The Bottom Line:
If you're looking to save on your cell phone purchase and can live without (e.g.) CD quality ringtones, this is a prime pick.
Sure, I like games, polyphonic rings, and text messaging just as much as the next girl (or guy). But I don't need everything...I have a camera, and a CD player to listen to music. I wanted a pretty basic phone, with enough features to make it fun and able to keep up with those less easily entertained as I.
I ended up with the LG VX2000, and ever since I've seen it put down. I'd like to point out my grand total of 6 dropped calls in the past...oh, year? and half were in elevators. Small enough to slide into my purse or pocket, but large enough to be easily located while ringing. A battery that charges in the time from wake-up to out-the-door, and lasts until I happen to make it back home. Snap-on faceplates to coordinate with my outfits/moods and of course, a banner to express my current thoughts. The voice recognition is much better than I had on my old Motorola v20 (for me, at least) and the speakerphone comes in handy whenever I'm driving through cell-ban cities or just don't have a free hand.
I also use Mobile Web...no point and click or pretty graphics like on color displays, but for on-the-go e-mail or chat, it does the job. The T9 text entry took me a minute to get used to, switching from Motorola and Nokia's flavors, but when I found it pretty intuitive. I SMS AOL Instant Messenger and can keep up with my keyboarding friends without too much trouble.
My only complaint is the phone book. Don't get me wrong, assigning individual callers their own ring is *the* best thing since digital, but there's just something about the organization that doesn't click with me. But considering that's my only complaint, I can overlook it.
The best part? It was one of the most affordable phones in the Verizon store. I have to say, after all the models of phones I've had since 1997, the LG VX2000 is my favorite.
