Yeah thats the impression I got from the pictures, oh well poor shock 🤣

Are you looking forward to any phone? I want the Pearl.

No was looking forward to the 8350, and it feels like junk.

well grab a seat in the sad canoe with shock then.

Any guesses on how long it will take the VX8800 or VX10000 to make it to market? Those are the phones that are making me sweaty 🤣

There is no sad canoe for me on this one, if the speakerphone is really all that the early 8350 owners at HoFo are saying it is. 🙂

I only got a chance to try it out briefly in the store, but from what ppl are saying plus my own experience, it appears to be the 8300 speakerphone on steroids. Goes louder AND there's a lot less distortion/buzz.

Daddy likes. 😎

the speakers are on the back instead of the side...what if it's sitting on your table?

Put it on it's side, I guess. You can't do speaker with the flip closed, as with most LGs.

Wow that's surprising since it doesn't have side speakers, but cool cool glad you like it especially knowing that the speaker phone is primary for you..guess wfine can sit there by himself.

Hey, im fine sitting here by myself, I have a 12 pack of beer and a playboy, im good to go. 😎


And I cant tell much of a difference in the speaker phones

Feels cheap, ugly (bland), just doesnt feel like a very good phone.

The hilarious thing? I nearly posted yesterday, "WFine, don't judge it by how LIGHT it is!"(I've already played with one). It just doesn't feel like an 8300 or G'zone in terms of heft or weight.

I dunno... the reaction to the phone over at HoFo has been really positive. I'll likely still get one. If it craps out on me, I'll post here and left everyone know.

Im not saying that its not a good phone, I just dont like the way it feels in my hand especially compared to the 8300, in order for me to make the switch, I would need to just be flored by it.

Hey, no prob. I do realize I'm rolling the dice a bit here... the 8300 has a great track record, while the 8350 has yet to prove itself.

Still, I think I'm gonna give it a go. Better speakerphone, less crippled BT, nicer UI, better keypad, no antenna jabbing me in the side when its in my jeans key pocket... the upside seems worth a gamble.

Of course, if I drop it for the first time, and it explodes in a million pieces, I will be proven wrong. 🤣

The UI is not nice, it only has 1 "theme" besides the default, and the keypad sucks, not nearly as nice.

My .02 cents

Well, I'm likely getting one tomorrow or over the weekend, we can compare notes then.

(But how can you like the 8300's 'lumpy' buttons and offset keypad over a flat one? Yikes. And the UIs on the 8350 are definitely newer.)
