LG VX-8100

😢 🙄 ☹️

Just got my phone at Circuit City Norwalk CT so far so good.
Unfortunately they can't transfer numbers from my old, LG, phone, yet.
No holster either, sold separately, not in stock yet.
I got the first phone out, display isn't even up yet. 😁
Hope it holds up, looks good feels good, great camera, stereo headset for tunes.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW MUCH IS IT WITH A NEW TWO YEAR AGREEMENT AND AND WITH OR WITHOUT THE REBATES? 🤣 🤣 👿 😈

I see there's a post about the 8100 camera versus the 8000. However not raised in that post was whether there's a difference in the number of pics the 8100 can store versus the 8000? I'll refer to the other post re: any replies on which one takes a better crisper picture which I'm also curious about.

Email: I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to access my verizon email and if so how to do that. It's frustrating Verizon wireless doesn't support Verizon dsl email. ☹️ Any ideas would be great.

Does the 8100 get hot on long calls?

Volume, voice clarity, earpiece volume and ringer volume on the 8100--
I've read that the sound goes in and out on longer calls, that the earpiece volume is low and that the ringer is low on the 8100 ...

I am from NJ and have called *611 a few times and the common thing about the call other than "all my computer says is coming soon" is when the CS rep has asked me "Are you seeing the phone on our site?"

They always ask if I am seeing the LG VX8100 on their site.

What if someone said yes and bluffed them?

All one would have to is simply say "I see it on the site and I would like to order it". Tell them it says on the site that after the rebate the 2 year price is $149.99 and the one year price after rebate is $199.99

Of course you could wait a few days and get it at the store.

I know, I know...I have way too much time on my hands.

Do I need to go to HOFO to wait for these answers? I'm not buying this phone until I info from those that are OK with being testers.

This is perpetuating the impression Phonescoop is for non-tech-savy fashion-obsessed cell phone collectors. C'mon guys. Again, I'm not into being the Guinea pig so get to work!

I need solid hard answers. I dont want any...i think...it should...i hopes...I NEED REAL ANSWERS. Im looking for honest replies not lies.

1. Does the speakerphone work when the phone is closed. If so how does it do so.

2. Can I transfer picture, music, or movies to to the 8100 from the transflash or memory card? If so how do I do so.

3. How long of a movie can i record?

4. What is the best bluetooth headset for the 8100?

5. What is the best way to connect PC and 8100?


Thanks for the great replies in advance.

For each phone, can you tell me how many actual contacts are allowed?
IF one phone allows multiple entries for one contact (ie, home, work, cell, etc), then is that contact considered just ONE entry?

Pls explain how BOTH works. thanks

I called a dozen corporate stores all around Boston, and got a different answer from each - some fact, but most were totally wrong, and some were totally clueless about the 8100. But none of the stores had actually received any phones or had them in stock yet.

So I called a couple of local Circuit City locations, and found one which had them in stock and available for sale, so I went right down and got one. $199-$100 NE2 -$50 rebate=$50+tax.

Apparently there was an email "yesterday" that said the phone can be launched/sold ahead of the "official" date of 7/15.

But don't be surprised if most stores remain clueless or unhelpful.

Its about noon time here in jersey and i just got off the phone with VZW and i just ordered my new LG VX8100.....I was able to do my upgrade over the phone....the phone is $199.99 and a $50 Mail In Rebate....so final price after the rebate is $149.99....also what surprised me was that they are overnighting me the phone for on $9.99. so i should have the phone tomorrow and will post my findings.

How much will this be for new customers? I am considering switching back to Verizon from T-Mobile.

Thanks!

IF IT WAS MORE THAN $300 OVER THE PHONE I AINT WORRIED ABOUT IT.

Or at least when they're saying it will be - for those who have spoken or will speak to cs reps, telesales, store sales, store managers, etc.

just got my 8100 yesterday, and the reception is really bad. i wonder if its my phone only..

it goes from 1 to 2 bars...to no bars!

im gonna try it out for the next few days, if it still sucks..then im going to exchange it for another one.

im trying to post pictures of the camera quality...but i cant even get the message to send! 😡

for those who have it already, is the 8100 camera as good as the 8000?

As of 5pm EDT...you can buy the vx 8100 at Verizon Wireless stores that have it.
I just did. They have 4 left where I just bought it in Suffolk County. It finally went on their screen that they could sell it.

I work for vzw and another rep and another store bought the phone today. He called me immediatley after he returned the phone. I have not been able to verify this cause my location has not gotten their shipment yet. He said that there is NO WAY to save sounds sent from pictures to use as a ringer. You can save them to your melodies or sounds folder but you can't use them as ringers?!?! Please tell me this isn't true. I know vzw needs to make money. I will even accept them disabling the bluetooth but I will get the 815 if they disabled that feature on the 8100 ☹️

Just thought everyone would like to know that Verizon has launched the lg vx-8100. I just ordered it with them. 800-922-0204. This forum was 1 day off. Not bad. Hope this helps someone.

does the 8100 have any problems or issues. is it better then the 8000, how many song can u fit in the memory. does it get good reception, give me all the dirt.

Does there exist data that confirms that this phone can syn with the blue tooth enabled Acura TL system? 😳
