Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / October 2003What is the best VZ Phone to get -- Excluding the v60p
I want to get a VZ phone but would like some input on which one of their phones is the best for the money. Looking for a small flip. Thanks. I just bought the T730 and am now wondering if I should have gotten a different one. thanks > I want to get a VZ phone but would like some input on which one of their > phones is the best for the money. Looking for a small flip. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > thanks Well I went from the StarTac 7868W to the LG VX4400 and its the best phone I have used so far. And I have used quite a few. From the NEC Bag phones, Nokia, Sony, Qualcomm, 2 different Motorola phones (old grey flip & StarTac), and a couple others over the years which names escape me. This starting back when cellular started. Cellular One (Albany Telephone Company) I was the 403 customer and stayed with them for many a year. (They had terrible billing problems and after so many years of calling to get my bill fixed) I Then went the route of Bell Atlantic Mobile, Nynex, Verizon and what ever name they change into in the future :-) Elector The 4400 is an excellent phone as are most LG phones. > > I want to get a VZ phone but would like some input on which one of > their [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Elector > I want to get a VZ phone but would like some input on which one of their > phones is the best for the money.

I don't know anything about the T730 or its price, but I picked up an LG VX10 from VZW for $70 ($170 - 50 rebate - 50 discount (w/ 2-year agmt.)). Great audio quality and reception.. I don't like its menu system much, and the buttons are too recessed into the keypad making it a bit harder to push them.. but it's small, sturdy, has good battery life, and sounds great.  SignatureRandom fortune: The Internet is being scanned for viruses. What do you want a phone to do? What else besides make calls? How small is small enough?

How small > is small enough? I want good user friendly software including a smartly designed contact list, easy access to multiple phone book entries, easy text messaging, ability to easily plug phone numbers from phone book into "send to" lists for texts and email. I have all that with the Samsung A310. It's almost perfect. I say almost because the ONLY thing it doesn't do that I really wish it did was show time in 24 hour format (military time) as most phones do. I hate am/pm. Booger Personally I like almost anything from motorola. If you can hold out till probably after Christmas, they might have a new phone coming out to fit your bill.

Under the battery, where the Motorola says CHINA, speaks volumes. - David On 10/28/03 10:43 PM, in article e1705cb3.0310281943.6a00a1c@posting.google.com, "David L" <davidlind@my-deja.com> wrote: >>> The LG 4400 is much better than the Motorola.

Too expensive to make things in the US so companies haved stop trying to do it. - Mark x-no-archive=yes >Are there any current celular telephones made in the USA?

McClure mrkmcclure@excite.com I bumped into the guy who set me up with my first phone (a brick in 1991). I asked him what a good phone was nowadays and he showed me his P8767 Timeport flip-phone. He said it was the last great phone. I probably agree. I'm using a vx4400 now which replaced the T720 that didn't work. I'd still be using my P8767 if it hadn't suffered an untimely death. (Well, maybe not - I can use my laptop with the LG.) PoD > Yep. My 2+ year old StarTac says "made in China" and the Motorola battery > attached says "made in Japan."

You can swap in the phone into service whenever you want on the Verizon web (for most parts of the US). I'm waiting to read a review that states that a new phone has better "RF", "volume" and "sound quality" than the P8767. Okay, even equal would do it. -- Dave Visit my New England Cell Phone Page at http://markson.net/cell_phones.htm (to reply take out the "remove" in my e-mail) > Personally I like almost anything from motorola. If you can hold out > till probably after Christmas, they might have a new phone coming out to > fit your bill. I'll pass. I went through three horrible Motorola T730s in two weeks before getting my A310 which I absolutely love. Each of the 730s were crap, some had problems the others didn't. All of them dropped calls constantly, would not ring 25% of the time, headset volume was pitiful and the huge color display would drain a full battery on 45 minutes if you're doing a lot of texting, email etc. And more... My dad's got a T720 and hates it, so I'm not surprised about the 730 not being that great either. I had the old star tac anolog, and now I'm using the i90 from Nextel. Love both phones, battery life is great for calling. I use about 1200 minutes a month and I can get a battery to last me about 2 days without charging. One of the reasons I do like my Motorolas though is cause they can take a beating. Strayed away from them once, and the phone just couldn't hack my lifestyle. I used to work factory security and the motorolas held up. Sorry about your problems with the 730 maybe they will get it right in the next model?

Regarding the LG VX10. I've been informed that Verizon is no longer using providing the LG VX10. This is bad news if , like me , you have standardized on this model for your organization and have a large investment in accessories. Granted, cell phone models and styles change faster than PCs, even so, I'm now looking to purchase about a dozen to use as replacements for when the displays get crunched. Does anyone know if there are replacement LCD displays for the VX10 ? |
