Pros: Lots of features Cons: Spotty reception, poor bluetooth
I got this phone after doing a lot of research. I was using the Samsung A670 prior to getting this phone. It was time for my "new every 2" and I was looking for a phone that had good reception, speakerphone, and capacity for reliable bluetooth, as I do a ...

Pros: good call and music quality, blue tooth technology, speakerphone Cons: not enough ringtones, no blue tooth headset provided
Just last week we decided to get rid of T-Mobile and switch to Verizon Wireless. Our contract had expired and we decided that it would be most cost-effective and most convenient to go with the bigger name in the Tri-State area. When going to the Verizon ...

Pros: Battery life, camera, clarity, memory slot Cons: Verizon and Lg intentionally weakened features of the phone
LG VX 8300 My wife and I have been Verizon Wireless customers for years now, and the LG VX8300 was rated the best in the reviews at the time that we got our new phones. We both chose to get the LG VX8300 because there was simply nothing better. Even ...

Pros: Long battery life, good size phone, great reception Cons: no gsp, have to buy micro sd card to use mp3 or camara
This phone has everything I need and more. I had a samsung in the past and never had an LG before so was slightly worried, samsung has always been good. I got a great deal on this phone so I thought I would try it. So far I love it. The phone size is ...

Pros: Excellent display resolution, great pictures, good new features..LG quality Cons: placement of the speaker phone button, no zoom at highest resolution
I have been an LG cell phone user starting with my last phone, the LG VX4500, which I purchased three years ago. That very reliable phone introduced me to the text messaging world, which has been a great way to keep in contact with my two college age ...

Pros: excellent speaker phone, 1.3 megapixel digital camera, plays music files, long battery life, MicroSD slot Cons: video camera is so-so, learning curve to mastering all the buttons/options, expensive extras
Time for a new cell phone. My contract was up with all kinds of free phone dollars to spend. But which phone to pick! Several months ago I chose the LG VX8300 Cell Phone, which is so much more than a simple phone! Description ...

Pros: Does everything you need from a PHONE, and several other entertainment options as well Cons: The phone is very good, Verizon limited some potentialy great options.
Great phone, plenty of features, couple of flaws. When I was looking for a phone Bluetooth was the main feature I was looking for, after having a Bluetoooth headset on my Motorola E815 this is a must have on any new phone. Most everything else was ...

Pros: easy to use, easy to read display, lots of fun, also an mp3 player Cons: Are there any? Internal memory could be bigger.
I've only had this phone for two weeks, so I'm a bit hesitant to post a review as I feel that maybe I should spend more time with the phone before writing something that could potentially influence others to purchase or not purchase the same phone, but ...

Pros: Sleek design, good sound, camera with flash Cons: The stubby antenna.
I just got this phone a few days ago. I had returned my new Razr V3M after one week because of the horrendous battery life. I must say that the LG VX8300 is much better in that department. Not only did my phone charge up quickly, but it has lasted ...

Pros: MP3/WMA music in hi-fi, Video/Digital Image Capture,BlueTooth Capable,High Reliability,microSD slot, EVDO Broadband Enabled
Cons: Headphones are proprietary
VCAST and GetItNow extras are pricey
The worst thing about this phone is that it only has (15) ringtones, and most of those are undesirable, though I do like the Verizon Default Ringer. . I tried to find more flaws and failed. In my initial search for a new phone, I'd decided on getting ...

LG VX8300 V Cast Phone
by zebra4000 ,May 13 '08
Pros: Fine until it isn't Cons: This phone gets replaced with a refurbished phone then forget it. Trash!
I thought this was a great phone until it wasn't.
All the features were fine until about a year into use.
I use it little and have taken very good care of it.
I got a headset and memory card for it and that was all good.
But, once it wears out and you get a refurbished replacement forget it.
They refurbish these things many times over so forget that.

Bad choice
by lashj ,Oct 10 '07
Pros: none Cons: Absolutely ZERO reliability
I am now on my 4th 8300 in 5 months. I've never had so many problems with a cell phone. Even when it works, the call quality is not good. This is the phone Verizon was pushing when I went with them. I wish I had made another choice. On the plus side, Verizon keeps TRYING to make it right. Just tired of all the phone failures.

Very nice phone.
by angstusn ,Mar 27 '07
Pros: Loud speaker phone, quick to charge, light weight Cons: The way it opens. Battery length
I got this phone as a replacement for another phone that I broke. This phone has a lot of features including, vcast, get it now etc. There is even a tip calculator and a very easy to use calendar. I have had this phone for 7 months now and I have not had any problems with it at all. The battery life on this is kind of small. After a 12-20 hour day making the occasional calls it is time for a charge. Charges very quickly, though. Ringing could be a lot louder. If you are in a loud environment you probably will not hear this phone ring. However, the speaker phone is very loud. The angle at which it opens makes it almost impossible to balance between your shoulder and ear without any hands. All around good phone

The Music Phone
by kaceye ,Mar 18 '07
Pros: It's a phone, music player, camera and much more all in your pocket. Cons: You can not download music to use as a ringtone.
I did a lot of research before purchasing this phone. The Razor is stylish, the Chocolate is hot, but the LG VX8300 is the best. 1.3 Megapixel camera takes some really great pictures. microSD Expansion slot for a memory card to download more music than the phone can hold alone. Bluetooth Wireless Technology for hands free driving or cleaning the house. Speakerphone and hearing aid compatibility. My favorite part, you can purchase the music kit and download music from your own CD collection to the phone. You still have to purchase the ringtones if that is something you like. The phone comes with a set of headphones and works as your own MP3 player. Another helpful feature is the front LCD. You can see who is calling without opening the phone. You can take a picture and match it to a programmed number and the picture will show on the front LCD as well. It's well made and fits in your pocket. Love the phone!
