check

Don't listen to any opinions that are extreme, anybody who says that the differences are huge is a kid. The reality is that the phones are close in features and specs, whether you perceive the build quality, prefer the speaker phone or vibrate mode on one or the other is subjective. The differences spec wise that caught my attention were the size of the display, battery life and phone book. Assuming that my phone operates properly, those features would seem to give the E815 an edge for my use of a phone which is making and receiving calls. For all of the kids out there participating in this forum, they may feel that the differences are larger because they have the time to screw around customizing the phone or have expectations that the c...

I am afraid I have to disagree with Andy. Build quality is not subjective. It is a pretty easy thing to tell when one item is better made than another. My e815 was flimsy and the seams moved and the bottom of the body where the battery charger attached would actually bend if you gripped it too tightly. Preferences towards different things like graphics or operating systems are subjective and I think most people on here are clear about expressing their opinions as opinions. The e815 does have a bigger internal screen but the external screen is a joke in my opinion. The e815 also has a better keypad in my opinion. Just seems more finsihed than the 8100's. The LG keypad just seems a little plain to me like their graphics.

I am in the same dilema i purchased the e815 with the intent of exchanging it for the 8100 right now i actually work for verizon and we literal just got the 8100 in stock on tues not on sale til fri I had a chance to play with the 8100 and to tell you the truth i am not impressed it was a big let down heres how they stack up side by side

Camera: 8100 wins out camera quality is amazing on the phone plus when taking a picture it you can see it on the outside and inside

battery : haven;t actually had enough time to check my moto lasts about 2 1/2 days standard bat

signal: get back to you

style : moto i think is a lot sleaker looking although the 8100 did suprise me its not as big as the 815 but it is thicker

speaker: the 8100 i...

to tell you the truth im torn i really did not like the 710 but the 815 i think is just amazing but i am a huge lg fan so still deciding hope this helps some people in deciding

I agree with your comparisons. I have stated the e815 wins in several catagories. I had a V710 for a whole 2 days before the front buttons started falling off and the housing started to seperate. The e815 is leaps and bounds above the V710. I was the opposite. I am a big moto fan and always hated LG so this is a departure for me.

Thank you - please get back on those outstanding issues.

Do you know if there is anyway the weak vibrating feature can be fixed on the moto???

no the vibrating issue is always something motorola has not bothered to change dunno why bc just about everyone i talk does not like that about the phn there really is no way to fix it with out costing moto some serious cash so they aren't going to do it maybe they will fix it someday i hope in the future

Thank you! You mentioned another issue I had with the 815 -vibrating sucks on the phone! I missed a call this morning while the phone was in my back pocket because I could not feel it vibrating!

I am still so torn!
