Received ours today can't sell them for four more days.

Impressions.

Q is allright would prefer the 6700 or 700 but if slim is your thing its not bad has a decent 4x zoom

8300 allot like the 8100 the flash reminds me of animated wallpapers little smaller of a phone. Havnt played with it to much and my store doesn't have bluetooth stereo headsets so I can't try the. However you can secret menu and the .mp3 option is still there.

Direct stores are selling the /
Q,8300,930 all at the same time I think launch date is June 4th or 5th I forget?

yep.. thats a continued sad selection of clone phones, the 930 is already a flop, the 8300 is a second generation clone. I guess the fact that the 8300 has the flash UI, with the ability to get rid of the commie red bars/ and now able to set short cuts Again will appease the masses, but I still don't like it.

It would be easier to accept if carrier xyz where also implementing their own UI, but the fact is they are NOT, and verizon is still the weird kid on the bus.

You can take away the red bars, but verizon continues with their control freak way, with crippled dumb down phones.

Look at Sprint, the Blade is still big pimpin compared to any verizon phone, and so is the LG fusic phone.

I just expressed my valid points, and I can see by your response that you know they ring true, I understand you have to stick with the clan of fan boys 😕 Yes verizon is a good company, and yes Sprint still has a sub-par network but i will wait it out. 😁

Actually, I think Alltel has better coverage, but they suck at everything else.

alltel doesnt outperform verizon in any metric or any study, ever.

and the only reason that alltel works any good is because they run off of verizon's network as well...but they dont have nearly the people or money that verizon has to invest into expansion..

And you're not a Sprint customer why?

Also, I didn't know the Army trained to the Special Forces to be "The Grass is Greener" whiner. Whine whine whine... "Monsiuer, would you like some cheese to go with all that Whine?"

I was thinking the same thing , but the launch materials and phones for the 8300 are apparently not in the stores yet ?

You know any NJ stores with 8300 ??

There are 16000 units in the warehouse but not in the stores yet ?
