My brother has that phone and has problems with it. While he doesn't use the above mentioned, he gets inconsistent reception, even where signal is strong, the signal bounces between analog and digital alot. The volume isn't loud, even at the highest setting. He doesn't always receive calls and the phone switches to voicemail alot. And one phone was already replaced after the phone died on him. I don't remember if he has a 1 year or 2 year contract, but if he decides to stay with Verizon Wireless, he has no intention of going back to LG phones. After telling him my experience with the Samsung SCH-a650, he wishes that phone was available when he signed up for service. People I met who got the LG VX4400 told me it's garbage, Plain and Simple. It was discontinued by the time I started looking, but glad I don't have the phone.
I would like to find people with the LG vx4400. I have some issues.
text messaging and my usb data cable.
thanks!
