LG VX8300 (Verizon Wireless)

The follow up to LG's VX8100 this phone has been slimmed down and improved a bit in the looks department personal choice I prefer the silver more then the blue on the VX 8100
Pros on this phone Reception is VERY good I get signals everywhere and even in areas where I have had Zero bars of signal I could still make and receive calls with no problems. Hearing people has not been a problem on the VX8300 as it was on the LG VX8100 (the problem on the VX8100 was fixed with software version 7) I have had a few people ask me to repeat myself (perhaps they just have trouble hearing) bluetooth capabilities for this phone dont seem up to par with my LG VX9800 I have tried several times pairing up a Motorola HS820 with the VX8300 and it took a few tries before it Paired with the phone
even then it doesnt seem as good as the bluetooth on the 9800 or the VX8100
Perhaps this is a software issue with the phone and be fixed in future updates
The outer screen is ok and doesnt seem as crisp as the Outer LCD on the VX8100
You also Cannot read text messages from the front screen really not a big deal since you have to open a phone to respond to text messages anyway but Im sure some will find this a hindrance
the camera on this phone for a sub 2 Mpixel camera is very good IF your subject sits still but for a camera phone it does what it should and does it well this IS a PHONE after all

the battery life on the phone seems to be on par with what most CDMA phones get of course depending on your usage of text messaging listening to music, playing games and GASP using as a phone talking to people you should expect to get somewhere between 3 and 4 hours talk time and if you hardly ever use the phone right around 6 or 7 days

I did not have a Micro SD card so I couldnt try out the music features & Capabilities of this phone

Inside the phones main screen is bright but for some reason doesnt seem to be the same quality of the VX8100 in the menu section of the phone you have the Capabilities to change the Menu Themes from the Normal Verizon UI that is found of most their phones now
you can choose from The Normal Default Setting, Silver Spin, Pulse, Business, Tropical, and Blue
Which is nice to be able to change the Red Title bar found at the top of the screen of 99% of verizons phones to blue, green, or .... Keep it the boring Red
The Ringers are still the normal boring ones found on practically every LG that has been released the last 2 years Which is good for Verizon so they can force you to Buy Ringtones from their Wide Variety of partners using the Get it now service

The buttons on the phone are looking at the phone from the side appear flat but they are raised The Camera button is on the side of the phone and the speakerphone button stands alone no multi function use on it

Voice Activated commands work well and had no trouble understanding me when I said "my account" or send message to
although some friends with higher pitched voices had trouble getting it to understand them

This is a great LG phone with some nice add on features to the LG VX8100
is it worth upgrading to? Depends, if you can get it from Verizon cheap enough go for it otherwise I would stick with the 8100 or go with the LG VX9800
If you havent upgraded in a while and would like a great phone that wont disappoint the VX8300 might very well be your next phone

This is the the very best phones I've ever had. I love the speakers being located on the sides instead of the front or back. I also love the vibrate feature on this phone it is the strongest I've ever seen. Great signal strength at all times, great call sounds also. You can't go wrong with this phone in my opinion!!!!!!

I know that buying cell phones on EBAY is a rixk, due to the fact that you do not know what condition the cell phone is in or if it will work with your cell provider. however, I decided to take that risk and it worked out for me great. Not only did the phone work with my service provider, but the phone was in great condition to be a used phone. I couldn't believe that I got the phone for so cheap. I was up for renewal on my contract, and I didn't have to sign a new 2 year contract in order to upgrade to a new phone. I bought the phone on EBAY and hooked it up, and now I just have to pay a month-to-month bill. A win-win situation for me!!

This item had software glitches. It kept working fine and then randomly turned off. This was pretty frustrating. I bought it because it was similar to the phone I previously owned and I figured that I would already know how to work it.

Great phone. Easy to use and program. My daughter had to replace her original phone because it got wet but we went with the same model because we didn't have any problems with the phone up until that point. The only suggestion I have for any cell phone manufacturer is to perhaps consider making phones waterproof or at least water resistant.

