LG VX-6100

So when will the 6100 be available?

I'm not sure when the phone will be available because they don't tell us until the week it comes out. All I know is that we recieved the dummy model yesterday so it will probably be pretty soon.

Thanks. Do you know if any of the accessories for the 6000 will work on the 6100? Mainly interested in the battery and data cable.

No...

The 6100 has the same "Barrel" style charging port and the same data/charge port as the 3200/7000/8000

I highly doubt that the 9900 has been discontinued. It is the best Verizon phone out this year. Look at the reviews.

You can still get it online for now but when the supply is gone then so are the phones. I have had customers calling every verizon in michigan looking for the phone and they are no longer available. I checked my listing for phones and the 9900 are "While supplies last" which means they are discontinued. Also the VX6000 is "While supplies last" but we all know that the 6100 is replacing it. The 8910 is what Audiovox is going to provide us with for now. If you don't believe me about the 9900 then call my store and just ask any rep that answers if the 9900 is discontinued or not (810-225-4789). I'm not saying that there won't be a few more that reach the stores because there might be, but trust me, they are no longer made. Its an awesome phone,...

You do know that you look like a moron, right?
You surely must be aware of how wrong you are, and at this point your best bet would be to fess up that it was just speculation on your part.

Oh and just so you know, Mr. Know it all, the 9900 is no longer listed as Out of Stock, and we can order it again.

Next time, perhaps you should check with one of the front line people instead of basing your information on a sale sign.

I am not taking either side but I don't think you should have that kind of attitude towards him. He was just trying to help as far as I can see..

and on my site, the phone is still out of stock..

You need to clear your browser's Cache... you are seeing an old image...

I did, and it is still there.

In fact, it is now Thursday and I checked again. Still there as available. I took a moment yesterday and called the 3 VZW stores closest to me, they all claim to be getting them on Friday and that the phone is NOT discontinued.

FYI, The 9900 has been Out of Stock off and on for the past 2 weeks.

In fact, I talked to a rep 2 wks ago and he offered to send me one next day delivery when it came back in stock. In 2 days, it reappeared as in stock on the web site and then it was out of stock within 2 days.

It appears that they go out as fast as they come in, so it will be Out of Stock at times. So, please don't flame people either way. It depends on the day whether it's in stock or out of stock.

No offense meant or taken. I was disputing the "Discontinued" portion of his statement. That is what I am taking issue with. And all I want, as I stated in an earlier post, is that he agrees to eat his words, and worms, if it is proven that the 9900 is NOT discontinued, but merely out of stock.

If he is so sure that it is discontinued, he should have no problem agreeing to this. Instead he is dancing around it like Paris Hilton on X.

Yes, he was. However, basing his information on a sales tag, and not bothering to dig a little deeper is part of the problem with forums like this. People take on a tidbit of information and run with it. It is half the reason people are so misinformed, and shows an attitude of just wanting to start a thread to make people think they know more than they really do.

So, if new ones come in, will you agree that you were wrong and eat worms?

If they come in my store then its probably just some loose phones just laying at my direct fulfillment center. I'm not saying that a few more won't come in... I'm just saying that the phone is discontinued so whatever is left out there then thats it. I have very few accessories in stock and like I said before, I can't order any. I am not dissing the phone in any way but I work in the customer service department and there will be some brought back just like any other phone and I am not going to be able to get and replacement parts. Thats why I recommend the 6100 because LG has the tendency to keep their phones out longer.

I'm just saying that the phone is discontinued so whatever is left out there then thats it.

Honest question: are you retarded?

You guys can think what you want, all I know is I can't order the phone or any accessories right now. You can still get it online but you can also still get the Sch-A530s online and we all know that it is discontinued. The phone is while supplies last!

I dunno Starter... every VZW person I've talked to says that the thing was simply out of stock, not discontinued.

If it were discontinued, wouldn't they pull the picture of the 9900 off of VZW website, like they did with the 530s when they were actually discontinued? They haven't. In fact, the pic doesn't even have the 'Out of Stock' text on it anymore, at least as of this writing.

I think the 9900 just sold way more than VZW or Audiovox was expecting, and that it was temporarily unavailable until Audiovox could scramble and make more units. Time will tell who's right.

That may very well be true and I hope you're right cause its a very nice phone. All I know is my Price Guides that I get through E-mail by corporate says that it is while supplies last which means that it is no longer manufactured.

I asked a VZW technical support representative on the phone yesterday about the 9900. He said that they were simply out of stock, and that as soon as the orders were replenished, they sold out almost as intantly as received. It is true, however, that Toshiba...who made the phone for Audiovox, won't be making phones for them anymore in the near future, so they didn't make too many 9900s to begin with. And because of this, they allowed Verizon to sell it at such a low price. As of yesterday evening, the warehouse had 3330 phones left, and he was sure they would sell right away.

