Phone recommendation

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Hello,

I'm looking to replace my LG VX4400, and am hoping to get some
first-hand recommendations. I'm happy with the VX4400 except for its
ringer volume -- even the low setting is so loud that when it rings
inside my cube, everyone within 500 feet can hear it. I originally
bought it because I used to store my phone in my pocket all the time
so a loud ringer was important, but now that I'm past that stage the
lack of a true "low ring" setting on this one is annoying myself and
no doubt some co-workers.

So I'm looking for something with a quieter setting (but with the
ability to ring loud as well), but otherwise pretty much like the
VX4400 -- fairly small, color screen, no fancy features, etc.

Any advice will be welcome.

Thanks,
James

The LG 6100, due out in mass in a couple of weeks, is reported to be
like the 4400, only better. Better screen, small and trimode as well.
Might be worth a look. The only worrisome change is a fixed stub
antenna, which on every other Verizon phone tends to reduce the fringe
signal performance.
