Pros: Great options, built strong, pleasing look, good clarity.
Cons: External silence button that silences phone sometimes, less than desireable ringer/vibrate options.
The Bottom Line: This is a good durable phone that has all the options a college student like myself would use. I recommend this phone for almost anyone.

| voicesinmyhead's Full Review: LG VX4400 |
I've been using the VX4400 for around six months now with Verizon Wireless, and I am very satisfied thus far with its performance. With regards to call clarity (the most important factor) this phone performs much better than most flip-phones I have had experience with in the past, even while roaming in analog networks, something previous flip-phones have had problems with. I find the large external and color internal displays very helpful, and the button layout is not so close that you press the wrong ones while text messaging or dialing. The phone is built very well, something necessary for a college student like myself.
This phone also excels when it comes to the extras. The phonebook has a large capacity and great options such as speed dial, voice dial, multiple numbers per name, grouping, and the option to assign different rings to different people/groups.
Get It Now allows you to download color games, which is good because the phone unfortunately doesn't come with any. The wireless web is fast and very helpful. The phone also has extensive setting options, a calender, notepad, and schedule option, as well as voice memo option that you can actually use to record telephone calls and voicemail (although on calls it only records the other person's voice). These are just a few of the great options.
The only real downfalls are with the ringer volume and options. One annoying aspect is that one control between normal right - manner (vibrate) mode - silent mode, is on the side of the phone, and changed by holding the button three seconds. Well, if you have the phone in your pocket, you'll notice this will happen once in a while by itself, therefor perhaps silencing the phone when you don't want it silent. This isnt a problem if you use the belt clip.
The other major problem is with the volume control. Unlike my previous phone, this one cannot vibrate and ring at the same time. When set to this option, the phone will vibrate for a while, and then ring. Well, depending on the number of rings you have your phone set to before it goes to voicemail, the phone may never get to the ring and you may miss a call.
Overall, this is a very decent phone, and I would recommend it to most people in my position.
