My LG VX6000 and I have had an awesome span of 2 years together.  I've never had a problem with service, calls were rarely dropped and I always recieved my text messages and voicemails.
I have dropped my phone numerous times on cement, in the dirt, on wooden floors, you name it and I probably dropped my phone on it. It actually has few scratches and works perfectly! I've even gotten my phone wet. It is a tough phone.
My battery after 2 years is not doing so well. I used to be able to talk for hours on my phone and still have stand by for days but now it doesn't seem to go as far. My plan is finally up after 2 years and I'm upgrading. I'm sad to have to end my relationship with my phone but its time to move on for the both of us. Of course I'm sticking with the LG name. I trust LG my mother and my brother have both had several LG phones and they too have had good experiences with them. Tomorrow I am expecting the arrival of my new phone, but I will always remember my LG VX6000 as my first cellphone

I got my refurbished LG vx6000 in february, like 3 weeks after dropping my Samsung a670 in the toilet (smooth..)
I wasn't too excited with the scrolling clock display, and the fact that it wasn't a color LCD screen. But the more I see it the more I like it.
The first couple weeks with this phone were great. I got less dropped calls, I was so excited that I could change the theme colors, and it's easier to flip open compared to my old phone.
I barely had my phone for less than a month, and one day I pull it out of my pocket to find that the hinge broke off. It would click and pop out when i tried to open and close it. I saw that there was a piece of the hinge that would bend when I'd close it, and two days later that piece broke off.
Now the right hinge of my phone is completely broken, and I have to be SUPER carefull not to drop it. So far I've only dropped it once and the other hinge almost broke off too.
I also have to be carefull about using my phone in the rain. I've read reviews about this phone being "ridiculously sensitive" to water damage, so I'm trying to be as cautious as I can.
Despite the broken hinge and water sensitivity, I'd say this is a decent fone. Mine still works perfectly fine with a broken hinge and all, but it seems to me that it's a fragile phone and its users need to be carefull when they use it.

The LG VX6000 Camera phone with Verizon is awesome, especially when comapring it to the Audiovox 8900. The Lg6000 was rated #1 by consumer reports for all of the camera phones nationwide.
There are some differnces between the LG and the audiovox camera phones. The Audiovox provides 300 pixels less than the LG VX6000. This is a huge differnce when comparing the quality of the picture. The outer screen on the Audiovox is a black and white/ grey scale compared to the VX6000 which is color. Although the Audiovox 8900 is tri-mode (where as the LG VX6000 is all digital) and has the speaker phone option, the LG VX600 is over all more, reliable, durable, and a better quality phone.
If you have any doubts, check out the Consumer Reports, Februrary Edition!

I had a VX6000 for a grueling 2 years. So many times I was willing to pay the full price for a new phone but miraculously it survived to the end of the two year contract. I can't recall any calls that were made or received that completed without at least one drop. When my wife upgraded hers to a Motorola, we would be riding along in the car. Her phone would have a full signal, I would have no service. Also, it went through a phase where it would reset power on it's own in the middle of a call. It still does that from time to time. Verizon wouldn't touch that because of the moisture sticker scam. Nobody thinks to check it when they buy it.. it was probably pink from the start. What a waste of silicon and plastic!
I just upgraded my phone today. I feel like a great curse has been lifted from me. After I get the contacts out of my VX6000, I am searching for interesting ways to take all of my lost call agression out on my vx6000. Here is what I have so far: Hammer, Sledgehammer, under the wheel of a 30 ton fire truck, a fire house bonfire (in june), jaws of life (28,000 pounds per square inch at the tip), use it as a baseball.. Suggestions are welcome!

My 4 month old LG VX6000 died yesterday. The "Car Kit" indicator went on. I brought the phone back to Verizon. They pulled out the battery, showed me that the battery indicator was pink instead of white - and claimed that this proves it had been "exposed to moisture". They asked me if I had bought insurance with the phone (which I had not), and told me my warranty was VOID and I would have to buy a new phone at full cost.
I expressed that I had no idea where moisture came from other than perhaps a raindrop or two, perspiration or just plain humidity. Verizon basically said - "too bad - LG won't honor the warranty". I went home and looked at my daughter's phone which was bought at the same time. Although it is still working, its battery indicator is pink too. I suspect that it is only a matter of time until her phone dies and that Verizon/LG will likewise disclaim warranty on that phone.
I have seen several posts here and elsewhere about people with moisture problems on LG phones. I wonder how many other people have had similar experiences.
The phone is clearly designed to provide a "red flag" to enable Verizon and LG to deny responsibility under the warranty. We are not talking about a phone that was submerged or even dipped in water.
It was a nice phone, but it being REDICULOUSLY VULNERABLE TO THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF MOISTURE and then claiming no responsibility for it is racket that needs to be investigated more and pursued!
As a note, I have had Motorola phones in the passed that were actually "exposed" to water and continued to work!! LG's moisture indicator is a racket and is set up to enable them to disclaim responsibility on their warranty!!!

