This is a great little phone and is a surprising improvement over the model that it replaced! My not quite 2 year old LG phone "died" 2 months before I was due to replace it so I headed for the Verizon store for help. They very kindly let me upgrade at the time (after examining my deceased phone to check for "user error"!) and I headed right over to the flashy new, copper-colored KRAZR that I had been coveting. Yes, I admit it, I am somewhat like a raven when it comes to cell phones- I'm drawn to the bright colors as if by some internal pull! Many phones were "on sale" and I spent about an hour...

I had an LG VX4500 and I LOVED that phone! So, when it came time to upgrade LG was the way to go - or so I thought. First I looked at the Chocolate - the new version is GREAT, but it wasn't out yet - the old version not so much - too hard to navigate, and my niece had one and had problems with it. So I looked at the others available. I am a Verizon Wireless customer and the salesperson said the VX8300 was the way to go (more about the sales people later). It looked a lot like the 4500 so I went for it. I should mention that my 4500 fell down an elevator shat - 4 stories! - a few scratches...

The LG VX-8300 is a very good phone at a reasonable price.
The built-in camera function is convenient for when you don't have a digital camera or have not brought one with you. Also, the many features of this phone are very nice.
You can write yourself notes/memos, use the events calendar to keep track of your appointments and various gatherings, speed-dial or voice-dial anyone in your contacts list, and even personalize your ringtones and wallpapers.
If you like to listen to music while on the go, the built-in mp3 storage/playback system is just the thing. I haven't used this feature myself, so... review »
This is a good phone for us. We don't need all the bells and whistles that are so popular today. Our main goal is to have a reliable phone with good reception available for use 24 hours a day for safety and convenience. There... review »
My husband and I purchased our cell phones through our local Verizon store. The sales clerk was very helpful when we were deciding which phones to pick out. I work in an office so durability was not a big deal. But I have dropped my phone several times and it still continues to work as well as the day I bought it. Now my husband is a laborer and we have had problems with his. It seems the microphone becomes detached or something but Verizon was able to give us a different phone after a year without any hassle. Now again he is very very hard on his phones so he maybe this phone wasn't...

I have been fairly happy with this phone. The only drawbacks are: 1-I cannot save my contacts to the memory card I purchased for the phone, which was one of the reasons for getting it, and 2- for some reason it seems to shut itself off at times for no apparent reason. I am actually happy I got it when I did because I recommended it to my sister who was looking for a new phone and I got one of the last ones before they went to the new version which she had to get and I don't like hers as much as mine. Hers has an internal antennae which could be helpful to the durability of the phone but it didn't...
