I am still trying to decide on a phone.. I am sorry that I keep asking questions. I have never been so on the fence about the phones Verizon offers. I am trying to decide between the LG enV and the 8600. I love all of the bells and whistles (battery life, camera, music player) of the enV, but I am not thrilled about the size. I love the size of the 8600, but I am not thrilled about the speakerphone and the keyboard. All of this being said, I wanted to hear what people thought about the keyboard - is it difficult to type or text? Can you do it without looking? etc??

are there any worthy phones coming out soon? Do you think Verizon will offer an update of the 8600 soon to remedy the horrible speakerphone?

Thank you!!!

have you looked at the LG 8300? I think its one of the best phones verizon has ever had.

between the enV and the 8600, i would go with the 8600.
i tried the enV out and the voice quality didn't sound good enough to me..i even returned it and tried a second one too.

i have a friend who has the 8600 and loves it just except for the speakerfone.

also, what about waiting for verizon's 2 vcast tv phones coming out soon (sometime this quarter)? they look like they are worth the wait.

Thanks for the input. The LG 8300 is good.. but I am already bored of it. I want new phone.

The TV phones look interesting, but I do not know if I would actually use them. Rumor has it that the enV will be able to be do the tv thing...

No, the enV will not be MediaFLO capable. They would have news of a software update by now for it if it was. Maybe the Next Gen V series will have it.... they can call it the tV

going from the 8300 to the 8600 is a downgrade IMO

yah i guess so.. its something newer but once you get over that than yah 8300 kicks its ass..although with the 8600 you can transfer pics with bluetooth-thats a plus for me