I was camping in GA and accidently left this phone behind in a tree. It was two weeks before I could get back to it. The area had seen freezing rain during that time. I just assumed all was lost. When I finally got back to the phone I opened the face and it was still on and working fine. Granted, I had a leather cover on it, but still, I could not beleive it was still work, let alone charged enough to make a call. I have had no problems with this phone before or since.
My only complaint is picture quality of the camera, though I have seen much worse. For the price of this phone, I have no hard complaints.

I have had this phone for 2 years and it's been great!  In a week I am getting a samsung v-cast, but I have to admit im gonna miss this fone. I was amazed by the pictures, easy to navigate menu's, and the outer screens. I got it a while after it came out. One thing i didnt like was it didnt have a speaker. But I have had some problems. Like everyone else, my phone went into carkit mode, and vzw said it was my battery. I think something is up about that. It was pink the night i got it! Also, a few of my buttons actually almost stopped working!  The menu button just doesn't work, so i cant answer text mesages  To go to a menu I usually press the picture button. Also, just to dial a number with 2-5 i have t push reeely hard. I have had some problems with the batterie. It used to be good, but now if i charge it all night, make five calls in the morning, it goes to three bars. Also you have to manuevor your fone onto the charger pins like a jet plane to start charging. Well, I am going to miss this phone, and I won't forget it. In a 2 weeks, look for a review of the samsing ach950

Ok... lets start off the with settings for the LCD screen, u can't keep it on forever the longest is 3 minutes. but when it turns off and u wanna see what time it is u can press any of the outside buttons. it will turn back and then off for however long u've set the timer for. and also if u want the date while the LCD screen is on press the volume key once and u should get the date and no if u press them while the phone is closed u wont change the volume. And instead of changing ur phone from "normal mode" to "manner mode" or "Silence all" while the phone is open u can do it by pressind and holding the little button under the volume key.... Now about silenceing calls while the phone is ringing. If the phone is ringing and u jus want to silence it not send it directly to ur voicemail press the volume key once, if u want to send it directly to ur voicemail press it twice.... I'll be glad to answer any other questions about this model anytime

My dad purchasied a LG VX6000 on 12-6-03 from verizon after using a kyocera QCP for two years. Well, after his two year contract was up he got a LG VX7000 and kept the 6000 for a phone book. After my Samsung a650 screen started to burnout with me doing nothing to it(no dropping it, waterdamage) verizon said it would be about three to fourhundred buck for a new one, or if we had an older phone we could reactivate it and use it. So my dad gave me the old vx6000 with 462 hours, 20 minutes, and 52 seconds of calls on it, and7446 calls made on it. Thats alot. And still i have been using it all the time since January3rd and i have no trouble with a signal on it, or having dropped calls. But for the most part, i think that the camera on it is pretty good along with the quality of it. Any phone that last that long and has gone through two extendied Li-Ion batterys and still works great, has to be good. The only bad thing that i would have to say is that when i set it on vibrate, when someone calls, it doesnt nessasrlly vibrate, it sounds like a chainsaw, and i think that it probley just wornout, but hey, what do you expect. Other than that, its a Great phone.

 Very disappointed in VX6000 phone. I have had serious problems with dropped calls and now I have a bigger problem. The phone is falling apart at the hing between the screen and the keypad. I have had the phone for about 18 months. Verizon is my service provider and they won't replace or fix the phone for free. I have never had a phone that didn't last at least 2 years with normal use. This phone was not abused and I can't believe it would fall apart under normal use. I wonder if this fragile hinge has been a problem for other users.

I have had this phone for over a year and it still is in perfect condition. All the people who are complaining about water, listen up! If you don't want the phone to suffer water damage, don't get it wet! I love this phone  , I could never get a new one. It is sturdy and good-looking. If you hit a button on the side it goes into silence, if you hit it again it ignores the call. This is not complex! If I had to pick a drawback, it would be that the phone changes modes (Normal Mode, Manner Mode, Silence All) if you hit and hold a certain button on the outside of the phone. Other than that the phone is amazing. I highly recomend it.

I don't have a LG VX6000, but i do have an LG VX3200, i know i'm on the wrong forum, but reading your problems about the VX6000, are the same problems i've been having with the VX3200, which makes me think that no matter what LG phone you have you're more than likely going to end up with the same problems no matter what. My phone went into car kit mode, just like another member had. I took it in to my dealer and they looked at the bottom of my phone and handed it back to me and said i had water damage and i would have to buy a new phone, (did i mention that they didn't open my phone and look at my battery?) Afterwards I had my friend look at my phone and he ran his finger over the bottom charger of my phone and took out a piece of fuzz. My phone worked! a couple months later it went back into car kit mode for no apparrant reason, i've had times when i've been trying to call someone, i wouldn't hear the phone ring but they could but yet neither of us would be able to hear eachother, my provider won't do anything for me because they claim water damage (go figure). i took my phone to another provider and they looked at it and said there's no way i have water damage because my battery hadn't changed colors. So now, i'm stuck with paying full price for a cell phone, which i'm going to have to save up for, but never again will i ever in my life buy any type of LG product.

