[CDL123456789]

i had problems with a camera start error too and i kinda got mad at it so i put it under running water for 30 seconds and it fixed my camera. the only problem with mine is i cant hear ppl on the phone but they can hear me. if anyone knows how to fix this speaker issue please tell

[2JACKIEJACKIE]

I have this phone yesterday

[fhad12]

i have this phone

but my menu dosent look like urs

how can i change it?

[R8Prototype]

Had this phone for about 2 years now, it's a very durable sleek and shiny design. Only things that sorta messed up on my phone is the "camera start error", speaker doesn't really work anymore, and the power button is unresponsive when the phone is off

[PepperRoni20]

I'm gettting this for the camera... its nice to have when i dont wanna drag around my super zoom.... yay koodo!

[james22773]

i have this phone. it is really bad for scratches. i have a hard plastic case for it.

[tallxboi94]

my battery is just fine..lasts a long time..its too bad that they stop making this phone though...but the back gets very hot if u charge the phone and talk on the phone for a long time..i dont know if its just mine cuz i made my phone...i mixed the body of the phone/screen/keyboard with a dummy phone and a real phone..

[koolwip213]

mine gets hot too

[xaviercatcherboy]

were did u get that background at?

[philippenguyen]

i have this phone but battery is so Bull s*** lol look fine, nice menu

[tallxboi94]

ur an idiot..if ur battery is bullshit then buy a new battery..

[ash61961]

is this still avaibile in u.s verizon stores?

[freshfade123456789]

ugly

[VenomEnergy]

I have this phone and I really like it, but when your texting and you erase something half the time you hit the send button because they are so close together. Also the battery life isnt very long at all.

[Gen035]

How long is the battery life? I usually plug my phone every night, when I go to bed. Do you think it will last long enough to go through a day?

[yourmom922]

mine last at least three days, so even if you use the phone nonstop, the phone will definitely last for at least a day

[ifalter]

how do you put ringtones

[quader99]

DOES THIS PHONE HAVE LOUD SOUND i want to get one with loud sound can some one tell me

[TICK10000]

Hey can people help me please. I really like this phone but i dont know where to get it in the UK. Can someone plz help me asap. Thanx very much

[james22773]

wow, i just got this phone with koodo and its totally different, and black

[ShadowBunshin]

I just signed a contract with koodo today, and I got the motorola $0 with the plan. I am planning to switch to the LG Shine about a month later. Just wondering when you say its different from this phone in this video?

[ifalter]

i suggest not to get it.

because i have it right now and i am not impressed with the whole in box thing.

you can only have 50 messages in your inbox.

[mammaltoes7]

its different because he is describing faetures from the verizon phone different service provider = different features

[james22773]

no dude i mean the features between the silver shine and the black shine are different, different menus, different buttons, etc.

[lassfarfromhome]

lol that's cause they're two different phones. it's not just a colour difference. the one you have is probably the VX8600.They changed a lot of the features on this newer one.

[OscerMier]

This guys a tool

[jacer183]

does anyone have this phone with Kodoo mobile? if u do plz msg me with what u think of this phone and how u like it

[Stiverton]

I'm going to buy it today, send me a message and I will let you know how it is.

[funkyboy012]

does he got a loud sound plzzz answer in a hurry

[cerz143]

is there a USB cable included with this phone inside the box?

If no, how do you get your music files(mp3) on the phone?

[AfroMofo]

no there isn't you have to buy one

you get music/videos/etc by using Bluetooth

[cerz143]

what do you mean "By using Bluetooth"?

like, sending it wirelessly from your computer? Explain please :D

[AfroMofo]

Yes, it's sending stuff wirelessly from your computer. You have to go buy a wireless bluetooth card or an usb adapter for your computer in order to send info to the phone.