The seller did not ship the item, did not respond to e-mail. I recommend that the seller be removed from e-bay. I am not concerened about the payment I already made. This seller is 100% unreliable.

I like the dependibilty of this phone it the only phone Iv had in a long time that hasnt had any malfunctions. This seller had the phone listed at an exceptional price at the perfect time! Thanks!

The phone worked great, and even came fully charged. The battery holds a charge for a long time. The phone works great. I really like it. I sync it with my Mac using BitPim.

The used LG phone works well & w/out defect, while having normal cosmetic/aesthetic wear, and arrived via quick/free delivery. No complaints, no worries.

My sons loose and get phones wet like babies go thru diapers. This phone was like new and a great deal for dads who try to keep the family in service. You can get phones alot cheaper than verizon wants retail. Thanks!

I own a LGVX8300 Now and it is starting to go out. So I wanted another phone like this one. The LG phone is either digital or analog phone and we get reception almost every where. I have owned LG Phones for at least 7-8 years and love the product.

The phone sounds good and has good reception. You'll be talking when others are walking. There is a speaker phone so you can let others listen in. Likewise you can load up mp3s onto a micro SD and play music.

This phone takes removable micro sd memory and has a camera that does movies with sound. With a 2 GB micro SD, you can record a couple hours of video and then pop the SD chip into your PC to watch.

If you are a contractor and you get your marching orders fast, you can record them and pick them apart later. When the client says he "...never asked for that!!!" you can go back and verify.

The phone does bluetooth, although I did not use that feature very much.

Mine got dropped onto concrete several times and it never got more than a few scratches. I used it for more than a year and then gave it to my daughter (with a new battery) after her mom ran her phone through the wash. My daughter is very happy with it.

thanks for the fast shipping we had no problem getting it programmed and so far works great Thanks again

I am the owner of Cellular Repair Center in San Jose, CA, and I needed one of these Cellular phones for a customer He had smashed his phone and wanted to replace same. I bought this phone for that customner. I was very satisfied with my purchase, and so was my customer.

excellent for price and free shipping did the job for me.the phone was in great shape and came with two chargers,and fast shipping.

Perfect condition. Item works great! Terrific experience purchasing this product and very happy with the product / packaging, etc.

It's a discontinued (well used) cell phone I needed to replace one I lost. Good purchase for the money. Shipped promptly.

I kid you not, this was by far the best phone I have ever owned! I dropped it so many times, and it still worked perfectly. I had it for 2 years before I was due for an upgrade..I was very sad to see my phone go, but I knew it was about time. This phone was durable, fast, and easy to use!

I bought the Lg 8300 to replace my previous Lg 5300 phone. The 8300 is basically the same as my previous phone was, except for a few extra features. In my opion it's easy to use, has good battery life, and always reliable. I would defenatly recommend this phone to anyone.

I bought the cell phone because mine broke, and ebay is a great place to buy a phone. It's not the first time I bought a cell phone on ebay. All have been very good. Thanks

I had an LG VX8300 (Verizon Wireless) before, and wanted another. Good phone, really good camera. The charging port is a real problem, it becomes unuseable quickly, not well made. But, many LG VX phones use the same batteries, and same chargers, so you can charge a battery in an LG phone with a serviceable charging port while you use another LG phone.

Well i decided to buy the phone because mine was broke and i wanted to get a cell phone which was the same as i already had... It really seemed like a good deal at the time. Once they sent the phone they sent the wrong battery so to correct the problem they sent another battery that would have been great but it to didn't work. NOw i know the phone worked well, b/c i used my old batt. and it was fine. So i had this $100.00 phone and was mad about the battery so i sold it all without a battery. and made only half of what i paid back on it so if i had to buy again i would not buy from on here! Although they were honest in saying it was used and all. They also tried fixing the problem i just got more adgatated and disgusted, so i sold it! Also thinking of leaving verizon now after a few years of there service and going to cell one so not compeletly their fault!

Love the phone, this was a replacement my old LG 8300 that the speekers failed do to metal dust. this phone will hold up where most have failed.