All the fuss about the VX6000! I own one and let me tell u the truth!!! I have never had a better phone in my life. The camara and graphics are unbelievable!!  The battery last for the whole day, then every night I charge it. So the battery has never been a conscion. My phone has been exposed to minor moisture however the battery has not been a issue. It has been a great phone!!! and I am not looking to get rid of it for quite some time! This phone is a must have!!!! I it!!!

I have read many complaints here about the VX6000. I have owned the phone for 16 months and I haven't had half of the problems that people are reporting. For instance, the user who said that accidentally pressing the button on the side of the phone sends it to voicemail... that's just untrue. If you accidentally press one of the exterior buttons on the phone while it is ringing (incoming) it silences the ringer but the call is still there and the caller still hears ringing. The only way to send it to voicemail faster is if you open the phone and press the "IGNORE" soft-key. You can only do this, of course, if your phone is not set to answer on flip open. I am changing to the Samsun A670 now becuase I damaged my VX6000 and the insurance (Asurion) don't have any VX6000s in stock. I hope that this phone is as good.
The point is, the LG VX6000 is a good phone. My biggest complaint - my only real complaint - is that after a while I guess the leads on the back of the battery (that contact with the leads on the cradle charger) must be getting dirty or damaged or something. Sometimes I have to try 8 times or more to set the phone in the charger because everytime I put it in the light on the charger starts flashing - indicating that the connection isn't correct. Its a cradle. There is only one way to put the phone in. I shouldn't have such a hard time getting the connection right so the phone actually charges.

I have some complaints that the earlier reviewers had.. was good at first.. liked the camera and general style of the phone but I had SOO MANY dropped calls.. they dropped EVERYWHERE I live in a pretty populated area and they were dropped in my own home (and I dont have a land line) and everywhere else.. it got to be that I could rarely finish a phone call without it dropping. i could be standing somewhere and literally turn my head.. and the call would drop (i'm not kidding) that was with verizon wireless. I dont think it was just the carrier cause I didnt have that many problems with them... got some dropped calls but not as many as with the LG phone. got so mad i switched to Tmo. not had a dropped call since.

I have always hated the VX6000. The sound quality is horrible on this particular handset, it was excellent on my other phone. I had gotten this phone in august 2004. Well it was on St. Patrick's day. I had gotten mad at someone and I had too much pressure on the seam that holds the screen and the keypad together broke. the phone was physically in 2 pieces.  I went to the store and they told me they would have to replace the phone thank god my parents had the insurance.  Well a few weeks ago it was raining out. I was running in from the rain and i had dropped my phone in the grass. About 30 minutes later I was looking for the phone the phone I was calling from my other cell (cingular, Sony Ericsson T-237) and I couldnt find it. Well a member of the church came to me with my phone he asked if it was mine i replied yes. It was soaked and drenched.   I Immedietly took out the battery. I realized that the pink-Red water detector wasnt lit or faded. The Case Saved my phone. Well Im planning on getting a VCAST phone next month. The cases may look ugly but they work!!!

i have owned 4 cell phones previously, all with the same service provider, a nokia, a couple of motorolas, a samsung and this one...
i won't spend much time describing you all my tribulations and headaches with this phone... i just want to save you time and tell you this is one of the worst phones ever made... DO NOT BUY IT!
1st month service was great... ever since reliability continues to decrease... calls dropped constantly, will not receive texts or voicemails, battery life is extremely short... everything about this phone sucks...

I have read every post on this site. My husband got me LG VX6000 when they first came out. I LOVE this phone. I NEVER had ANY PROBLEMS with it except to buy a battery a couple of times, & yes the charger that you slide the phone in to won't always connect, so I got a traveling charger that plugs in to the wall & VIOLA! It was great & no fuss. But just a couple of months ago it quit ringing. Of course this phone hasn't been made in a while & Verizon said they don't have parts for it & can't fix it, so I had all my stuff downloaded into my husband's (recently deceased) phone & it's a Voyager. Suppose to be the greatest thing on this earth. But more than a few times I heard him swear at it. Well, I HATE THE VOYAGER with a passion. I'm now looking to see if I can send my cell phone off to have it repaired. It had everything I wanted (camera quality could be a tad better, but it was good for it's time) & LG VX6000 IS VERY SIMPLE to use. If my phone can't be repaired I'm looking for another LG (Ive now had 3) & a flip phone, but not a Venus, as my daughter has that one & she's more adept than I am when it comes to cell phones & she hates the Venus.
