LG-8300 or GzOne -- or something else?

I've been reading reviews and have been to two Verizon stores to try to decide on a NE2 upgrade. I can't decide between the 8300 and the GzOne.

I know, I know, the GzOne is a behemoth. But I don't mind that, and actually I've lost two previous phones to water damage. It seems durable, I like the large screen and wide opening angle -- but I don't like the price so much.

The 8300... it seems pretty durable too, just non-submergible.

Does anyone have experience with these phones?

I own the Gzone and to me its worth every penny. I have been out in the rain and muck with this tank for over a week, and it stands up to the hype. The reception and call clarity are great- I highly recommend it.

I'm happy to answer any questions.

I also own the LG 8300 and it too is great.

I own the predecessor to the 8300, the 8100 and despite one software glitch 1 year ago ( I had my phone replaced at no charge), I've had no problems. The 8100 looks and feels like the 8300, with some slight cosmetic modifications. I love it, it's durable (I've dropped it many times without even a scratch), I have great call quality, I hear others well and they hear me well. Battery life is good, even after 1 year. I get teased about the 8100's bulky size, (which is a bit larger than the 8300 you're considering), but it doesn't bother me. I think a good durable, quality phone is what's most important and I've heard great things about the 8300. It's supposed to be even better than my 8100, and I love my 8100.

Good Luck!
