For the AX-8600 from LG they took the features of the 8500 Chocolate and put them in an ultra-thin clamshell instead of a slider model.  Some of the great features include a music player, stereo Bluetooth, and EVDO high-speed data.  Enjoy recording voice memos or capturing video on your AX-8600 from LG.

Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Easy To Use, Sleek, Good Camera, Loud MP3 Player, Bright Screen, Good Speaker.

Cons: Battery Dies Fast, Not Very Tough, The Buttons Are Weird, Almost No Internal Memory, bluetooth sucks.

Summary: I have been through a few of these phones.
the first few just kept messing up,
i accidentally broke one of them, and
the one i've had has lasted two weeks so far.
its a really nice phone, its just fragile, and its a good teenager phone, just not with the battery and with how fragile it is.
its an okay phone, i've had better.

Love The Phone!!!

From: Painesville, OH (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Text easy and very accessible. love the camera, easy access to everything. large front and main screen and great sound quality. love the exterior mp3 controls. Slim and adorable, I love the phone!

Cons: The numbers are hard to push just one, but its easy to adjust. The exterior scratches easily

Summary: I have the green version of this phone and love it. I'm 14 and use a cell phone on a daily basis and am constantally texting and on the phone. I have no complaints. At first I had trouble pushing just one button, but that was an easy thing to adjust to. And the exterior does scratch easily, but I fixed that problem and covered up the blemishes with a cute cover. I would highly recomend this phone to anyone!!!

Re: Need a phone for VZW

If you're not going to use the tv featue then the vx9400 is probably not the phone for you. The 8600 has some speaker issues and some people reported the flat keypad is difficult to text on. The

Re: Nokia 8600 Luna: A definitive design statement with a touch of glass

I doubt there is much of a difference, but how are the cell phone manufacturers going to make any money if they don't give you a reason to upgrade? It's the same business model in all of the

Re: Nokia 8600 Luna: A definitive design statement with a touch of glass

The Moto is definately a better phone now that they have changed the processor and UI. Nokia is a little behind on this one. They need to take the 3.2 or 5.0 megapixel camera with the Carl Zeiss

Re: LG VX 8600 Expert Review

I used the 8600 for a week and had to return it. I couldn't get used to the flat keypad although I didn't experience any issues with the speakers I've heard the same thing posted on other forums.

Re: LG VX 8600 Expert Review

I've heard many people have returned this phone and replaced it with the 8300 because of speaker issues. Do you know if this is true? Are the speakers as loud and clear as the 8300?
