i'm switching to verizon and narrowed down phone choices to these. coming from at&t i've grown accustom to open bluetooth stacks and these seem to fit my needs. these phones support ftp (for bluetooth) and seem pretty good. any feedback on ones to stay away from or one you guys like better? any unusually high return rates for one vs the others? any feedback would be great and thanks in advance.
also, is anything limited with the ftp?
LG VX-8350
LG VX-8550 Chocolate
LG VX-9400
LG VX-8700
LG enV VX-9900

I would stay away from the Chocolate. The 8350 seems to be doing well, but I've seen some problems reported with them. The 9400 is overpriced unless you plan on getting VCast TV. I like the 8700 and the 9900. They're both awesome phones.

Can't tell you what is or is not limited with the FTP. I don't use bluetooth at all.

cool... thanks for the reply. i don't want to start an at&t vs verizon vs gsm vs cdma thing, but having at&t and gsm so long i'm spoiled when it comes to phones, bluetooth and customization. i use bluetooth almost daily for things other than headsets and being a sony ericsson and nokia fan, i make custom themes for all my phones from them. i am switching because whe...

If bluetooth is important to you (as it seems it is from your other post) you might want to check the Voyager, that should have more bluetooth options than the other phones. It is being made to be a borderline smartphone so it has more functions it can do through bluetooth than other phones.

For example, it will be able to transfer contacts through bluetooth and has a special set up so you can transfer all of the contacts at once even.

It also has the ability to put itself into a storage device mode so it will be detected by a computer as a USB storage device(but not sure if that function will work through a bluetooth connection)



You will notice that VZW kinda hides what its phones can and cant do with bluetooth. The only suppor...
