LG 410G Flip Phone (TracFone) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like many people out there, it seems, I was looking for a successor to one of TracFone's most common phones, the monochrome Nokia 1100. TracFone's lineup has diversified somewhat over the last few years, with phones that range from the minimal Motorola W260g Prepaid Phone (Tracfone) to the robust Samsung T301G Prepaid Phone (Tracfone).
The LG 410 is closer to the lower end of TracFones than the higher end. There is no Bluetooth, no camera, only one built-in game, and no apparent way to add any more. TracFone's data service is 2G, runs about as fast as yesteryears 56K modem, and is limited to a few TracFone sites -- no web surfing here. Of course, people don't buy TracFones for exotic features; there are plenty of other cell companies that offer smartphones and broadband data plans. People instead buy TracFones because they are one of the only cell phone plans available for under ten dollars a month. TracFone is a dirt cheap option for people who only need cell phones once in a while, and for those looking for a basic phone to get the job done the LG 410 is a solid, affordable option.
Owners of older TracFones will be pleased to know that this is certainly a less embarassing phone to carry around than some of TracFone's older models. It's compact, sleek, and has a nice, bright color screen. All the basics for making phone calls, like address books and speakerphone capabilities are here. Calls sound good and the phone has good range. Just as importantly for infrequent TracFone users, the phone holds a charge for a long time. One small but appreciated feature is the phone's external display, which shows time, battery charge, and signal strength when the phone is in its clamshell position. The only serious nitpick I saw specific to this phone was the rather flat button surface, which makes this a less-than-ideal choice for texting. Given the clamshell design, though, this may be unavoidable.
Overall, this is a pretty solid phone, especially for the price, which is about fifteen bucks at the time of this review. Some retailers currently have a bundle for that same price that also throws in a car charger, a hands-free microphone and ear bud, and double minutes for life. Even without the bundle, current TracFone users who transfer their minutes to this phone will get an extra two months to their service, which essentially makes this phone a free upgrade. If you're an occasional cell phone user who just wants a reliable phone to make calls every once in awhile -- and who doesn't care about Bluetooth or other bells and whistles -- this is a great option.

HTC P4550 TYTN II Unlocked PDA Smartphone with 3 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--International Version with No Warranty (Gray) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review won't be the highly technical sort that you might read on Amazon and other sites. This will be pretty simple and straight forward.
This is a nice phone. It does anything and everything you could imagine a cell phone could do...and then some. As an avid user of a Treo (Palm) for years, I was ready for a new handset, and my new job required a Windows Mobile platform. After quite a bit of study, I made the switch to the HTC TyTN II...with no regrets thus far.
The description will give more detail than I could ever give, so suffice it let me highlight a few things:
1> Is a great PHONE. So many of these PDA phones forget what they are first and foremost. While I really liked the form and function of the Palm OS on my Treo, it left a lot to be desired in it's ability to catch and hold a signal. This TyTN II does that really well. Perhaps it's a bit of a carrier issue too, but I've had very few dropped calls in the 2 weeks I've had it.
2> The internal GPS works really well. If you're all about reducing the number of "things" that you carry with you, you've now got a very capable GPS strapped to your belt. Is it as feature rich as a stand-alone GPS? Probably not, but I downloaded the TomTom 6 maps of the US and Canada and it works great.
3> It has a cool feature that lets you take a photo of a business card, and then export that to your contact list with fields populated. Kinda cool and works pretty well.
I recommend this phone highly. It's a few bucks, but if you rely on your phone as a business tool like I do, it's worth the money.

Nokia E90 Communicator Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Media Player, and MicroSD Slot--International Version with Warranty (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This phone is truly wonderful! I went through several Nokia cell phones and this one is the best one of them! I had the Nokia N81 which is Great! yet I was always troubled with writing my messeges or the websites addresses...etc. Therefore, I started fishing for a devise with a seperate Keypad that enables me to write freeely with no need to press the same key more than once and consume my time hence. This was the ONE!! it is not only easier to write but faster. I like the backlight that lets me seed my through the dark nights. I don't deny that I think I will be missing the 8 GB Nokia N81 however the 2 GB memory card saves enough and I keep downloading everything almost once a month on my computer. the software is Awesome. It is so easily conducted and teaches you step by step what to do. One feature that I truly love is the wireless network detection. I 've been in several places with wireless networks and the device was incredible not to mention it was able to download and open attachments I wasn't able to see in N81. So this one wins. I am still exploring it I've just owned it. However I am growing to like better and better. it is worth it :)

