Re: Verizon V710 Settlement



Same for me as well. They never told me anything. I had the bad echo so I
took my 815 back and they acted as "We never heard of that problem before"
Yeah right. Called Motorola and they admitted there is a problem. They also
told me they don't know if it can be fixed or not.

I took it back and got the LG 8100 Which is also a crip. But no echo. A few
other things bugged me as well with the 815...
The charger port, The flip being week to the point that it would close with
the slightest movement. The voice part in the 815 blows away the 8100LG but
that dam echo was the deal killer.

Now looking at the 8100 I'm glad I went with it. I like it better then the
815 but I never got around to trying out much.
