vx9400 vs. u540 vs. 8300

My phone broke last night and I'm trying to decide between these three. I like the idea of having mobile tv but since I use over 3,000 minutes a month I want to make sure that the 9400 is a good everyday phone and easy to use.

If not, I was going to go with the 8300 but just saw the u540 in the store and really liked it. I'm going to use a bluetooth headset for the first time since I talk while driving a lot. I've heard there are some issues with the 8300 and BT sound quality. I only text about 15 times a month so that is not a big issue.

Need to decide today, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

yeah, i carry the 9400 around, and aside form the tv feature, it's awesome. i haven't had any complaints about it. the only thing that needs a bit of work is the speaker phone, but lg's speaker phones have always been a little junky.

My opinion if you want a phone you won't get bored with go with the 9400

How do you carry your 9400(case, clip, pocket)? I like to have my phone protected and on my belt. What clip, case options are there for this phone?

Well if you want TV than get the 9400 the phone is really nice the Samsung phone the U620 sucks. I had that 5 days it has to much bass in the ear piece to hear.

The 8300 is a rock solid phone and one of the best phones I have seen for sometime. But it doesn't have TV. You can't go wrong with the 8300 nice phone nice sound.

9400 is a little to new to see how it holds up in the long run. I would not be to upset if I dropped my 8300 it will hold up but the 9400???? not to sure

Bump again, still on the fence. I guess main issue is if the 9400 is an easy to use everday phone, then I can have the tv as a bonus. Would like to hear some more feedback from users before I decide.

8300 had a lot of bad reviews when it came out but now I'm hearing positive feedback. U540 seems to have very positive reviews out of the gate.
