| jgcinohio's Full Review: LG VX6100 Cellular Phone |
After many years with a Motorola, I switched while modifying my account as Verizon offered a deal on the LG VX6100. Unfortunately, I took it. I drive often on business and rely on hands free calling ("Driving Mode", in LG jargon). This phone requires a button and three voice commands for each call. Furthermore, you don't know when the call is over. The announcing feature for hands free is annoying as well, and the entire matter of how "Driving Mode" really works isn't addressed in the LG manual. Within 24 hours, I tried to have my old Motorola reactivated, but it was too old for Verizon to do that (no 911 dialing). I was trapped. While this works reasonably well as a basic phone, has plenty of memory, and works reasonably well as a camera, those are the basics I expect anywhere these days. The complete lack of easy, logical, and intuitive function in the hand free or driving mode will probably ultimately result in this phone flying out the window as I'm driving down the interstate.
