Contrary to what everyone believes, the LG VX6000 doesn't have the best reception, at least in my local city. I went to my local VZW store last night, and played around with the VX6000, and the Moto T730. The reception on the LG phone was horrible, since it only had 1 bar. The Moto on the other hand had excellent reception. It got 4 bars. Don't get me wrong, I am not bad mouthing the VX6000, since the camera on the phone has amazing clarity. In the end, I guess it depends where you are, since my local city only has about 80,000 or so people. Gamer

sometimes the demos are not properly programmed.

Comparing our LG phones to the T720/730 is like comparing a Ferrari to a Volkswagon Rabbit [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] The LG must have been programmed wrong like djtonye said.

I have to disagree also about the reception. I went from the V60i which had phenomonal reception to the VX-6000 which is just as good if not a litle better. In places where my V60 went in and out of service my VX-6000 actually holds a signal more often then the V60 did. So I personally have been impressed with the signal on the VX-6000.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

My VX6000 reception is horrible! It sucks soo bad! I can't believe how many calls get dropped, not even mentioning how many calls never even connect! What a bummer. But i do think it has the best reception of all other cellphones when i am outside the bombshelter.

What city do you live in djtonye? How about you AJE? Has it ever occurred to you djtonye, that if you live in a bigger, and better city, that you might have better coverage! What do you mean that they might not be properly programmed? Are you talking about the software version, or the PRL version? Thanks Gamer

The times that i've gone to my local Verizon store i've noticed that the 6000 they had as a demo did not have full signal like mine did, when i question the sales rep, he told that sometimes they turn them on and forget to update the prl. but hey, you go ahead and get the T730 you were looking at, good luck.

djtonye, that may be true. Could I ask them to update the PRL, or how do you check for the current PRL? BTW, what is the current PRL? Thanks Gamer

i wouldn't update to the current one just yet, this current prl does not cover you as good as 50096 in some areas, so i would wait 'til further noticed .

So, is really not the 4400 or 6000 that like you say, "sucks", is the rural area you live in. Here in California, LA to be exact, it's full signal most everywhere, so you can't really judge a phone's performance in area where reception lacks.

Simply return the phone for a new one. The new one should blow away everything. | |

Here read about how great the Kyocera is. I'm not even gonna go into the exploding Nokias. Now i know this could be due to either generic batteries or chargers, but so far we haven't heard of something like this happening to our awful Lg's, but then this is another subject that has nothing to do with RF.

I agree with you, this is not an immature argument about anything, but if you read my final statement, it says that some of my comments have nothing to do with RF, and i'm simply pointing out some defects on the phones being compared. I don't pretend to know, i think that if we were all experts, we wouldn't need to come to these forums.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Yeah, but you added that "nothing to do with RF" thing after I posted (or rather as I was posting, but after I quoted you) my reply [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I just wanted to ask a simple question about why the reception was bad on that particular phone displayed in the store. I didn't mean for everyone to start having a heated debate about LG vs. other brands, and what is good and what is bad. Sheesh. Like the saying goes: Give peace a chance. LOL! Gamer

Hey....The display BARs aren't always a good reflection of the coverage anyway...put the phones into test mode...or making calls is the only real way to see what type of reception a phone has. |

I concur. We are talking about wireless here. Honestly, if I were in the sticks and it was all Sprint towers...I'd use Sprint. And My 6000 functions flawlessly, has the best reception I have ever heard, and gets great signal. It sounds better than a landline call IMO. Don't get pissed at Verizon if you live in a town with 250 people and they don't find it worth putting up 50 towers. | |