I hoped that helped! =]

[cerz143]

Yes that did help, thanks :)

[napagolo]

There is a way to do this without having to use Bluetooth wireless. The way I get mp3 files onto this phone... buy the Verizon Music Essentials kit for this phone which has a USB adapter and a convenient wired earbud phones. Download BitPim and use that free app to upload mp3 to the phone where you can use them as ringtones. I also use this to download photos and videos that I take on my phone.

[cerz143]

oh ok, thanks. anyway, it doesnt matter anymore, because I went with the LG CHocolate Flip VX8600 (Telus). Its kinda easier with the Micro SD Card+ Card Reader. Thanks anyway.

[ilovemypurplesocks]

I'm thinking about getting this phone..but one question. Is someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to say these things? Your voice is very strained.

[SpydermanGST]

Lol. This phone is horrible man. The inbox can only hold 51 messages, so I hope you like deleting often. The metal is very odd, it causes condensation of moisture to form inside the phone causing the battery to be exposed and the indicator changing colors. Beware of this phone. It looks cool yeah, but it's not worth going to Verizon every week getting it warrantied out. Oh btw, the sound quality is terrible. Sounds like a busted speaker from the early 90's.

[ilovemypurplesocks]

Well then what would you recommend? It seems like there are no good phones out there.

[SpydermanGST]

The best phone I've ever had was the Samsung blade phone. It's for Sprint though. It's a bit old, but it has the high resolution menus like this phone and it is EXTREMELY durable (the only withdrawl is that it has a 1.3mp camera). But if you are set on a Verizon phone, I've heard many good things about the Voyager and Blackberry. Since I exchanged the VX8700 I now have the VX8800 and so far it's a decent phone (I've had it for about 2-3 weeks so far). But remember, there are lemons out there.

[ilovemypurplesocks]

No, I just need a phone that will work with a Saskatchewan provider.

[teacherbuchan]

i have this phone

its amazing

i would definatly recommend this phone!

its fucking sexy!

[PHaitiano]

I REALLLYYY WANT THIS PHONE!! where can i buy one (preferably prepaid but unlocked is good too) pleasee reply asap!!

[wowmikiwow]

i got this phone,it kicks ass!!!!!!!!

[koolwip213]

i just got that phone two days ago and i love it

[NoogenMCC3]

How's the battery life

-Gettin mine tomorrow off ebay =)

[yourmom922]

the battery life is great i dont know why people complain about it. also, the phone is even better looking in real life

[NoogenMCC3]

Yeah right, I just got mine thursday, the battery life does kinda suck. I think i'm gonna have to buy me an extended battery

[PHaitiano]

whered u get it? i want one too (prepaid)

[NoogenMCC3]

They don't sell it out in stores anymore, but you can always get one off of ebay. That's where I got mine from

[ActressCanada]

What? I got mine in a store brand new like a month ago. And the battery power is awesome unless you're constantly recording video or taking pictures.

[TaylorChloe821]

tell me h0w it is im getting it in 0ne m0nth!

[ferrariboi98]

i need help, all my pics are in alphabetical order when they should be in the order in which i took them. PLEASE HELP!!!

[yourmom922]

i just got this phone two days ago, and i think it's incredible. the screen is the clearest ive ever seen on any phone, and the camera is awesome. also, the sound quality when you play music is great. the only thing i can complain about is that once you get a lot of fingerprints on the stainless steel, its kind of hard to get them off

[sneakercollector456]

having a REALLY hard time picking this phone or the lg 9400

[and1strtblln]

i wonder wat song came up when u were tryong out the song ID thing =P

[vansaregood]

i have this phone, the camera may be a 2mp, but it is AWFUL.

[EvAnEsNcELuVr]

really?

[asgerst]

i got one i think its better than most phone cameras

[zabuza182]

u dont know what ur talking about the camera is good ur just camera retarded

[DDRFreak8732]

i think he means it bad because its stingy like if you move it around or shake it just a little bit it kinda blurs but it is better than most cams on phones.

[NoogenMCC3]

Can you record videos with it?!?!?!

[wowmikiwow]

yes,u can.

