It looks just like a RAZR which I hate mine.

Is it out yet? Maybe I'll pick one up!

Looked at it, roughly the same size as the Razr......seems a bit longer though although I don't remember.

Anyway, definitely more practical than the Chocolate slider (bigger buttons).

Wonder if the battery life is any better than the Razr? That's its biggest weak point.

The Chocolate isn't so great either in that regard.

Where did you hear that? The battery life of my chocolate is pretty damn good if you ask me. Usually by the end of the day, my battery is still completely full, or it JUST lost 1 bar.

Also, about the vibrating and ringing, I'm assuming you're asking because of the Chocolate? I discovered how to set it so that you can have it vibrate all the time as well. You go to Settings, Sound Settings, Call Sounds, Call Vibrate, and turn it On.

As I stated in the other thread. LG got it right with this phone.

They basically did what the razr's never could do...

Good reception, Better battery life, and just as slim.

I have the Krazr right now and it sucks!!

Go with the 8600 and you won't be dissappointed

Had the 8600 for a bit over a month, great phone. My 3rd LG VX---- phone. For those asking, you can have it ring and vibrate at the same time.

Only thing I don't like about it is the speaker phone volume, its very low. I don't understand why thought, it uses the same speaker for the music which is perfectly loud.
