just bought vx-8000

I just bought a vx 8000 yesterday. I was wanting to see what other's
opinions are of this phone. How is it signal wise and how long is the
battery life? Is there a way to put a card in it to capture more video or
pictures? I know verizon is coming to my area this year (right now uses
alltel as extended network). How hard is it to switch numbers when the local
calling prefix (304-479) becomes available?
thanks

I like mine a lot. I think it's the best phone you can get from VZW at this
time.

How is it signal wise

Okay. I would consider it solid but not one of the very best. Of course, I
believe it probably is the best of the all digital lineup. And soon it
appears about everything at VZW will be all digital.

> and how long is the battery life?

I bought the extended life battery right away. All I can say is I never run
low on battery no matter how much I talk, it seems. I'm sure there is a
limit, but the extended batter will go one hellova long time.

> Is there a way to put a card in it to capture more video or pictures?

No. However, using BitPim you can download your pics to your computer for
free and keep on taking 'em!

No idea. But I think you answer to this would have to come from VZW itself.
