Right now I have the LG VX6100(I believe its that, or the 6000), I absolutely hate it. I originally had the VX4400, comparing the vx4400 to the 6100, I would have taken the 4400.
The 6100 side buttons stick out way too far so they become easily pressed if they are in my pocket. Resulting in either my phone being turned off of Manner Mode, turning on Driving mode which is the most rediculous thing ever, or taking photos of my pocket. Whatever happens I don't like it. On the VX4400 I had no problems whatsoever of them being pressed(I once and a while did, but with the 6100 it is every other day.) Why don't you just keep your phone off? Well I tried doing that, and if I was in a hurry or something important came up it takes approximately half a minute for the damn thing to power up, really inconvenient because I mainly just forget about my phone when its off.
The driving mode/voice dial is horrible, I mean absolutely horrible. Instead of allowing you to program the phone to dial a number by your voice, it attempts to enunciate the name using really old technology(Anyone remember those text to speech programs that would read the text on your PC? Well the phone is as bad as that) and tries to compare how it would enunciate it to how you enunciated it. There is no way you can set it so that your voice is what it tries to recognize(Kinda hard to explain). First I have to say 'Contacts' and pray that it recognizes that, then I have to say a name, like 'Work' then it will almost never recognize it and decide to say 'Did you say......home?', its a utter pain in the ass.
The camera on it makes it almost pointless, max resolution is 640x480 and the pictures are insanely grainy, I've gotten to the point of not even bothering with it. I take a picture and want to set it as the wallpaper theres a hude spacing above and below it, they decided to set the camera's resolution ratio to a number that the screen cannot even display properly.
Theres several features on the 4400 that they seem to have taken out of the 6100, in my opinion it seems like LG is trying to downgrade their phones.
What I am looking for
Extra things I would really like
I really really really do not want a LG phone. I was looking around and I'm thinking about either waiting for the Kyocera Slider Remix comes out or the Kyocera Koi. I really want opinions from people who have had phones personally that seem to match the stuff above.
Thanks in advance for the help folks.
