LG VX-8100
Planning to Switch
Basically, I love my E815...WHEN it works. I am on my 6th one (the first two or three were due to manufacturing defects right after the phone initially started shipping...the last three had other issues). Anyway, with my E815s...they start out working perfect, then seam to deteriorate. Problems start happening more and more. I was wondering if anyone experienced similar issues with the 8100?
Also...what are some other problems people may be having with the 8100, and have you found any solutions?
Like I said...I am looking ...

The 815 does everything the 8100 does it may not have as nice of outside screen but does the job. If I were you and if the switch is going to cost you alot just keep you 815, but if it's not or the 815 is just falling apart then sure why not. Also it depends on how old you are, it seems the younger crowd likes the 8100 for its lights and speakers. but if you an older buisness man the 815 is more professional looking. hope this helps. But remember the phone basically do the same exact things, use your judgement.
As Cam mentioned, a BIG feature that swayed me to the 8100 was the sturdiness, or feel, of the phone. I just did not like the cheap plastic feel of the e815. I could just see it chipping or cracking with the slights drop or bump. I do like the sleekness of the 815 better, but I went with the slightly thicker 8100.
I have not had the battery issue others have addressed. I pretty much get what the phone specs state. However, I do plan on going to and extended battery in the future.
The only other major difference in the two, may be the PC and Outlook syn...

I also played with a 9800 the other day and let me say that's a beautiful phone. And there is no camera delay. I may switch to that phone in a few months. I love the screen for watching videos and text messaging is a breeze with the keyboard. As I said I do love my 8100, but the 9800 is sweet. (expect it's missing the cool disco lights =)
(Sigh) I wish I could use both!
I switched to the 8000... so far it has been perfect in every way. I have had no issues with it at all. It's wonderful, and it's beautifully made... very high quality indeed!
It does not have BT or mini card slot, but has most of the other bells & whistles of the 8100 and the e815.
Some VZW stores still have them until supplies are gone, but they have been discontinued in favor of the 8100 (a big mistake in my view)!
The size of the 8000 is a tiny bit bigger than in e815, but it's thinner. Here is a comparison of the three phones... 8000, e815, 810...

I had 2 8100's and I returned both of them because of earpiece volume fluctuations... I could not hear!! And what good is a phone that doesn't allow you to hear your called party??
