activated with a VX 6000.  This is definitely the best phone I've ever
owned.  If anyone is on the fence about getting this phone or verizon in
general.  Put those worries aside and just go out and get it, you won't

I am thinking about purchasing a 9500 and was wondering if it can be charged
and hooked to a data connection at the same time.
Do the power/data connection use the same port?
I know that a 9000 can, a 9100 cannot.

I just signed up for AC Family Share, with 2 of these phone.
One of them works great. The other one... charged it up, turned it on, and
within 2 minutes the screen died (went blank). It would come and go, so I took
it back.

have turned it to the the speaker On mode and still I do not know how to use
it or what it dose. I have tried to call my phone from my home phone and it
went to the voice mail and I did not hear any thing on ...

My wife and I just spent a few days in Vermont and Upstate NY.  It was
disappointing to see her StarTac pulling in calls when my new LG VX2000
couldn't, or to see the Startac grabbing an extra bar or two of signal
strength over the LG nearly all the time.   A fair amount of the time ...

I've had Verizon service for almost three years and have never upgraded my
phone (it's a BAM-201 made by Sanyo).  Service from my house has become
worse and worse over time.  When I first signed up the phone usually showed
