What are your opinions on the LG 6000 vs the Audiovox 8900? Camera is not important to me, and that's irrelevent since both have.

But I -think- a speakerphone is something I'd really like to have, so I'm leaning towards the 8900. I realize the screen of the 6000 is nicer, and the 8900 doesnt have vibrate to ring, which is something I've become used to with the TM510.

So, any suggestions? Which way should I go?

 

speakerphone all the way man.. good luck.

 

1. 8900 sucks..speaker phone on it is very low
2. Lg just got rated # 1 by consumer reports
3. so much more accessories, and extras for lg6k...

just my opinon!

 

I keep reading that the speakerphone sucks, but it's working just fine for me. If you speak to the back of the phone, evne while the phone is closed, the other person can hear me.

More importatly, the speaker is loud enough so if I'm on hold, I can use it without holding the phone up to my ear.

But reading howardforums, you can get a speakerphone working on the LG6000. So now I'm considering switching.

i was in the same debate,

i heard the 8900's speaker isn't great so its somewhat useless, im SOOO happy with my vx6000, i would reccomend it to anyone

 

I charged my phone last night, and today, after a few hours of conversation, my phone is dead. Although it may be the norm for the 8900, I'm disappointed because I'm used to very long battery life on my LG TM-510. Of course that phone did not have color screen or speakerphone, but I can't deal with short battery lives.

I'm thinking (again) about going to the 6000.

 

Use of the speakerphone will definitely shorten the battery life.

 

if you can wait big things are coming this summer for verizon....

just my 2 cents...

 

Yes, and then bigger things are coming in the fall, and even bigger things relative to now will be available in the winter.. Maybe i should wait until next summer because by then the phones will be amazing!!

 

well considering the 8900 already had 3 recalls...i would wait..cause it def dosent have anything special to it...

but then again u'll have the phone for 22 months...
