LG VX-8100
Opinion on 8000!!!
I have a V710 right now and called verizon becuase I just had a second one sent to me and this one has horrible volume and the vibration is crap. The rep told me I could do an express exchage and get anyphone but there was a $50 charge. I said ok and requested a VX8000 she processed the order and its on its way here. She even check inventory on refurb PDA (650, i730) but there was nothing in. Is this a good move is the 8000 better than the 710???
...
I'm confused man, are you within your 15 day test period? or past the 15 days?
Explain please

IS 8000 better than 710 in everyones eyes. I know it lacks bluetooth but i mean as a phone.

The rep didn't screw up. If you have to exchange phones because of warranty issue 3 times.. your entitled to what is called a FRU exchange, and there is a $50 FRU fee.

more specifically, a FRU is a "field replacement unit" that's what we call it anytime we swap a phone for manufacturing issu...

How did you get a replacement phone sent to you Verizon only does replacement under warranty if you bring the phone into the tech dept. at a Verizon store.

I can give you some input on the vx-8000 / I had one for two weeks and found that as a cell phone it worked extremely well. Never dropped a call in two weeks - very good speaker phone - very good internal and external display - very good menu system.
The only negatives at all I found was slightly weak earpiece volume (speaker off) and the clumsy size and shape. It would definitely be my second choice after the vx-8100. The reason I did not keep it is to wait for the 8100!

Junk--I'm on my THIRD one in 3.5 months. Both of them had issues with software (they both wouldn't accept software updates from Verizon) and one of them kept resetting itself when I downloaded a game from Get-It-Now. I was told by Verizon (and noted in my account) that if this one has issues then they are replacing it with the 8100.
I think the phone is great when it works but I'm tired of the reliability issues.
