Just came off a Treo 600 because I broke the display twice. Phone prior was a Motorola V60. Was a little skeptical of LG but I am impressed so far. Reception and sound quality is far superior to both Treo and V60 (verizon in ny/nj).
This phone has it all minus BlueTooth which isn't a must have for me. Camera is great compared to Treo and it's a novelty for me. Awesome speakerphone, very loud. Logical menus, didn't need to pick up the manual. Tons of features at your disposal. Using Get It Now iphone Book and iDate Book to sync with Outlook and both work awesome.
The only thing lacking is the battery life, could be better. Extended battery was great, just added to much weight for my liking. I average 2000 min a month and as long as I use cig. lighter in car and charge daily, it makes it.
Ignore the complaints on Volume problems because there is a software update for the phone to solve that. Asisde from average battery life.... this phone is great.

My NE2 was here, and I figured I dont need the most expenseve phone with all thos fancy features that everyone just loves. I just needed a phone, to well talk on, take a few pix, and that's about it. I think I found it with the VX6100. But personaly I'm very unsure about the reliability of this phone.
Back in 2000 I bought a LG-V111 (verizon phone) and after 15 months it was verturally dead. It olny lasted about 20min of talk time before I had to charge it. And then it just completly died. Verizon said they can do not a thing for me, so I bought anothng LG (LG-VX4400) and the reception was sorta ok, I droped calls where my first verizon phone (nokia 5185i) did not. So I kept that one for 5 months until I could upgrade. My brother took it and used it for 6 months and that LG died also. So I was very afraid to buy this one. But if I have problems I'm just switching to Cinuglar. Anyway here are my pros and cons for this phone.
____________/ Pros \_____________
Size: It feels nice in my palm, not to small, not really to big, just about right for me.
Speakerphone: Its awesome, first time ever having a Speakerphone cell. A friend of mine saids that the spekerphone does not pick up alot of backround noise, as his Cinuglar phones do alot.
Camera: It's good for a camera phone, flash works good in very dark situations, but it would be nice if you could keep it on. (Below there is a link for a pic tooken with my phone)
Outer Screen: Non-Color saves battery life, and you can see it in any condition.
Iner Screen: BEAUTIFUL, super bright during the day (you can see it perfectly in direct sunlight) and its so vivid, and sharp!
Vibrate: It's VERY strong, much stronger then my Nokia 3589i!
Driving Mode: AWESMOE feature when driving!
____________/ Cons \____________
Reception: It's fair at best, my nokia droped 2 calls in the time I had it (2 years) and this one droped 4 calls in the last week. Go figure.
Verizon Branded: Verizon symbol is on the back, front, on the screen, and even inside the leather case!
Side buttons: To easy to push!
Stort Battery Life: I have to charged it every 2 days! (Nokia was every 3/4)
Other: Verizon blocks sending ringtones and wallpaper through MMS.
Other: If you have this phone, do NOT BUY real ringtones from VZW Tones, they are SUPER LOW, and they cut in and out, and they are only about 10 seconds long, for 2.99 a pop, they are seriously not worth it!!!

 I've had my LG vx6100 about a month now, and very pleased with it's performance. For those of you familiar with Macro on digital cameras, this camera phone does not mention macro, anywhere in reviews or in the owners manual, But I took some photos of small text with the camera only 1 1/2 inches away from the page, it was legible and barely blurred, so at about 2 inches away the picture was fully focused, and not just close ups neither. With the the phone in the driving mode, you don't even have to touch the phone to answer a call, or even dial a call with the voice commands. It has picture caller ID, so when you take someones picture and assign it to them in your contacts list, not only does the caller ID information be displayed, but their picture momentarily appears on the internal screen. There was one major drawback, the phone was always flipping open when I sat down in my car, and also at work it was always getting flipped open, so I fixed that problem by buying a closed case with velcro strap. This phone has so many features that the first week I had it, it was an adventure every time I opened it. I did have a problem with the initial battery, it was fine the first two weeks, and I didn't charge it one night, because it had 4 out of 5 bars showing on the battery indicator icon, the next morning still the same, so I left to work with it, and 3 hours later it was beeping and completely shut down, so I stopped a the Verizon store on my way home (where I bought it) they checked it with a battery meter and replaced it with a brand new battery at no charge. I did some very extensive research on this phone before I bought it, comparing it to all other brand phones and models with identical features, and the LG vx6100 had more features and a significantly lower price. I even thought of buying a flashing led antenna, but did not and for very good reason, it voids the warranty on the phone, not to mention it lowers the reception of all calls. If you are thinking of buying a mobile phone, I highly recommend the vx6100. As with all products, occasionally there is one phone that might have a problem, that's why research and reviews are very wise, if you see problem consistencies with the same brand or model, then it's a good indication to stear clear of those. Although all the reviews I've read, I see no problem consistencies, and see mostly good reviews. So don't take my word for it, do your own research and discover for yourself if this is the phone for you. As for a provider, I recommend going with Verizon (and one of their 'provider specific' phones, all providers have specific phones that only work with a certain provider) Verizon has more coverage area throughout the United States then any other provider, and their customer service is also highest of all providers, check the reviews on them too, see for yourself. Happy Mobiling!

