Lg 8100

I hav the Motorola V265, and I want to run over it with my car. It really is trash.

I was looking into phones tonight, and seen the LG 8100. With the Spark 25 bundel, I can get Telus TV and XM Satelite Radio. I was also thinking of getting that with the Super Talk 20.

I just have some questions though: does anyone know if the phone's ear piece quality was improved any? The camera's quality improved? Any random rebooting? I've read a bunch of reviews, but most of them were anti-Verizon people (no mp3 player software.. heh). Is this phone worth $100 for a 2 year plan? If not, anyone have any recommendations for a TV/radio phone?

Thanks!

I work at a small Telus dealer, and with the 8100 I've found quality-wise it's hit and miss. Some work great, but plenty come back with software problems/power issues. People who do get a good phone seem to like it, and there's always the 30-day direct exchange policy in case of a defect. However, we've had much better luck with the Samsung a950, which function-wise, is essentially the same phone. The main differences are the Samsung comes with a 32MB MicroSD card (LG uses MiniSD and doesn't come with any), has a scroll wheel on the outside of the phone, and has an internal antenna. As for headsets, they both come with them, but I'm not sure how the quality is. If it's unsatisfactory, you can always get an adapter to make regular headphones fit the phone's plug-in.
