Got my 8360 last week!
Thanks Tropicalisland (are you there?)....I finally got my 8360 last week.

I am currently using an LG 8350. I recently posted a message about the 8350's inability to display the caller's name or number clearly. Seems when you have the latest "software update" on the phone, the so-called update make the letters and numbers of the caller appear with a new shadowy text - and it's tough to read. I took the phone back twice and they swapped me a "certified rebuilt." However, even the re-builts have the software updates because on the two subsequent swaps, the problem is the same.

Sorry about what you've gone thru...but no problems with the 8360 as far as reading the text and no shadowy problem on the display...better luck to ya!...Bill
