LG VX-8100
Is it worth the wait
To all those people waiting for this phone to come out, I hate to say this but you will be greatly disappointed. I have had this phone now for about a month. Altho the phone is alot better then the 8000 which I had for a very long time. It has some features that I do not like. Keypad is very small and the speakers on the flip get in the way of the soft keys.
The MiniSD card I am having trouble with, I can not get it to play MP3' If anyone can help here it would be a great help. Speaker phone is loud but I have a feeling it will have many issues like the 4500 with it blowing. Mine is starting to go. The blue-tooth is good but like the 710 its restricted. When you hold the play button on the outside it doesn't bring up your play list like the...

Thank you! I knew when phonescoop first posted this phone that it was not all that. I'm sure it's a decent phone, but come on lets face it, ITS just another lg. 😛

What charger cable does it use? Is it the one for the 6100/3200/7000 or is it different?

I found this very funny. I had a customer come into my store about 3 months ago with the Motorola 840 global phone... This phone was not out from Verizon or Verizon's B2B. I could not activate this phone because Verizon DID NOT have it in their system. I was told by my district manager that Verizon DOES NOT put phones in the system until about 2 days before they are released to the public or B2B... Seeing that the 8100 has not been released to the public or to B2B I would say your full of $hit. peddle your pessimism somewhere else.

Its called a Field Test Unit. Something you would know nothing about. I had the LG 8000 back in Aug 2004 It didnt even come out until Jan-Feb.2005 so dont be an a$$hole about things you dont know. And just because some customer service rep doesnt know when a release date is doesnt mean the phone is not out there. I have tested more phone that you probally owed. I test prob more that didn't come out then you owed. So take you pessimism to a forum more suited for your knowledege. I think Tyco has some toy cell phone you can comment on. Have a Good Day. 🤣

Well, except for possibly a weak speakerphone, that sounds like the phone I want. I'm not looking for the phone to end all phones.
If you truly have had it for a month, can you comment further on the RF (reception)? You said you had no dropped calls, so that sounds good, but it's not clear how many calls you made and if any were in difficult signal areas.
As for something else appearing on this site (phonescoop) that will blow this (8100) away, that's true, but that's a given. I'm sure there are phones on here right now that blow this away. Half of them will never be released in the U.S., and those that are released, it'll be another half a year at the very least before we'll see them. I'm in need of a phone now.

I thought the 8000 didn't have an MP3 player.
