I want to replace my less than satisfactory LG VX4600 with a new phone.
I have narrowed my choices down to the Moto E815 and the LG VX7000. I
really need a phone that holds a weak signal, foremost, and has good
audio and loud ringers. I don't need cameras, Bluetooth, or VCAST.
Which one of these would be better for me?
Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)
The E815 has outstanding reception and sound quality. Digital only. It feels
really big, though, but I guess that can be gotten used to.
Seems much bigger in my hand than my V710 did.

How is the battery life?
I read that it is in the same league as my Samsung a610 (meaning the best
battery life of all competition).
I've had my a610 for over a year, just renewed for an additional 2 years
without upgrading my phone because my phone is THAT good and I get more
minutes from the new plan.
Does your E815 have an integrated calendar that can be set as an active
wallpaper - meaning that when you flip open the phone, you see your calendar
with appointments highlighted?
That's a feature that has me hooked on my a610 - plus it's intelligent voice
activated dialing is many times better than my previous Motorola V60i - no
comparison!

I had to make the choice as well... my Motorola e815 gets 2 bars when
hubby's Samsung (trimode even) gets 'no service' (the perils of living
in the boonies).
The deciding factor was exactly that - Motorola's reputation on signal
strength - I did the research, went to my store, explained the
situation - the gentleman there held up the Moto and the LG to see what
happened? Moto=4 bars, LG=2 or 3.... he ordered an e815 for himself.

NO! NO! NO! You just gave away big bucks!
Do this: Get the hottest new phone you can for free. You have a $100
credit to use, and often you can get a $50 rebate too.
VZW will make you activate it. But if you then call them the next day and
tell them you decided that you like your old phone better after all,
you're OK. They will switch you back. Or tell them that you broke the
new phone, or lost it, or whatever. It makes no difference to them.
Then sell your brand new, hot valuable phone on eBay for a couple of
hundred bucks or more.

You're trying to compare apples and oranges..There is no regulated "bar
strength" formular, that is set that every cellphone manfacturer in the
world must follow, unlike the speedometer on your car, or the weight of a
pound or ounce.
Phone A might show 1 bar
Phone B might show 3 bars side by side
No way of judging which phone has better reception

I have the E815 and love the independent voicedialing and the ability to
hold calls. Don't know if you're familier with the Philly/Atlantic City
area, but it held a call from Philly to AC without a drop, all 68 miles.

Battery life very good. Much better than most current offerings. No, you
cannot make your calendar the wallpaper. That is a Samsung strongpoint. But
as pointed out elsewhere, no analog.

I live closer to NYC than AC (90 miles to NYC, about 100+ miles to AC), but
I will add that I have held a call from NYC to my small town, which is just
outside of Philly without a drop - in fact, I've had conversation going
through the Lincoln Tunnel with a strong signal on my Samsung a610.

The standard battery for the 815 is 50% larger capacity than the one for
the 710; that could be a big part of the heftiness.

HELP!! I am racking my brain here...trying to figure out which phone to
get. A Razr V3 (black) or an E815....Can anybody out there help me make
up my mind...I am very tempted to try the Razr V3 Black only because if
I don't like it, I have 30 days to return it and walk away from the
whole deal....E815 on the other hand, Verizon, I only get 15 days to
try it....What phone is better. I do love the look of the razr...but I

First, calm down. They're just phones.
The motorl a RAZR is a good phone, I tried it for a while. It is
surprisingly sturdy, very small and light, and does an admirable job of
pulling in weak signals.
The phone has its drawbacks though. The first is that it only does
GPRS, which is basically dialup-speed data, and does not do EDGE (which
is relatively high speed data, though Verizon's EV-DO is still faster).
Second, if you want a headset, you are FORCED to buy a bluetooth
headset. Every other bluetooth phone I've seen also supports a
traditional plug in headset, and there are certainly reasons why someone
would pick a standard headset over bluetooth (price being one factor,
the other is that bluetooth headsets can sometimes "crackle" annoyingly
in the presence of WiFi hotspots). You have no choice on the matter
with the RAZR. Most imp
