if it had no contract requirement then it would be interesting

Man, if this had video I'd be all over it. I need to replace my 6000. She's been dropped more times than a crack baby and it's starting to show.

Requires new activation and a service plan of $39.99 or higher. Not so hot unless you're just getting a Verizon account.

Well get ready to switch -
I've an lg 8100 - built in mp3, 1.3MP camera, miniSD, bluetooth, free WAP (web access), partially hackable, plays movies (small screen) - and it's only $100 now with contract.
check out howardforums.
Oh - plus you can use it as a phone

I am with kof, I have the VX6100 and upgrade to VX8100 is well worth it for $50-100 extra. SOme people can even get it for free with certain activation/renewal/rebates. Its a huge improvement over the VX6100 with everything mentioned above. You won't need to replace this phone within 2 years easily.

I currently have teh VX6100.. great phone. The VX8100 is a bit too bulky for my taste and I don't the MP3 capabilities.

I got my LG 8100 for free after $200 MIR and a one-year contract with Verizon (purchased on 8/25 from Amazon). It's got built in MP3, 1.3MP camera, miniSD, Bluetooth, etc. just like kof said...

Of course, the phone was free, but I then spent $80 on a wired stereo hands-free, 512MB miniSD, and a USB memory card reader. I still need to pick up a USB to Bluetooth adaptor, but I want to see how it goes with just the card reader and miniSD first.

I'm coming off a Sanyo 8200 and Sprint contract, and I'm a lot happier with this LG phone. The only problem I've had so far is that the earpiece seems not to be loud enough. I'm still trying to figure out if it's the phone or the other callers.

Did you get the latest upgrade, I think version 4 or something? That might help out with your volume problem. And free is nice man, good steal.

My problem with the 6100 is that certain calls are really low volume, otherwise, the phone is fine. but the VX8100 is like a killer phone in comparison.

The phone I got from Amazon doesn't have the version 4 update. I need to go into a Verizon Store to get it. I wasn't aware that it might have some affect on the volume (I thought it was just for the MP3 player), but I'll go to get the update and see what happens.

Thanks!
