I've had the LG VX 8600 for a little while now, and it's an awesome phone! Awesome reception, smooth keypad like the RAZR, and the 1.3 megapixel camera takes pics almost as good as my old digital camera! The only thing I'm not crazy about is when the battery is nearing the end of charge, it doesn't give you a warning; it just shuts off! My old LG used to beep when the battery was running low so you would have a clue how much time was left on it. And, the original plastic holster SUCKS; both of the tabs broke off mine, and I'm very careful with it. I need to find out if they make a case that you can slide this phone inside.
Cliffs Notes - LG FTW!
