😛 Well after a month of convincing Verizon that I really wanted the LG VX4600 I finally received it a couple of days ago. However, this phone seems to be very durable and I like it because it is so much like my LG VX4400.

Its a phone for new customers, or if you bother the verizon rep. long enough they will let you buy it only if you call. You can also find the phone in Non-Verizon stores (ex. Radio Shack)

Hi skaras....I was able to order my phone thru the Wireless Zone in NH. They ship to their location. I dealt with Andrea and she was very helpful. She is also charging the same price as on VerizonWireless.com where other retailers, if they have them, are charging about $20.00 more. I'm not sure if you are near NH, but good luck in your quest!!
...
Thanks, I'm in upstate NY and although there may be more than one, I have spoken to an Andrea as well.
Maybe I will keep trying

I wonder if it is a location thing that is causing your problems skaras. I called the telesales number and never had anyone tell me it would be a problem to get a 4600. I am in the Mid-west. In fact, due to order processing problems, they sent me two 4600's.
And to make you feel even worse, I was even able to set it up with the sales rep I dealt with so that my Mother-in-law now has a 4600 as well. 😁
...
Well I'm very happy for all of you that have gotten this phone, but you did make me feel worse!! I tried again an hour ago with the same results. They tell me that the phone doesn't come up on there systems so even if they wanted to help me they can't.
They tell me I can get the VX6000 free with the new every two but I can't, nor do I want a camera phone. And before everybody start with the "well just don't use it etc." let me explain I work in military electronics, and you can't take a camera phone into any of these facilities.
I'll have to wait till the 28th (new sales date) and see what, if anything, they come out with.
...
It took me two weeks, but I just got the 4600. I tried getting the phone via telesales as an upgrade, but had no luck. One person agreed to ship it out, but I got a phone call the next day saying they couldn't do it.
I finally just ordered the phone on-line and told them it was for a new line of service. They even called me before they shipped it to make sure that it was for a new line of service and not for an upgrade. I lied and told them of course it was for a new line of service.
When the phone arrived yesterday, I called customer service and they canceled the new line and transferred over my existing phone number. They also were able to credit my account for the difference between full retail and the promotional price. In ...

Well I gave up on the 4600 but I spoke with a GREAT!!! CS person this afternoon. She said she felt bad about not helping me get the 4600. She put me on hold for a minute and came and said "what about the VX6000?" It's the same but has the camera. I told her I thought about it befoe the 4600 came out but didn't need the cam and didn't want to pay more that the NE2 100 bucks. Back on hold for 1 minute and when she came back she set it up so I got the VX6000 -- FREE !! no money out of my pocket!
I love this phone!!!
...
In your last post you said that you can't get a VX6000 because you work in military electronics. But now you're estactic about getting it?
...
Your correct!! the phone is great for all the reasons I wanted ex. Display that's readable.
Bad news is I have to leave it at the guards desk or in the car at select accounts.
Can't talk on the phone while conducting biz anyway.
Obviously there is give and take in all we do and I don't find this a big sacrifice after all in the overall scheme of things.
Best Regards!!

😛 thats the same thing they tried to pull on me at first after quizzing me about why i wanted the 4600 the rep said i can get you the 6000 for free" i think they are just attempting to get rid of the stock of 6000 phones. but the 6000 is a good phone. it looks like its the 4600 just with a camera. i just really didnt want a toy camera on my phone.
but when the 5megapixel units start coming out, that'll be a different story. i sure it'll be a battle to get one 🤣
