More on the LG VX9800
I've had this cell phone for a month now. Here are a few things I've discovered.
1. I can't use the phone as a modem to connect to the internet (dial-up) with my laptop, because it has V Cast. Great.2. The bluetooth is limited. I can use it for headphones, but I can't use it to sync to a laptop... and probably some other devices.
3. I bought a mini SD card, so I can now play mp3s and watch videos. The battery life is good for day long trips.
4. I had to purchase a USB data cable so I could put personal ringtones on the phone with out having to subscribe to a monthly additional cost with Verizon.
5. So far there have been no additional costs with this cell phone. To those who say "I want a nicer cell phone but I don't want to pay more a month" --you don't have to. You can pay for using the web on crappy phones too, but not everyone does.
6. I dropped my phone walking out of the post office the other day. I scratched it on the edges a bit; my boyfriend says it has "more character" now. Nonetheless, I sulked for half an hour afterwards. The initial shock has warn off.
I love the size of this phone. So far I have used it as an mp3 player, a camera, a video camera (only 15 seconds but with sound), a video player, and (its general purpose) a cell phone.
