| cobra1562's Full Review: LG VX4400 |
I recently switched to Verizon wireless from Cingular for several reasons. I knew that I definitely wanted a color screen flip phone, and started doing research. The LG VX4400 got good reviews from online sites and users. I got 2 of them for $49.99 each after rebates.
So far I am very pleased with the phone. It is a tri-mode phone, meaning you can get Verizon's digital signal on the America's choice network, or you can roam using the analog signal so that you have virtually nationwide coverage. Verizon claims they cover 85% of the nation.
It has a 65,000 color LCD screen with a monochrome LCD on the outside for caller ID and time information. There is a voicemail waiting LED as well as a message on the outside LCD when there is new voicemail. You can browse Verizon's "pay as you go" Get it Now network to download ringers, wallpapers and games. The prices on the Get It Now service seem a bit pricey for my tastes, but there is a good selection of quality ringers and screensavers for your phone.
My favorite feature is the voice dial feature. You simply say the name of the person you wish to call and the phone dials the number. No more remembering which speed dial location your friends are in. The voice recognition works very well even in moderately noisy environments.
The reception on this phone is great. My office is in what we call "the dungeon" no one else can get cell signal here, but this phone gets digital signal, makes clear calls as well as data transfer, even in "the dungeon".
This phone is slightly larger than a double pack of gum and at 4 ounces it is very light. You won't even know that it is on your hip when you use the included, nifty belt clip.
I ended up with the new VX4400B which has a blue front cover instead of the solid silver front. I really like the way this phone looks.
My one gripe with the phone is that it only comes with a few pretty bad wallpapers and 32 ringtones that are not very impressive. The phone does have a polyphonic ringer however and you can download good sounding ringers from Verizon's Get It Now service.