Kudos
- Interior screen is great. Bright, easy to read.
- Love the camera much more than I thot I would.
- Volume, sound seem fine.
Complaints
- Exterior buttons TOO EASY to push. I change things without knowing all the time. I hate that!
- Address book lists each phone number for a contact separately.
- Can't always find features. For example, just recently I had "Manner Mode" on. I did not know how I turned it on. I could not find "Manner Mode" in any of the menus. It was not in the online User Manual. I finally Googled "VX6100 manner mode" and found this forum and the way to turn off manner mode!
I should not be such a prisoner of unexplained and unfindable button pushes and functionality. Sheeesh.....

Have been using this for about two months now and I have observed the following problems. I wear the phone on the belt clip and the phone to clip design puts the lcd panel on the outside instead of the battery cover. Unfortunately, I am sometimes rough on my phone and I would prefer the scuffs get on an easily replaced battery cover. The side buttons are also very sensitive and I find myself often in driver mode or turning down my volume which really creates a problem since even at its loudest this phone isn't that loud. Lastly, and most importantly, this was an upgrade over an older motorola phone. Reception at my house has never been great, but the service was usable with the motorola. That isn't the case with the LG. It is constantly dropping calls when reception is poor. Works like a champ in areas with good service though and it is loaded with features which work very well. I wouldn't spend much money on it but for a contract extention it is a pretty good deal.

Kids will love this phone. People who care about calling people and little else might not be as pleased.
PROS:
- Best internal screen I have ever seen on a phone. Readable even in sunlight.
- External screen is LCD, making it extremely easy to read
- Good size
- Voice Dialing is superb
- Speakerphone is pretty sweet
CONS:
- Sound quality, Sound quality, Sound quality. It varies between "Sounds like a cell phone" and "Sounds like a tin can" depending on who I'm talking to. My old moto V60 sounded like a land-line phone no matter who I was talking to. This phone can get very tinny, especially at high volumes.
- The side buttons are too easy to press. You have to hold the phone "just so" in order to not press them. Perhaps I just need to get used to it... but my Pix Gallery is full of blank pictures from the Camera button getting pressed in my pocket. This can't be good for battery life.
In short.... more of a toy than a business phone, but that seems to be what the cool people want these days.

This phone is, okay.
There were pro's and con's about this phone.
Pros:
One good thing about this phone is that it fits very comfortably in your hands.
Another thing is the screen. It is very bright and you can still read it outdoors in the sun.
The battery lasts me usually 2 days, which is nice that i don't have to charge it all the time.
Two words. Alarm clock. very helpful.
Many more things..
but on to the cons.
Cons:
If you are younger like i am, this may not be the phone for you. I am a bit of a clutz, and drop things once and awhile. My phone has more scratches on it than a leather couch occupied by a non-declawed cat.
Also, (and it may be that i drop it frequently), but the speaker SUCKS. When i am calling someone, i have to hit the phone a few times before i can hear ANYTHING. If you also drop things from time to time, i recommend a Nextel.
Another bad thing about this phone, it has become VERY popular over the past few months. And when i say popular, i mean EVERYONE has it. The phone is no longer cool, it's just like EVERYONE else's.
But besides that, the phone is really nice. I will be getting a new phone very soon, and if they didn't have better models that recently came out, I would be getting it again.

i just recived my VX6100 Today and i love it! its got just about everything i want in a cell phone. the Camera works great, the Speaker works great, the lazy fuctions of voice command everything works great. (why they would put a voice command for time when it says it on the front of the phone is beyond me but hey what ever) if your thinking about getting this phone do it! its a great upgrade from the 4400 i had before. they onlything im down about is the limited number of Get it now Programs ( that will prob change) and i still dont know if it can support actual song ringtones. Its a great phone with alot of great features
on a rating i would give it a 8.5 of 10. 9 if there were more gin progs and song ringtones.

When I first got this phone, it was the second phone I'd gotten and I was quite pleased. It was a large step up from my previous phone. I was somewhat bothered when I looked through the menu to discover that there were no games on the phone, but I wasn't too concerned with that one I discovered Get it Now. For a while, I was happy with the phone and all was well. However, I eventually got sick of how it looked and wanted a new faceplate. Much to my dismay it took forever to find one and when I did the selection was awful. I got one though and put it on. Not too long after that, combined with dropping it a few times, the speaker completely stopped working. No more ringing. So I had to have it on vibrate all the time. But it wasn't too long till it stopped vibrating as well. That probably was mostly due to it being dropped so much. I tried to see about getting it repaired but they told me they couldn't and the fact that it was so screwed up was most likely due to the faceplate, which also screwed up the camera. And a couple months ago, the earpiece started to act up and now it doesn't always work. There's also the issue with the battery. I had to replace mine due to the fact that I couldn't talk on the phone for more than 10 minutes without the battery dying. It never lasted even a whole day without even talking on it. My new one isn't much better, though.
And I'm stuck with this phone for a couple more months. Quite frankly, October couldn't come soon enough.. This phone must go.