Okay, I don't know how true this is, but some friends of mine who work for Verizon stated that the 9900 caught them (Verizon) off guard. The response was so tremendous that both Verizon and Audiovox were overwhelmed. Audiovox (Toshiba) only made a limited number of these phones. Unfortunately, the repsonse from the public was so great, their stock was depleted in record time. From what I understand, the inventory they are using to fill current back orders was supposed to be used for the upcoming holiday. Will the phone be disontinued?? I am sure at some point, Audiovox will say that's all we have. What a shame. Everyone knows that the Toshiba made phones are some of the best around. For those who wait, when supplies are truly depleted...

Is the 8910 any good? I think it's kinda bad that they released both the 9900 and the 8910 at the same time with the same price, because it's obvious which one people will go for. That said, the 8910 doesn't seem to have done well at all...compared with the rate that the 9900s were selling at. My NE2 is in a couple days, but I personally don't think I'll consider the 8910...if I have to go with a dual-mode, I'll probably go with the Samsung a670.

The 8910 is good, it's basically an 8600 w/ a camera and a little bigger. The only thing I didnt like was the keys (the whole keys, not just the numbers), they light up green like the lg vx 10 really old and cheesy looking. The display is tiny, but the phone feels REALY solid, like a tank

Starter, I am not going to keep going over whether you think the phone is discontinued or not. Obviously, most here think you have your head up your bum.

I am merely asking if you will eat your words, and worms, when and if it is proven that you are wrong.

You came on here and made a definitive statement as to what you thought was correct. I am asking that you stand by your words and do the right thing if you are proven wrong. If you won't then we will assume that you admit that you don't know what you are talking about and just wanted people to think you did.
Ball is in your court.

9900 Out of stock again on the Verizon website.

Actually, I went into my direct fulfillment center and the 9900 is available. But like I said before, once its gone then its gone. The phone is no longer made. Also when there is problems with it, which there will be because no phone is perfect, then good luck getting replacement parts.

showbiz you need to sit down calm down and shut up. there are certain things you just down know as the consumer. he's right and you'll soon find that out!!!

Starter is correct... Verizon bought the entire batch of the 9900 production... when they are gone that is it... they can not just "make some more" at the drop of a hat, or because it went over better than expected...

Just getting another production run of all the plastic parts would take months, much less all of the other unique components that have to be brought together to actually produce a phone...

There may have been a 10,000 or maybe as much as 100,000 of these phones made... but the 9900 is a SOWG product, and it was from the day of introduction...

Exactly, the phone came out in my store Oct. 1st and was already classifies as while supplies last on the same day.

Who said I was just a consumer?

Perhaps the reason I am coming down so hard on this idiot is because I know something he doesn't. You boys automatically assume that everyone here knows nothing unless they are a salesperson. There are much higher levels than salesperson, you know. Some of us actually go into an office and make a lot of money, and never once have to talk to a customer.

Starter, you are a wimp. ONCE AGAIN, will you eat your words, and worms, if you are proven incorrect? Yes or no?

Actually, there are some adults who started off in the trenches and clawed their way to the top levels. We are conceited and childish.

I am one of those. (I'm worse than my kid, and I throw temper tantrums.)

All I am asking is that he agrees to stand by his words. His failure to agree makes me believe that he does not fully believe he is correct. By simply stating that he agrees to my terms, Starter would gain credit. Since he won't, I think it is fair to say that as a sale tag person, he doesn't know half of what he claims. Disagree?

I agree to those terms. Because I know that the phone is discontinued. The phone is still available through ordering and some of the busier stores may get a few in stock but THEY ARE NO LONGER MADE!!! And for all of you that say you work for Verizon and you know all, do me a favor, e-mail Greg Haller and ask him, then you'll know whats true and whats not.

Thank you, that is all I have been asking.

Shall we say, by the end of this month we will see who is right?

You can't really base it off the end of the month because Verizon still has some of the phones. Like I said before, Discontinued means no longer manufactured not no longer available. I'll be proven right in about 2 months. Phones have a shelf life of 6 months unless the phone sells really well. So I say that the 9900 will be no longer available by the end of the year. Thats 3 months. That gives Verizon enough time to sell what they have and prove that it is no longer made.

I think I have to agree with Starter, because that is exactly what I've been told by every VZW rep I've spoken too.

Thats not what I've been told....I e mailed Verizon and asked if the 9900 was discontinued. Their response was that the phone was not discontinued. It will continue to be stocked and sold......

You're kidding right?

You are now going to say that there are enough out there to last through the end of the year WITHOUT manufacturing any more? So if they are still well available at the end of the year, that is just left overs.

No, the end of this month.

Any left overs will trickle out to the customers by then. If they still come after that, it is only because more are being made. Which they are. A LOT of them. The large response to the last sale has shown the powers that be that you can not only sell a good phone at a decent price to existing customers, but that it makes for a nice big PLUS in the Net New Adds column. More to come...

Hi, I work for vzw and ontacted who you said, this is thee reponse I got:

The 9900 has not been phased out. We are expecting a delivery the first week of November.

