LG - VX8500 Cell Phone Review

I have always bought LG VX cell phones.  They seem to be a superior quality for the money.  They are moderately priced and I never have a problem with dropped calls or messed up screens.The phones last me my two years until I'm eligible for a new verizon phone and then some.  I had my last LX VX 8500 for 3 years until I finally lost it, it was still working, it just fell out of my son's stroller without my noticing.  The LG phones aren't extremely fancy, but they have all the most desirable features and are durable.  I have found that the fancier the phones are, the quicker they break. When I called LG for support with my phone, they were courteous and helped me program my phone.  The speaker is loud enough and the company is consistent with their programming so from LG VX to LG VX, you never have to  learn a new set up for the phone programs.  Though the VX 8500 isn't the fanciest phone around, it gets the job done.
