| Ergoboy's Full Review: LG VX4400 |
After deciding that I didn't want to pay $50 a month for telemarketers to call me, I decided to pull the plug. I decided to get rid of the land line and go completely wireless. In order to do this, I had to have a phone.
After shopping around with several providers, I decided to go to Verizon. Of the phones they had, I decided on the LG 4400. While this may or may not be the top of the line phone offered by Verizon, I decided to choose it because it was the nicest thing that wasn't a Motorola. Motorola, it seems, wants to buck tradition and transpose the "Send" and "End" buttons. They may like the design, but something is to be said for consistency.
After getting hooked up, I made several calls. The sound quality of the LG 4400 is excellent (albeit loud)! I programmed all my friends numbers into the phone's memory without having to read the instructions. The menus are very intuitive.
While I like this phone immensely, there are some problems. For one, the speaker volume is extremely loud, even when turned down all the way. This is great if you are hearing impaired, but is a little rough if you aren't.
Additionally, the blue backlighting used for the numeric keypad causes the little letters to be blurry, at least for me. The holster doesn't allow the phone to be opened while the phone is in it, and you can't use the charger and a headset at the same time, which may be important if you are using it to replace a land line and you talk on the phone a lot.
Since the telephone is new there aren't really that many accessories available for it, at least not when I bought it. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.
All in all, the phone is pretty good. I am happy with it. There are some issues that I listed above, but otherwise it is a nice phone.
