Maybe I will look into this when I look into the North American Dialing since Verizon is the only company that appears to have something like that.

Actually I do, more than I'd like to admit sometimes. Send me a PM with some info on the North American dialing plans if you get a chance, I believe you still work for Verizon?

Well I don't exactly know how to transfer pics from cell to pc but I'll tell u that the pic quality is very very good. Video aint bad as long as the movements aint too quick. Another cool thing is that u can use the camera even when closed. With the phone closed u hold the camera button on the side for a second or 2 and the front screen shows what the camera is viewing. Pretty convinient for the hell of it. That way self portraits or 2 people personal shots are not crooked.
All the other pics of it I've seen are online and they aint too bad.

Well I got mine in a Circuit City. This was after I called a bunch of VZW stores and they said they didn't have it. (strange I know) At CC there were only 5 available anyway so I hopped on it when I called them and asked them to reserve it for me. Sure enough I was the only customer who knew it was around this time.

No problem, I wasn't sure if you were there daily. I might stop by a store, but any info you can provide would be great. Can you do sales over the phone and take some commission off the sale?

So if they told me it was promotional thing, said to me it was free, and if I check my reciept and it's not, can I fight it off and actually get it for nothing.

I called my local Circuit City and Verizon stores on Tuesday and they both gave me the typical “never heard of that phone” line.
I have some time to kill after work tonight so I’m gonna run over to the Verizon store in person tonight and bang some heads together.

Hey Mikey… Any chance the data cable from my LG-VX4500 will work on the 8100?

My Dell laptop doesn’t have a serial connector and my 4500 data cable is USB.
I see the 8100 cable is serial only which means I’ll need a USB-serial adapter.

my parents just got the new e815 and i've been fooling around with it the past couple days, i think its going to be a tough decision. I'll get the vx8100 and if after 15 days i don't like it any better i'll tade it in for the 815

The specs from the phone have yet to come out yet...usually it says on the box. of the data cables...but we dont even have holsters in...so we have to wait a bit for the data cables ...

think they know which one is which on howard forums...they are way passed me on the small stuff...
