Ok so as of late my LG 8300 has been a huge fucking piece of shit. I’ve had this phone for months with no complaints what so ever…until last week. First it started to call people on it’s own. then the screen started to freeze. then it started to shut its self off whenever it saw fit. then it would lock its self without me knowing the password(4 hours to figure that one out) then it would with-hold(?) my texts for hours and dump them all in my in box at once. then it would vibrate like fucking insane when my in box became slightly froze. well tonite it added another new feature, not letting me delete my in box messages after it was full. fucking POS. I fixed that problem by almost snapping the phone in half and throwing it at the wall. once the phone made a collision with the wall everything has seemed to have worked okay. I want a new phone, with a full keyboard because I ONLY text unless it’s an important phone call(rarely) I’m in contract till may so I can’t get a new phone until then, and I really don’t wanna pay full price for something like an enV because I’m a bit tight on cash. Anyone have any ideas? I’m going FUCKING INSANE. Thanks -Steve. (P.S. I already PM’d evolve, Hopefully he’ll respond tomorrow.) ---

I love how it worked flawlessly and in less than 2 weeks the fucker went down the shitter. I’m going to the verizon store tomorrow to get a new phone.

I just dont understand how they could afford to be giving people phones all the time. They have to be cheap as hell… Most of the people i know who constantly texting people and whatnot go through a phone a month. And they always get them for free… ---

I text like it’s my fucking job. I miss my blackberry(which i paid for lol) but it got to be too expensive. I really do need a new phone for real this time though. ---

iv got the vx9800, its the model before the envy and its great. iv dropped this phone numerous times and it stills works great. i received it by trading in my new chocolate that was sent to me when my old one shit the bed and a wireless internet card that i bought from verizon a while back. you should have verizon send you a new one in the mail then take it to a verizon store, such as evolves and maybe he can work a deal for you, if hes got some extra phones laying around. ---

yeah if you call verizon and tell them ur phone stopped working, they will just send you a new one. you will have it within a week, then you just send your old one back in the same box. take your new one in and hopefully they will have a phone you can trade in on. i went to the ea dealer(not evolves store) just cuz hes a private and smaller verizon dealer. im not so sure it was legal what we did, but who cares i got a sweet phone. lol ---

Yea just look for a u740. I had one for a while and it was great. You can get insurance on any phone just call verizon and ask them to add it to your plan. ---

i just sold my u740 and all the extras for a rediculously cheap price. i pmed you back. i think some of you just have a bad touch with electronics because the 8300 was a stellar phone. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-cant-stand-my-phone-anymore-verizon/40871.md?page=2)
