LG VX9800 (Verizon Wireless)

love technical gizmos and after many years of owning used, purchased from E-bay, $25 phones, I went all out and bought from Verizon, with a 2 year contract, the ever so snazzy V phone. Since I travel all over going to horse shows, I wanted a means to get my email and check the web forums I belong to, and this phone was the answer. I have had it for 9 months now and the only problem I did encounter was that within 30 days the first one locked up and would not boot. I went to Verizon and got a replacement.
Features that I find very handy:
camera and camcorder-and the ease of sending these gems to folks, Internet access for email (Yahoo email works great!), Internet access for browsing the web, this is actually awesome! I can keep up with my news and forum sites all I want. the V-cast access is pretty fast, Bluetooth wireless headset and voice activation...heaven!,
The full keyboard makes text messaging a snap

Features that I don't use:
The V Cast video downloads, not enough of them, ringtones - I like the lady talking to me when someone calls, MP3 player - I do have a 1/2 gig card loaded with songs, but heck I have my Nano! A quick MP3 update... I actually find that the little boom box inside my phone is so good that I do use it as a stereo on occasion, and its not bad at all!

Another "like" about this phone is the battery. I never did purchase the longer life because the phone itself is already big enough. One day at work we were cramming through a bunch of tedious stuff in a big room. I had only one bar left on my phone but cranked the MP3 player and it lasted 2.5 hours on that last bar. I could not believe it!
