LG VX-8300
Just ordered the 8300
My 8300 is scheduled to arrive on Friday.
Had a bad experience with the Moto E815. The headset jack had lots of audio problems. So I returned it Verizon within the 15 days due to an apparent "defect".
Frankly, have been struggling deciding between the new RAZR v3m and the VX8300. Would very much like to have an ultra-slim phone, but I'm concerned about various user criticisms. The sound quality on the v3m seemed outstanding the little I used it. The 8300 was free with the "new every 2" deal while the v3m would have cost me $100. I still have one exchange to use up within the 15 day period if I don't like the 8300.

hey mary, make sure you post a review, you go through a lot of phones like me and i am interested in what you think of it, and if they fixed some of the earlier versions issues like the text on the outside.

I just recieved my 8300 via FedEx about 30 minutes ago! I will post a review after I've had some more time with it, but my first impressions of it are outstanding!
Much thinner and lighter than I expected, flash UI is a welcome addition, very solid build, color is amazing, keypad is the best I have used yet, outside buttons do light up, VOICE DIALING HAS BEEN SIMPLIFIED (short commands like the Samsung's, not long and drawn out like on the 8100-this was very important to me as I use BT 98% of the time).
Now for cons....not many, but the fact that you can't read the text on the outside is dissappointing if you previously used the 8100. I wasn't expecting this as it was confirmed before I ordered it, but since the 8100 had it and i...

Hey Mary,
Sounds like you are having fun - Yeah I am somewhat trying to like the Q but the Size is killing me.. I do like the keyboard though..
I am trying to get an 8300 and have such a hard time with VZW.. They say it's only orderable through Online and my online wont upgrade so I have to go through cust. Service who cant seem to find it to order.
Which Bluetooth headset do you have ?
You know the best we tested was the Jabra 350 which is a VZW part, you can get at the store.
Try it out and make sure you have the people on the other end talk alot and over your talking and see if they get soujnd back in their ears.. It's a feedback type of situation..
Let us know -
Thanks

So far I have made about 4 calls to people I talk to frequently with my BT phones just to ask them how I sound, and so far they say it sounds good and it's also good on my end. Of course, I will need to test this more, but so far so good. Let's hope the BT problems are a thing of the past for LG!

Mary,
You can take those tones that you had in the MY_SOunds folder of your memory card, drag them to your cpu, and change the format of those ringtones to mp3, and just email them to your 8300 as a pix message, then choose options, "save as ringtone"!!! You don't even need bitpim. I have 35 ringtones on my phone's memory already.

my problem is that the ringtones will still have to be chopped down to mms size to do this. i think i'll still have to use bitpim cause i'm so picky about sound quality.
...
That's what I did. I just took my ringers off of Bitpim that I had for my 8100, transferred to my desktop and e-mailed them and they sound great!