[TheThethunderbolt]

@zabuza182 ur gay and retarded



[BrownEyedbballer18]

i like the flipshot :)

[halomanno]

same here i can't transfer files via bluetooth

[rsmall32]

Yeah thats because Verizon crippled the bluetooth features, so you'll have to use vcast and pay to transfer files. Yeah I know it sucks :(

[DDRFreak8732]

i know it sucks i hate how all my friends with at&t can send files via bluetooth and verizon cant.

[ifalter]

Hi guys, i have this phone and i mhaving troubles with it. first, i cant send & accept images from other phones via bluetooth.

second, whenever i try to plug it into my computer and transfer pictures from the phone to the computer, I CAN'T. i have no idea if i got a broken one. please help me! ='(

[loneknight97]

well- im not sure. i cant explain... like its average for a phone. its not bad

[loneknight97]

i have this phone, its so wicked! works for CDMA verizon networks. ive had it for 8 months, and i am NOT excited to be getting a new phone in 4 months :(. i think im just gonna get a brand new contract and keep this phone

peace im out :) hey mix

[slayer6529]

hey im just wondering, whats the battery life like on the 8700. Cuz my chocolates battery life is sooo bad it dies in like 4 calls i make so i was just wondering. I wanna know what kind of battery life it takes up when just browsing through the menus and when making calls. If you could enlighten me on this it would be great cuz im thinking about getting this phone

[SpydermanGST]

The VX8700 is not much better. I have to keep this thing on power save mode all the time just for it to last me long enough to get back to my charger.

[hkkevinc]

This phone is amazing. I have had it for about half a year. Only flaw I have found is the screen has moving room when closed. I mean side to side movement.

[KiteBobby]

this phone is so sweet. i have had one for about 5 days now. this is gonna be my permanent phone. LOVE IT

[VoyagerX5]

Hey, do you still have the VX8700? I want to get it but I'd like to know your opinnion on this. Thank you

[pizzarules69]

does anyone know if the telus bundle includes the USB or memory card?

[mehijoon]

No it doesn't. and I have a hard time finding the usb cable with no success up to now.

[insert445566]

can i ask where did you buy yours

[mehijoon]

FutureShop

[pda998]

I'm getting this phone in January!

[drummaprodigy]

I appreciate the fact that it has a setting where you can please the phone up to a speaker, playing your favorite song, for about 10 seconds, then the phone instanly finds the song for you. Yes, I agree with the fact that you said it would be better if it was in the V-Cast section of the phone, instead of being in another application, where you probably wouldn't remember to look in.

[evangodlover]

it has that setting, where???? My wireless subscriber is Bell, and i ahevt he lg shine, will it be included with my phone, or will i ahev to have V-cast for that application to work?? plzz reply:)

[aren911]

only verizon sells this phone

[evangodlover]

i have this phone, its pretty good, and looks awesome, but it scratches very easily, get a protective cover for it, or the phone will ruin in at least 6 days

[19amcbride88]

this might be my next phone

[bigjoeylube]

mine uses the walk man head phones

[colin2011]

i prefer the LG 8600

[insert445566]

how do u put music on to it ????

ANSWER PLEASE

[bigjoeylube]

use the included usb cable or take the card out and put it into your card reader but first you have to format it using the menu. drag and drop or send to the card!!!! hit me up if ya need more instructions

[sugarspice46]

ok??

[gmax876]

That's not the shine. The shine is a slider "LG KU970" correct me if I'm wrong. maybe the slider version is 3G, this must be the CDMA version.

[insert445566]

there are 2 shines. on is a flip 8700 and the slide tu720

[cdmytc]

Thanks for the thorough review. I'm buying the phone.

[travelplus1]

You can actually use a regular headset by getting the adapter from Verizon that goes from a 2.5 to 3.5 which you hook up to the provided adapter just like you can do on te Chocolate.

