LG VX-8100
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER REVIEW at CNET
"Sadly disappointing...oh, what could have been..." by Animal Crow
Pros: EXTREMELY well-built, the best vibrate feature out there, (limited) bluetooth and miniSD compatibility, nice screens, nice stereo speakers, menus well-designed, read txt messages without opening phone
Cons: Camera is terrible, speakerphone is mediocre at best, earpiece volume issues, numerous software bugs, some of which can cause rebooting and freezing...and more!
First of all - if this phone truly met its potential, it would be the undisputed king. Nothing would even come close. Sadly, that's not the case.
Second of all - if you have this phone and have problems like what I've described - CALL OR WRITE TO BOTH VERIZON AND LG. You can do so on the Verizon site...

I'd say that was a fair review - he hit on the issues most everyone here is experiencing in one form or another.
...
I got to tell I dont believe for a second that most everyone has problems with this phone. Its called the silent masses. I havent had 1 single problem with my phone and I know 3 others that have it already and they havent either. I think you are fooling yourself if you think most people have issues with this phone. It just seems like the people that are having problems are under the impression that everyone is. Im not and like I said the others that I know personally arent either.
...
....But I hope you can understand the very real frustration of the people who have had problems!! 😕
...
Yes, I sure do. I am hoping that an upgrade will be available and fix these issues you guys are having.

Hey Mary! I'm the one that asked you to test out that pix thing on your phone (when erased, being replaced with a bunch of ?????????). That was one of the problems I was having. I still think that is a software problem with the phone.
Other than that "issue", your phone is doing good (earpiece volume, etc)? If so, then you are one of the luckies!
I think (hopefully!!) that these issues should be fixable. I'm not willing to give up the phone for these hopefully fiaxble issues. I haven't seen any other phones that Verizon offers that I'd be willing to settle for...

Hi Piggys!
I too, think this is the best phone Verizon has right now, and I even tried out the e815 for about a week before getting the 8100! I do feel lucky, especially after reading of so many problems people are having, but I'm sure there will be an update available soon and I'm hoping it will fix the problems that people are having. I really love this phone!

Yeah and I called LG (and emailed) and informed them of that pix message weird thing, so hopefully they'll be able fix that, too. If that's the only crazy thing you've noticed happening with your phone, then that's great. (What store did you get it from, maybe I'll take a road trip this weekend 🤣 just kidding 🤣 ).
Ha Ha - my boyfriend is jealous of my phone b/c he has the 7000! He said he was going to slam my phone into the pavement! He was joking, of course. He said he wishes he could have the 8100, too! (Plus, he's getting all girly on me and said he wanted to have matching phones - isn't that sweet!!!)

Hi Piggys
For what it's worth, I tried the same test. No problems at all. I hope you get the problem worked out!!!

Cool! Yeah, it's totally weird. And what's even weirder is that if the PIX message was the ONLY message in the box (ex. INBOX:1) and then I go to erase it, it looks like it's gone, but as soon as I get another message in the Inbox (same goes for the sent box), then it pops back up with ????????????????
However, I have noticed today that it wasn't doing it ALL the time. WEIRD!! And one time, I tried to erase the pix message and the phone just cut off and then back on! At least there's hope!! And it's not like the phone is spontaneously combusting, so I think it's able to be dealt with. 🤣
