| mykidsand_i's Full Review: LG CHOCOLATE VX8500 Cell Phone |
My husband and I are new to using a cell phone with lots of options. We had always used the pre-paid cheaper phone, that is basiclly just used as a phone. We are actually quite happy with this phone. We are in our late 20's and having no problems with it at all. It was easy to set up, it's easy to use and we like that we can play music on it that actually sounds quite clear.
When we received our phone, There were several books that came with it on how to set it up. There was a basic set up book, which I used first in order to get all the basics working so I could at least use the phone. Then we read the next book that talked about all the other stuff...setting up voicemail, adding music, using internet on the phone and taking pictures and video.
The basics on this phone are just that...basic. The phone works well in my opinion because of the following: The phone sounds clear. There is a good sound to it with no crackling, the volume controls are easy to set and there are a lot of different options for ringers that are already on the phone (like I said, it's basic- that's all we want and need!!!)
When I started to add music, I purchased a mico memory card to store all of the music on. It's very easy to use and set up. I also purchased the cord that connects the computer to my phone and that has made things very easy! My phone now holds as much music as my Mp3 player and the speaker system on the phone is just fine! I also purchased head phones and there is no difference between listening to my head phones or my cell phone.
The battery on this phone lasts for many, many hours. We have not plugged it in for 2 days and the battery still says it's just over 1/2 full.
I know a lot of people say they have problems with the buttons, but I actually like them- and my grandpa actually used my phone a few days ago. He is a person who doesn't like any new technology at all. He didn't have a problem using this phone at all, in fact he liked it. He spoke into it to call my mom "CALL MOM" he said, and it dialed for him. He loved it!
I am not a person who learns about new technology very quickly, but this phone has worked well for me!
