LX3200 newbie questions

Hello everybody!

<"Hello Dr. Nick!">

I was quite happy with my unlocked Nokia 6310i on T-Mobile's network, but the company I work for decided they could get a better deal by switching to Verizon.

Now, only those few people that travel regularly overseas get the T-Mobile service and the rest of us have to hand in our phone (just the SIM card in my case--I ditched the crappy Samsung they gave me ages ago), and we've all been issued LG LX3200 phones.

Can't do the same trick I did before--two totally different technologies (GSM vs. CMDA) so I'm stuck.

1. Does anyone know if this phone supports any games? Not an issue for me, but I know several people that have asked. I found two reviews for this phone on the web; one (on C-NET I think) says yes to games, but no mention of games on the LG products website.

2. It's driving everyone crazy that there's such a limited number of ringtones -- and now we've all apparently picked the same ones because every time a phone rings a dozen people all grab for their phones.

I know I can use vtext.com to get new ringtones, but since they're billed to the account, and it's a company owned phone, I'm loath to risk it.

So...anyone know a pay site that will bill my credit card? I've checked out a lot of the common ones, but they don't seem to support Verizon or this model of LG.

(Yes, I've already checked out the DataPilot USB cable. $60 seems like a lot of money just to get a different ringtone. What are the capabilities of the software that comes with it? Might be worth the price if it does a lot of stuff.)

3. The phone's small enough to carry in my pocket, but I've got enough crap in there already. I've checked with Radio Shack and Best Buy and a couple other places (urban Phoenix, AZ area) and everyone says this phone is too new for the accessories to be available. In the meantime, does anyone have any recommendations for a good belt pouch/case for this phone?

4. What's the battery life like? Again, everyone tells me the phone is too new for the extended life battery to be available.

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide.

I agree that the phone lacks some features that I'd find desirable, but I'm sure the corporate decision-makers weren't looking at the phone unit, they were looking at the bottom line per-minute rate they could get.

What's GET IT NOW?

I don't even have interenet
