Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / December 2005phone recommendation?
Thinking of switching to VW and am looking for recommendations on a new VW phone. I want tri-mode, NO camera (work restriction), speakerphone, reliability and good signal strength/reception. I don't care about internet, data or bluetooth. Suggestions? > Thinking of switching to VW and am looking for recommendations on a new > VW phone.

Do you live anywhere near a Verizon store? If so, it would behoove you to take a trip. While you may get great opinions on what *other* people like, nothing beats feeling the phone in *your* hand, determining if the menus are to *your* liking, whether the keys are too big/small, etc. Good Luck! Notan I do plan on going to a VW store but that won't help me with the reliability and signal questions. > I do plan on going to a VW store but that won't help me with the > reliability and signal questions. You're absolutely right. I didn't mean to suggest the store, in lieu of opinions, but, rather, in addition to. Notan The last good trimode w/ Analog and without a camera that had the best signal was a Moto V60s. Your best choice now is an LG Vx3300 if you want analog or an LG VX4650. You can also look at a Kyocera KX1v (trimode digital) I'm not an LG fan, but the truth is, your choices are limited since most phones now have cameras. A new V60s can be found on eBay for about $80. With that, you wont need to sign a contract with Verizon. > Thinking of switching to VW and am looking for recommendations on a new > VW phone.

The more I think about it a dual band (I'm assuming that means no analog) might not be so bad. Most places I go in AZ appear to have digital coverage nowadays so the lack of analog probably isn't that big of a deal. > The more I think about it a dual band (I'm assuming that means no > analog) might not be so bad.

If business/pleasure never takes you away from those areas, then the lack of analog probably won't be missed. For me, it's been a Godsend!

All of the features I cared about, tri-mode, and no camera. Fabulous speakerphone. Very happy so far. Got rid of a Kyocera which had nice reception but developed several aggravating problems over two years use. |
