Recieved my phone this morning! AWESOME! I won't post a full review until I've had time to use it more, but my first impressions are excellent! It's just so different than any other phone out there! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!
...
hey Mary, when did you order yours? I ordered mine on sunday at midnight. I am just trying to figuere out when it is coming. I checked this morning and it said order was processed but didn't look like they even shipped it yet? Dammit I want it now đ¤Ŗ
...
I didn't think I could order from CS yet, only online, but wanted to call first just to see since overnight shipping isn't an option on online orders, so I called them first thing Monday morning and they said they could indeed order it for me, so I had it overnighted and recieved it this morning about 10a.m.
...
then you have to mail the rebate in then...Right? I guess I will just waite a couple more days âšī¸
...
Yes, that is correct. The instant savings is only online.
...
Mary,
How many phones do you have? I thought you had the LG 8100, then you said you got the LG8300, now you have the LG8500! Since this is a chocolate phone, when LG comes out with another new phone, are you going to put the phone in the blender and make cookies out of it đ

Well, I am a PhoneAholic, so anytime something new and exciting comes out I just have to get it! If I like it, I sell my other one on ebay and end up recouping the cost and sometimes even making a profit.
...
So does this mean I won't see you on the 8300 forum anymore đĸ
...
Oh, I'll be there too! đ

Mary, how do you keep getting new phones? I am under a 2 year with my 8300, and I'd prefer the chocolate. Anything that I can do to get it besides paying full retail price?
...
You can get a new phone every year at the discount price (not new every two price) if you have a plan above $50/ month. Or at least that is how I did it in the past. I can upgrade every year and my plan is $100 a month. đ
...
Me too. It's the Merit's program. I can upgrade once a year, but I still buy phones more often than that, just at full retail.
...
I pay full retail, usually. I then sell my "old" phone on ebay to recoupe the cost and sometimes even make a profit since my "old" phone is never old and still worth a lot.

whats the full retail of the chocolate? And how much do you think I can get for a mint condition lg vx8300?
...
Full retail for the Chocolate is $359.99. The average sale price for the 8300 on ebay right now is just under $200.00. I don't think the 8300 was as big of a hit as Verizon and a lot of users thought it would be and since it started off so cheap in the first place, there are a lot on ebay right now and it might make it a little tougher to sell, but it should sell.

dang. So even if I sale it for as much as $200, I still gotta pay another $160 plus tax...ouch! what do u think of your chocolate so far? I got a chance to use one at a store today, and will be getting it sometime soon for my wife, because her line is eligible. I just wish I had waited now. Only thing that bugs me is the lack of a speakerphone.
...
I'm really liking it. I like that it is different than any other phone I've had. It's a nice change. Lack of speakerphone is no biggie to me because I never used speakerphone when I had it. I use a BT headset 90% of the time. If your wife appreciates cell phones even half as much as I do, I know she would LOVE it.
...
Let us know how the Bluetooth headset works on this phone Mary. Apparently that is a big problem with the 8300.
