LG VX-8100

Hi Mary,

Just wondering, did you get your H500 through Verizon? I'm thinking of ordering one through Ebay and there seem to be different colors--charcoal and silver and also U.S. version vs. non-U.S. versions there. I'd just go with Verizon's website but they only seem to have black which I'm not crazy about.

Thanks.

VZW does not have the H500. I got mine at Best Buy. $79.99 with 30 day return.

Mortfe, the Verizon website does have the H500 in black and pink for $69.99.

I am considering just ordering through them since the shipping is free with orders over $50. I was trying to find deals through Ebay but I'd only be saving $20 or so and taking the risk of getting a non-U.S. version or something w/o warranty.

By the way, is yours silver?

I had the silver one that I got off ebay, but when I saw the black one from Verizon, I bought that one because I liked the black better. I gave the silver one to my sister. The pink looks pretty cool too.

I like that pink one too! But then I was thinking maybe the cuteness factor will wear out for me after a while. I do have a pink case for my phone so that would look cute. But basic black always goes with everything. I just ordered it through Verizon, so after I try it out I'll post my thoughts. BTW I put my Cardo Scala up on Ebay a while back because it kept disconnecting. I did think it the most comfortable headset I had tried though. If it wasn't for the disconnect problem I would have kept it. Strange that it only happened recently.

Mine was silver, but had so much static on both ends, I dumped it already. Hate the looks, but trying the new Jabra BT500. So far, after 1st day, excellent. But that what happened with the BT250. After 3 days, voice dial could get nothing right. Hope to hell this works better. Running out of headsets. The LG not available yet and H700, who knows.

I like my H500 and it works great for me, but I was thinking about tryng the BT500 as I had the BT250 and liked the fit and the way it worked. Keep me/us posted on how it does for you. Has anyone complained of echo?

No static, no echo - so far. My problem with the BT250/v was voice dialing. But even that was crystal clear.

So I got the H500 today and have finished charging it. Only used for a few minutes so far so I don't have much of an opinion yet. But the fit is definitely MUCH better than the HS850. The 850 was heavier and bulkier, plus it had that suction-cup-like earpiece that sat against the ear and I always felt like it was flopping around and about to fall off. the 500 is smaller and lighter and I think the ear "hook" is shaped a little differently. And although the earpiece doesn't fit into your ear like the Scala, it does stick out just a bit so that it feels more natural on your ear than the 850 did.

So far on the few calls that I've made I have gotten some static. Maybe it's not as charged as I thought. I've tried playing around on the v...
