Plain and simple. LG VX-9800 vs. LG VX-9300...which one is better. I have until tomorrow or Saturday to make a decision. Replacing my E815....and want the best bang for my buck. I want a phone with as few flaws as possible and not sure if I can trust the 9300, considering that it just hit the market in April.

Important to me:

Visual Quality and size of Screen
Reception
Memory Allowance
Sound Quality
Battery Life
Software that's not so dammed bugged
Convenience and Easy to use/Navigate

Things I despise:

Basically the opposite of everything named, lol

Give it to me...thanks...
 
Wow, no feedback? That's a first. I thought that's what this specific forum was for? Comparisons...I'd appreciate some decent feedback or do you guys just not know anything, lol!!
 
I have never heard of the vx9300, nor did I know Verizon offered it.

If you are comparing the 9800 and 8300 that is a different story.
I know there are a lot of people who are already die-hard 8300 fans, but I really think the 9800 is a superb phone. I used one for several months and really wish that I had it back. Ultimately, it really depends on your usage. If you are mainly just going to make calls then I would go with the 8300. If you plan on texting frequently, checking/sending emails, using VZNavigator, then I would go with the 9800. If you already have a large miniSD card I would go with the 9800 again.
The only real downside to the 9800 is the size. When I had it the size didn't bother me, but it is pretty thick. The phone appears very diminutive when you have it flipped open though, and I forgave the size when it came down to usefulness and high fun-factor. If you enter a lot of details into your calendar and depend on your phone in that reguard, the keyboard will be of great use.
 
Thanks again. Yeah, I big on tech and feature savvy phones, so the 9800 will fit me just perfectly. But then again, I thought the same of the E815 and look where it got me. I mean don't get me wrong, it is a great phone, but way, way to many flaws. I mean at first I was like, every phone messes up every once and awhile, but after numero cinco, I'm like Adios mi amigo de Motorola...sad.
 
My brother has an 815 and I really like the audio quality. The build quality is a little shaky though. He has a problem where if he doesn't restart his phone every couple of days he won't get alarms and calls will go to voicemail. He won't take it back though as he doesn't mind spending 10 seconds rebooting his phone every couple of days. It's hard to go wrong with the 9800 if you are okay with the size. It's not that large though. I had a Nokia 6882 on Cingular and it was very cumbersome width wise.