Supervisor Inventory-South Area

Ok, time to play teacher. DISCONTINUED means NO LONGER MADE!!!!! The phone is still available in some areas and will become available in more areas once all of the inventory is spread out. Its this simple, THE PHONE IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED BY AUDIOVOX!!! Whatever Verizon has now is all there is. I am not saying you can't get it or its a bad phone, its actually pretty nice, I'm just saying that parts are hard to come by and will be harder to get as the months go by. Its just like the 9500, good phone but I can't even get batteries for it and the same thing is going to happen to the 9900. Time will tell all.

You are an idiot. Take the challenge or not?

The 8910 seems pretty good but its to soon to tell. The 8600 was good when it came out to but now I see more of those come back than Motorola. The 8600 has reception issues, displays burn out, and low ringers. Hopefully the 8910 will be far better than the 8600.

Your direct fulfillment center must be in your garage. We are getting another shipment to our center in the West Area for about 10,000. Why would Verizon sell a phone, discontinue it after less then a month, and then not support it? There just wasn't enough made. Oh, and I do the pricing strips too and while supplies last means that at $49.99 they won't last and they haven't. Since the price has gone up since 10/11, the 9900 will be replenished. I think you need to go back to training...

just spoke to 611 and verizon store employees...no more phones are being manufactured...you're getting what's in the warehouses...and that's it.

Ok whatever you say... 😕

I got 9900 and it sucks !!! go with the 6100.

I also got a 9900 last week and will be returning it. I hope the 6100 is available before my 15 days is up.

The audio on the 9900 is horrible because of the single holed speaker you must line up perfectly with your ear or else can't hear. If you line it up its fine, but I can't stand dealing with it.

Also, the plastic on mine is creeking beyond belief when you hold it up to your face and put any pressure on it.

Don't get me wrong. Love the features of it,etc. But I couldnt go a week with it none the less 2 years. My wife got one too but she says shes ok with it so thats her call.

Is that why you gave the 9900 5 stars in your review and plan to take back your LG 3200 for a 9900 on Monday??

This equal time has now concluded. 😉

lets not turn this into a political forum... PLEASE 🙄

I wasn't the one who started it. 🙂

But yes, I don't really want to get into a long political argument that won't change anyone's mind anyway. Everybody should just get out there and vote.

I think everyone needs to stop being so nasty and maybe you guys just received different information, there is no need to be so rude to each other

Ok, you are right. This is truly not in my nature. It's just that in forums like this one, people take info and run with it. So many different sides of the story would cause a consumer studying on what to purchase would be pulling their hair out! 😳
A lot of what is said and goes in in these forums are truly biased opinions. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion, but before someone posts something, get your facts straight or you will make yourself look like an idiot. That's the reason I come to the forums. As an employee in the wireless industry, I find it entertaining to read about all of the ignorance that goes on. But once again, you are right. As I put this into perspective, it's stupid to get irritated over this. Most...
(continues)

Whoa...all the hype over this can cause confusion...I for one am no wireless employee, nor am I well versed in technical savviness...but I do know that whenever this phone does come out, I would like to compare it to the 9900. And if it's better, I'll go buy it.

You know you are right. If I pissed anyone off please forgive me...after all, it is just a cell phone. I shouldn't take my crappy day out on a lg 6100 forum. I think that it will be a better phone. I ordered the 9900 for my employee on 10/11 and probably won't see it until the end of the month because of how back ordered the warehouse is. But I am still going to get a 6100 as well. I currently have the 6000 and am a little biased towards LG. But I am giving Audiovox a chance. I haven't been too impressed with their other models so we will see when I get the 9900. Take care and happy cell phone buying 🙂

Thanks. I was luckily able to put a 9900 on hold at my local VZW store by making a phone call today and explaining that my NE2 is tomorrow. I'm going to try the 9900 out for 15 days, and if I'm satisfied then I'll definitely keep it. If not, then I'll try the 6100...with the 10/18 release date, it should be out long enough to read reviews on here and make my decision from there. Having only used LGs personally, I would have to agree that I have been very happy with LG's performance and durability (for the VX10, and the one before...can't remember the model)...but I'm going to give the 9900 a shot first and see how it holds up.

The model before the vx-10 is the tm510. that one is an oldy but a goody 🙂

"I am postive I work for Verizon. I work for a store in Michigan. I am in charge of doing the price strips in my store and my sheet said "While Supplies Last" on the first day it came out in my store which was Oct 1st."

are you sure it was the phone that was 'while supplies last,' or was it the offer?

It was the offer. There are more coming. Not sure what this guys deal is, but I AM sure that he does not know what he is talking about.

Then why did you reply??? It wasn't directed toward you LOL. You people make me laugh 🤣

Becasue I do care about information on the 6100. Why can't you just take this to the proper forum or better yet drop this whole who's right and who's wrong. I mean really get a life or a least poet some useful information.

What's with all the hate. I am just trying to keep the other people that were discussing this informed. Instead of writing to me and bitchin' for no reason, stay out of it. You weren't involved in what I was trying to accomplish. Now that I have made my point, I am done. No need to be such a prick about it.

If a thread is seriously off-topic, ppl should just use the 'report to moderator' link and let them handle it.

Just so you know, I didn't start the thread. I'm just responding to it. So report the originator of it. I was just responding to all who assume they know what's up in the wireless world.
