I bought this phone for a friend that has a vision disability and is legally blind. They are very pleased with the phone since it has voice commands in order to make calls.

The phone doesn't work properly. I got it for my grandmother who doesn't know how to use phones. Unfortunalty you can only hear people when it's on speaker. Ofcourse if the speaker button is accidently pushed, my grandma doesn't know how to turn it back on even though ive showed her a million times. Im scared that will happen if there's an emergency, I won't know what's going on. I bought her a new working phone... Sucks I waisted money

I got this phone brand new with the renew every 2 program from Verizon. It replaced an LG vx 4500 that is over 2 years old(And has even been through a wash and rinse cycle in a washer). All bells and whistles aside, the 2 year old VX4500 LG phone is far superior to the VX8300 or any other current phone offered by Verizon for simply making a phone call.(Isn't that why we have cell phones for in the first place?)The Crystal clear sound quality of the earpiece, and its volume are untouchable, especially if there is a lot of ambient noise). The VX8300 excels ever so slightly in the area of reception; mainly when operating on the PCS band. I personally do not like the front display on the newer phones either, because they go blank after the preset time, just so they have the ability to display pictures, and or graphics. Why not have the LCD screen on the inside of the phone, so the front outside panel either shows the time, missed call or message status all the time? Seems much more practical. I have taken the 8300 back, and reactivated the older phone and couldn't be happier. Come on Verizon, lets get back to the basics!!Read full review
I have the chocolate touch now, but this was a review of my once-owned LG VX8300 phone, it was initially posted on phonescoop. I give this phone a 3.5 because it was durable. The phone was cool, and I got the new Boulder to replace it (since replaced that as well, and this phone has stood up well. The phone has been thrown at walls, it even was drowned in a cannoeing tipover and it still works, occasionally the screen would have lines in it and you couldnt see any thing you'd take out the battery and it would still work, despite all of that damage the phone has still worked and the battery is still ok, I have had 3 of these. This was the first one. The second one got thrown and smashed off the side of the phone i mean like the speaker on the side and smashed the screen, oh and it was not me that threw it, it was a grrrrrrrrrrrrr to halo, because my friend threw it, it had also gotten water spilled on it and worked. third one i barely had for a week and it fell into water, i was emptying the dehimedifere and the phone dropped and the water was down, phone constantly said car kit mode, and i have to switch from it to the lg 3200 and then to the boulder. That last one even after drying didnt work, The good features were the music buttons and the video camera. good phone.Read full review
Got this phone to carry me until my Verizon plan ends and I can switch without paying termination fees. It's a rather simple phone and many things don't work anymore. Anything with "Get It Now" won't work due to Verizon having made changes to the system (and that DOES mean no backup assistant restore of your contacts). Battery life is ok, a little over a day, nothing to write home about nor to really cry about. Another beef is that the headphone plug is non-standard 3.5mm so you have to get a special set of headphones to use the MP3 functions. Basically, it's an old phone that used to be good and that now gets the job done in terms of calling and texting.
