| Product Description Get ready for the power of Verizon's exciting V CAST service, which allows you to download or stream full motion video and 3D games, all on your handset. A service like that requires some horsepower, and, happily, the LG VX8100 is up for the task. This upgrade to the VX8000 ups the ante in significant ways; now you get Bluetooth and a MiniSD memory card slot. Plus, with a free software upgrade from Verizon, the VX8100 will play MP3s that are loaded onto the memory card. The phone has also been redesigned for a sleeker profile. As with the VX8000, the phone features a 1.3-megapixel camera with video capture and dual color displays. All this makes the VX8100 the perfect companion in a new era of high-speed wireless content. |

Excellent product I bought this phone in November of 2005. I have loved every minute of owning it. A problem I had with my previous phone was that it had to be charged every day. This phone will stay charged for up to 4 days after being fully charged. One does not have to open one's phone to see what calls were missed, or to read text messages. The camera can be used while the phone is closed, which makes taking pictures of oneself easy. Downloading games and ringtones is very easy on this phone, though not cheap.
My only warning is to make sure you don't throw your phone at something or drop it from a 3 story building. The screen may break. :(
If you want/need good Voice Dialing DON'T BUY THIS!!! You can read reviews regarding the other aspects of this phone all over the place. It's not a bad phone in general.
However, if you are using this in the hopes of being able to say "Call John Cell" and your phone actually does that, then do not expect anything close to a pleasant experience.
And this may not be the phones fault; however, the phone only works on Verizon Wireless (as I understand it (could be wrong))and it would then be Verizon's totally HORRIBLE voice command/dialing that is soooo bad.
Here's how it works if (and that's a BIG "IF") it works properly:
1st, press a button to bring up your voice command prompts.
The phone says "Please say a command".
You say "Call Someone".
The phone says "Please say a name".
You say "John".
The phone says "Did you say John?"
You say "Yes".
The phone says "Call home?"
You say "No".
The phone says "Call work?"
You say "No".
The phone says "Call mobile?"
You say "Yes".
The phone says "Calling."
This takes about 30 seconds if you are VERY lucky.

Here's how it always goes for me:
1st, press a button to bring up your voice command prompts.
The phone says "Please say a command".
You say "Call Someone"
The phone says "Please say a name"
You say "John"
The phone says "Did you say (enter some incomprehensible computer-voice mush that Verizon thinks the name you said sounds like, something like "mlmmaam?")
At this point you usually try and decipher the name that has just been repeated to you and then the phone goes "Bloooop" and waits a few seconds and asks you again if you want to speak to "mlmmmmam"?
If you say no it will continue to cycle through various indecipherable names that it thinks you might have said. Often this list doesn't even include the actual person you were trying to call in the first place. If you finally do get to the right name, and can understand the computer-mushmouth, here is how it goes:
You say "Yes"
The phone says nothing for 10 seconds and then goes "Blooooooooooooooooop" really loud in your ear, then waits a little longer and repeats "Did you say 'mlllmmm?"
This can be repeated indefinitely while you try several variations of the word "Yes". I find a long southern drawl occasionally gets a positive response.
The phone says "Call home?"
You say "No" (it doesn't have a problem with no at least)
The phone says "Call work?"
You say "No"
The phone says "Call mobile?"
You say "Yes"
The phone waits ten seconds and goes "Bloooooooooooooooooooooooop" and then "Please say a command".
