I've been trying ever since I got my VX 6100 a couple weeks ago to get the
firmware updated.  I've tried stores in the Nashville area and 50 miles away
from there but, none of them are able to do it.  They say that they've
submitted a ticket with Verizon but, even though a ticket ...

Subject says it all.  Phone has a feature called "driving mode" but I
can't find it explained in any detail in any of the documentation that
came with the phone except that's it for hands-free operation.  What
does this do exactly?

Newbie questions.
1.  Does the antenna extend?  It seems not.
2.  The manual contains warnings not to touch the antenna, and to keep
at least two inches away from the back of the phone.  How the heck do

Phonescoop just posted an update to the Moto V710. The Moto E815, and
the phone looks great. Has anyone heard anything about this phone? will
it be coming to Veriozn?? I know Moto has been putting out bad
craftsmanship lately, but this phone looks very nice.

Since the Cingular/ATT coverage map has improved significantly and given the
Bluetooth debacle with Verizon, has anyone else considered switching to
Cingular/ATT?

I can't seem to get ICS working with my PC5220 card. It works fine with
1xRTT but doesn't with EVDO. Has it been disabled somehow? If so, are
there any work arounds? Thanks.

I know the question has been asked, but I searched and never found the
answer to this:
Can I change my Local Plan to a National Plan without extending my contract
2 years? The Verizon website "promises" that you can do that, unless it is a

I have an LG 4400 and am looking to upgrade.  What are everyone's opinion about the LG VX4600?  Is it a good phone? How does it compare to other verizon phones as far as reception and battery life?
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for an extended life battery for my LG6000 & willing to pay extra
for a quality one.  With so many places to buy and problems with after market
batteries can someone recommend a place and/or brand to buy.  Would appreciated
any help. thanks

there are a lot of posts about this and it's really hard to find a
definitive answer:
who has gotten a successful connection from pc to phone and used it to
put ringtone, graphics, schedule, etc onto an a650, and how?

I have just entered the world of digital cell phones with a Verizon
Samsung SCH-a650.  I had been under the impression that I would be
able to program it (especially the phonebook)  via a computer cable,
but can find no reference to this.

I have BitPim and an LG VX 7000 connected to my PC via USB port.  I can
transfer wallpaper, ringtones, and address book information.  But the
Calendar option to send files back and forth is greyed out.
Can anyone tell me why this is so?  And is there a way to fix this?

Does anyone have this type of voice mail:  Enhanced Business ?  I guess
among other things, it gives you the ability to receive faxes and to have
calls/messages routed to various "caller lists".  It also allows you to keep
more messages on your voicemail before you run out of ...
