LG
Recommendation: Bluetooth/stereo music using Verizon phones??
I am a frustrated loyal Verizon customer. I returned my KRZR last week because Verizon told me that it would work with my new bluetooth stereo headphones. It does not!
I walked out of the store with the LG Chocolate, which on the surface seems like a nice, quality, feature-filled phone. It is, but it has "issues." Specifially bluetooth kinda stalls at times; the thumb wheel is cumbersome/troublesome; and the keypad buttons are difficult to use. I shall return this unit also.
The problem becomes which of Verizon's offerings will provide this funcationality. My research has uncvered basically 4 phones, and I'm looking for some practical opinions on usability per the following 3 basic requirements: (1) good battery life, prefer 4-5 hours music play; (2) easy to use interface, especially using "on-belt" hands free use of telephone and music player features; and (3) either a software interface that works with Vista or the ability to use SD/mini-SD/micro-SD to drag and drop songs from my pc. And, of course, I'm looking for a light and compact unit that i can place on my belt and forget it.
I am evaluating these phones, wich I believe are Verizon's only handsets that play mp3s over stereo bluetooth: LG VX-8700, LG VX-9900 enV, LG VX-9400, and Samsung SCH-u620.
I realize the 9400 and the u620 are more TV/cable units, but I included them because I don't care about cost, I just want the BEST OPTION for mp3/bluetooth functionality.
Any opinions? Appreciate your help in advance. Once I decide on a handset, i will continue to post my experience in this forum.
