LG VX9800 (aka "The V") - comments? Anyone have o

[rforsythe]

I'm considering upgrading my phone, since I have beat my current one to shit. Does anyone have experience with this phone? Looks pretty cool, has a ton of features, seems pretty durable, and I get get it cheap through our employee discount. But, that doesn't mean it's good.....

Notto's got it and it's a damn cool phone! It's loaded with features, my favorite being note taking that you can play back with the phone's audio. :D

Best phone I ever had 8)

Sweet. Now if the Verizon chick would just get back to me sometime this century............

The neatest part - with the addition of a mobile office kit, I can be on-call for work from the fishing boat I will be on over memorial weekend. :D

The two LG phones I owned sucked .. I wouldnt suggest it.

Jenny currently has my old LG, which did indeed suck as much as a Suzuki. This LG however has been excellent.
The reception power is probably 3 times what any other phone I had was.
I have 99% reception anywhere in my house and anyone who has tried to make a phone call from my house knows what a pain that can be.

I am 100% happy with my V. Speaker phone works great(most people cant tell I'm using it)it loaded with features and is very easy to operate.

KIck ass telly I must say.

Does it come with the accessories needed to hook it up to the PC to upload MP3s for the player or do you have to buy the kit?

I'm looking at getting one too since I am due for my renewal and can get it for $50.

[Feathered upstart!]

You have to buy a mini SD card. It has 128mb of internal mem, but it only allows you to use the mp3 player when you ahve the card.
