LG VX-8600 Cell Phone

Cons: Bad reception, breaks easily,bad picture quality

Summary: Looks nice when you first get it but once you had it for a while its get worst break easily i replaced this phone twice im tired of it.Oh it also has a bad battery life it dies out quick if you are a person who likes to talk on the phone like me

Cons: Charging sucks after a while, bluetooth is worthless, paint chips terribly, and glitches liek none other.

Summary: I've about had it with this phone. i've had mine about 15 months now and at about 13 i couldnt charge it anymore, like the first reviewer said. I dont know why, but it just stopped charging and then i got it replaced, but my provider put in a used charging jack. so now, two months later its unbearable again. the past three days i have been working hard to get the cord jack (what you plug into the phone) at just the PERFECT spot in the phone so that it'll charge. i have to hold it sideways with downwards pressure on the cord for it to charge. Terrible. On top of that, the phone glitches pretty badly and the paint is almost all gone. I can't get cool ringtones frmo my friends cause bluetooth doesnt work. overall- sh!tphone.

Cons: I have had to infringe on this phone's warrenty two times! I became so fend up with it that I made my provider give me a new one!

Summary: This phone stinks! When you first get it you love it, it is so cool, the wow factor is nice, and you got a music player! Great menus and ok when it comes to texting!

But, after have this phone two times I have gotten two broken phones right after the other! The first time, my phone came with a broken hing and over time of me charging my phone it stopped working! I couldn't charge it anymore! I don't know what happened it just stoped charging at night! So I went back and got a refirbushed phone because by that time the phone was discontinued!

But soon after getting the refurbished phone I started to notice little glitches! Like my phone would randomly shut down in the middle of a text! I would be typing this extremly long message to someone and all of a sudden my phone would shut down and restart! It was extremly annoying! Then I noticed the call quality started to go down hill, I fell like I was in the Grand Canyon when talking to someone! I could here what I was saying and I could hear what they were saying, but with an echo! Not to mention, the phone is febile! I live down south were the area is kinda dry and weekend I went up to Chicago during one of its humid days and my phone formed a moisture buble! So I told my parents about it and they told me to put the screen out into the sun and let it evaportate! Well I did and guess what the bubble did evaporate, but instead of a mositure bubble there was now an air bubble! I is now sealed there and there is a big swirl of colors in my screen that is as annoying as crap! Lastly, if you are a big texter do not get this phone! If you have seen this phone in person you should notice that it doesn't have keys but this "skin" which you might think is great because then teacher or whomever won't be able to hear you texting! Yea this is true, but that skin, over time, will start to lift up from the glue that holds it down releasing and I have seen friends who have this phone with the skin on thier phone completely gone! They have to dail by guessing (even though most people do know which numbers are which)!

Seriously, take me heed do not buy this phone is you are hard on electronics (not abbusive)! I would recommend a Samsung! LGs SuX!

btw... this phone (for me) usually only takes 4 months to start to break!

Cons: Reception not that great and phone shuts off in middle of converstations for no reason.

Summary: I got this phone when it had just came out through Verizon. It is a neat phone, if you can figure out how everything works. I don't have much tech smarts, so I don't use alot of the features. It is thin, but wide and long. I've had problems with mine shutting off for no reason. I am going to take it back and have them exchange it for a new one. The battery life doesn't last very long either. I've also not had very good reception with it. My Mom has a small and more simple phone and hers picks up way better than this LG8600 does. Also, the speaker phone is not very loud at all. Overall opinion: I wouldn't buy it again.

Cons: Ringers aren't loud enough (I wouldn't use the alarm clock to save my life)... and there is no flash on the camera (but I've taken pictures in even the darkest places with the night mode and can still see everything...)

Summary: I've been through about twenty cell phones in the past 10 years, I'm usually reckless with them. I've lost them to leaving them on the roof of cars, drowning them in the toilet, I've snapped the head off of one of my flip phones, just plain loosing them. My LG VX-8600 will never be a victim to any of these unfortunate events... I could be drowning at sea somewhere and I would be treading water with one hand and holding my phone up to save it from the water with the other... I'm serious. I've had it for about five months now. It is recently showing signs of wear and tear, but it's only left my side maybe twice in those months. I fell asleep with the MP3 player going once for about 7 hours and when I woke up not only was it still playing but it had over half the battery power left. It holds up to 100 texts in the inbox, for those of us who don't like to delete, and I have over 70 songs downloaded onto my SD card, so 70 of my favorite songs are with me at all times. I've watched TV on it, the visual is great. I am on my yahoo messenger on it. And if that's not enough proof that this is a great phone, I usually don't do product reviews for anything, but I stumbled accross this page, looking for an icon guide to find out what my son turned on and had to fill this out. This phone will be cherished!!! Hey never mind about that... I just found the icon guide on the phone... now I really don't have to find that manual!!! Yippeee!!