[kyle12kyle12]

You should take this video off cause your using Princes name and he gets people to look if people are using his music or names or stuff soo you might have to take this video off lol but just sue him like that girl is doing for using backround music while her baby is jumping lol

[rapgangstathug]

ur a fag

[gotenks98765]

i got this phone its alright....

but omg u cant even make an mp3 to a ringtone

and it doesnt come with any good applications..u gotta download them

how fucking gay

[speedoguy]

thats because verizon"s ringtones are not mp3"s they are mid's

[Cyetso7]

whichh works very well i might add.. haha whooo says that.

[LinuxGalore]

VX8700 has super gay ring tones, trust me you will puke they are really bad, the sound is rubbish too and the ring level is low when closed, the menu layout is something thought up by a dyslexic monkey on crack so get used to going wtf.

[Biguns79]

this guy has to be gay

[ilikecereal805]

you should include rigtones in phone reviews!!!!

[travelplus1]

it's sure like the moto v3m

[slicknick401]

this phone will probably be my next investment

[Delint20]

Your voice annoys the hell out of me

[depper]

Yeah, your voice sounds like Richard Simmon's gay son!

[thatkrndude]

I want the Prada to come out to verizon, so i could stop using the gsm and sim card, its beggining to annoy me

[phone1234567]

Yea, nowheyjose2, you're right. Verizon didn't use the name the "Shine" because the phone isn't the Shine. The Shine is a slider phone and the LG VX8700 is a flip...not the same.

[nowheyjose2]

Isn't the Shine the KE870 slider? I was under the impression that that was called the Shine because the front doubled as a mirror.

[SunDevil1984]

Awesome phone, my girlfriend just got it and loves it!

[jefboyardee]

Listen to the thwap.

[ChibiRoses]

Thanks for this Phonescoop! I LOVE YOU! xO

[justblaze3417]

looks better than the razr anyway, but Idk about the razr 2

[Hamburger247]

First One TO View

[justblaze3417]

why do you idiots do that?

[Hamburger247]

Same reason why you idiots smoke crack

[justblaze3417]

what an utterly moronic response, I guess that's what I should expect from someone retarded enough to think anyone gives a shit that they're the first one to view a video, how pathetic is it that you actually feel that's an accomplishment worth bragging about?

[Hamburger247]

I don't know who is more arrogant about their sophomoric indolence...you or George W. Bush...Look you mos def need to find a hobby other than masturbating to Japanese Animation characters and reply to what someone said on youtube that wasn't even directed to you...GET A LIFE.

[justblaze3417]

....

what a fucking idiot

[Hamburger247]

To say that you are one and for you to acknowledge your one is the most intelligent adjective you have used since you looked in the mirror and realized that your a failure

[justblaze3417]

you're*

So because I'm annoyed by immature jackasses who feel it necessary to announce their only accomplishment for the day which was being the first to view a video on youtube makes me the idiot and not yourself? Honestly why the fuck would you post that, no one gives a shit.

[Hamburger247]

Just like no gives a shit if you are here go kill yourself

[justblaze3417]

well that was original

[Hamburger247]

Well if doing that is not that original for you then do something else to do so. Isn't it about time for you to masturbate to the person you chat with on AIM

[justblaze3417]

"Well if doing that is not that original for you then do something else to do so." uhhh what?

Anyway, this is going nowhere because you're just making absurd personal attacks based on absolutely no evidence seeing as you know nothing about me, which I'm not even going to justify with a response, so I'm done. I've said what I wanted to and that's the end of it.

[Hamburger247]

Great and you need to end it whatever words you type is enough for me to judge on who you are and how you think. It doesn't take much anywho keep masturbating to Japan Animation queer.

[Taurus702B]

Wow people just need to chill. Great video, that phone is better than the current RAZR.

[Fakenstien]

Wow. Hamburger and justblaze, you two are total losers arguing over something so stupid

[justblaze3417]

that's interesting, coming from a 16 yr old with wow porn on their favorites

[uws]

i have to agree with 'justblaze'...you're a fucking moron