LG VX9400 Phone (Verizon Wireless) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Reception
Excellent - one of the better phones for reception that I have had.
Speaker Phone
Good quality speaker phone and very simple to activate. Actually, have to be careful if holding the phone can accidentally activate the speaker phone very easily.
Texting
Texting is pretty simple but does take some getting used to. The clear button is on the bottom of the key pad area versus on top in most phones. Nothing a little practice can't overcome.
Battery Life
The standard battery is 2-3 days depending upon usage. I just received my extended battery and expect much better results.
Overall Design
I like it. I am a big fan of the flip phone. This design is a little nicer since you can just push the phone to the left. The only issue I could potentially see is if you are left handed. The way the phone is designed, it works best for right handers.
Update 4/25/07
One thing I just accidentally found out is that the phone has an antenna. Shows you how observant I was when I bought it!!
Overall still very pleased with the phone. My wife especially likes it because the font is larger.
Update 5/28/07
I would still rate this phone 5 stars however, last week I purchased the new Blackberry 8830. I am the type of person who likes a phone that can do pretty much everything and the 8830 fits my needs (push email, games, stable, nice form factor, etc. See my review whenever they decide to post a 8830 on amazon).
The 9400 is a good phone, excellent reception/talk time with extended battery and very good wow factor but the rotation is pretty much just a gimick. From a practicality standpoint it isn't the greatest form. Here is why. 1. The phone is really built for right handers. 2. To call someone you have to rotate the screen, dial and then flip it back. If you don't, you end up holding the phone at an awkward angle so that the speaker can be near your ear. Is this a big deal for me? No because I mainly use bluetooth headsets. That is why I left the rating at a 5.

Motorola W220 Unlocked Phone with FM Radio, WAP2.0, MMS, SMS and NSM, Games--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would like to have the option of reviewing this product but unfortunately the vendor (Kusho) you purchase the product from has been giving me the run around.
1. The BLACK phone I wanted to purchase, I am told had some quality issues and that they would give it to me in pink, I am a male. They gave me an option to get another phone but the phones were not of the same quality.
2. They sent me an e-mail which I replied to and said OK, because my phone died and I needed one right away. After waiting a week I called them back and they said I never replied. So the person at Kusho had to look into it. And the day's go by.

MOTOROLA W376G Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this Motorola Trac Fone for about 6 months and have been very pleased. It has excellent reception and sound quality. The built in speaker phone is also very good. The camera is just so-so, but that's not why I bought the phone.
I like buying my minutes only as I need them and you just have to purchase more within 90 days. When you purchase more, it just adds them to your current balance. If you don't purchase within the 90 day limit (a countdown is always visible on the screen) the phone shuts off and you lose whatever minutes you had. You can reactivate just by purchasing more minutes but you don't regain any you lost by not purchasing within the 90 day limit. You can purchase minutes on line at Tracfone or set up your phone to purchase. Your minute balance is also always on the screen. Mine came with 15 minutes to get me started. You can activate at the Tracfone web site and set up an account to buy more minutes. You can also call from the phone to activate and set up an account to purchase minutes that way.
Good things:
-Inexpensive to purchase (less than $30)
-Reasonable rates. I'm paying about 10 cents per minute
-Automatically doubles minutes for life of phone (buy 60 get 120)
-If you lose it, buy another, call Tracfone operator to transfer your number and minutes
-Bright clear screen
-Good sound quality
-Good reception
-Good number of ring tones and images to select from
-AC Charger is included
-FM radio included (earphone not included and it takes a micro plug, not a mini)
-Basic games included
-Internet access (but slow)
-Periodic email offers from Tracfone for discounted minutes (which double)
-Monthly plans if you want them
-Good battery life (I do not use the phone often so 1 charge will last several days)
-Minutes never expire as long as you renew within 90 days
-No contracts or agreements. Tired of it? Toss it.
-Sim chip, you can move to another phone and keep your address book
-Settings for indoor/outdoor ring
Bad things:
-No holster/case (buy one at Target)
-Somewhat larger in size and a little heavier than most cells
-Ring tones downloaded only from Tracfone site
-Cannot connect to PC/laptop (port is only for charging)
-Buttons take some getting used to, like the menus
-You pay for everything, no free or unlimited (3 text messages = 1 minute)
-You will receive free advertising from Tracfone but occasional advertising from others, if you accept the message, you get charged for it. (charge is about 1 text message)
-Charging port and earphone port (opposite sides of the phone) are difficult to open. I can't quite get my fingernail under it so I have to use a small pen knife
I'm very pleased with the phone and service. I dropped my other service and have been happy not to be billed every month for minutes I didn't use. I'm not a strong user of cell phones so it fits my life style. I have service wherever I travel, including remote areas. Your carrier will depend on your part of the country. We have AT&T here.
I may buy another for my wife who doesn't like cell phones but I'll feel better knowing she can call if she needs to. I can buy 60 minutes (120) for $20 and she's good for 90 days. When it gets close I'll just order the minimum again.

Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite Unlocked Phone with Quad-Band GSM, 3 MP Camera MP3/Video Player and MicroSD Slot--International Version with Warranty (Black Gold) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cell phone is hard to find in US and is exactly what I was looking for. It has all the features I needed, it looks astonishing, it works flawlessly and most importantly it works with a T-Mobile prepaid card which is the best deal for me (I recharge my prepaid card with $50 every 4-5 months) compared to $70/month for an iphone. So I only pay whenever I use it, instead of paying huge amounts of money monthly like most people in US do.
I assume this cell phone is kept hidden to the US market by the wireless carriers as it is obviously a lose-lose for them ... and also a potential iPhone killer...
I am very happy with this purchase, I would recommend it to anyone.
Be smart!
Don't pay for something that you'll never need or use!

LG CG225 UNLOCKED Quad-Band GSM Cellphone with Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Thanks to Ken at HassleFreeCell for helping me pick the LG CG225. My original order was for the purchase of the Nokia 6030. Since I wasn't getting my network signal with my new Nokia 6030, Ken suggested that I purchased the LG CG225. I am very happy with his recommendation of the Lg Cg225. This QUADBAND GSM is a powerful little phone. I love the built-in VGA camera, the speaker phone, the phone's features, and the brightness of the display screen. The battery has to be charged more often as you use the built-in VGA camera.

Motorola RAZR V3 Unlocked Phone with Camera, and Video Player--International Version with No Warranty (Gun Metal Gray) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought two of these cells to replace T-Mobile's Shadow phone, which while it had great options, ate batteries to the point that we never used them. The Motorola set up for us with no problems. We inserted our sim cards and we were good to go. We've had the phones for about 3 months now and have had no problems. A charged battery lasts sometimes up to 4 days. Texting is easy and the screen and keypad work well for people who need glasses. It goes online easily and quickly and games download with no problems. Maybe we've been lucky, but so far this phone has out performed the Shadow hands down!

lg voyager vx10000 titanium Cell phone for Verizon Wireless with No Contract - Refurbished in Brand New Housing and 30 Day Seller's Warranty Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Never do business with The OEM Shop. Phone was originally advertised as "new". Received two days before the estimated ship date which I thought was great but then the problems began. 1st, I opened the generic package and realized that the phone was refurbished. It was such a good price that I overlooked the refurbished condition. 2nd, tried to activate the phone with Verizon Wireless and representative told me that the phone could not be activated because the MEID was tied to another cell phone number. 3rd, left several messages at the telephone number listed on the packing slip-never got a return call. 4th, emailed The OEM Shop at least 5 times and no response. Only got an email back after I put in a claim through Amazon. The OEM shop did not want to issue me a RMA number to return the phone. Went back in forth about the numbers in the battery compartment until I guess they realized that they couldn't leave me with a cell phone that could not be activated. They have horrible customer service. DON'T DEAL WITH ANY COMPANY THAT INSISTS ON A RMA NUMBER BEFORE ACCEPTING A RETURN!!!!

LG CU400 - Cellular phone - 3G - WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM - folder (flip) - black - AT&T Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this phone as a christmas gift, and, aside from the battery issue my first one had, this is an absolutely terrific and easy to use phone. the keypad is the best i have seen on any phone, and the size of the screen is perfect. I had my previous phone, a samsung x4217 or whatever it was, for well over 4 years, and i had just about had it with that phone, so pretty much anything was an upgrade. All i wanted from my new phone was a screen on the outside to show the time, and a camera that i could quickly pull out and snap a quick pic of something, and this has both. this phone also has a video camera, which is a great extra feature. the outside screen doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles, it just shows the time and whatever symbols you have at the top of the interior screen. this phone has great sound quality, and the speaker phone works like a champ. the ringer is nice and loud, and being able to use the bluetooth to send sound files to my phone, instead of downloading tones from cingular for an arm and a leg, is another great bonus. We also signed up for the multimedia package, which nets you unlimited internet and Cingular Video access. Cingular Video is great for espn mobile and cnn quickies, along with funny shorts from shows like letterman, family guy, and the brak show.
at the end of the day this is just a phone, and it does everything that a phone should do, ie. not drop calls and it has great sound quality. it doesn't do any particular added bonus that great, but it does all of them well, and that's how it should be. if you are looking for an inexpensive phone with a lot of well-rounded features, this is by far the one to get.

If you're looking for superior multimedia capability wherever you go, and don't want to take out a second mortgage, look no further than the LG CU400. Loaded all the latest cell phone technology, this quad-band world phone with domestic UMTS capabilities will allow you to download data at speeds only dreamed of before. In fact, because the CU400 supports the UMTS protocol for high-speed data transfer, you'll be able to stream TV, video, and more, straight to the CU400.
Other key features include Bluetooth technology, Cingular Push to Talk compatibility, and a 1.3 megapixel camera. Packaged in a stylish clamshell design, the CU400 phone is the ultimate multimedia device, and the perfect complement to Cingular Wireless service.
Design The CU400 design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with its impressive media and data capabilities while maintaining a stylish exterior. A large 176 x 220 color display with over 65,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 64 full-color display that can display pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. A 1.3 megapixel camera lens is housed above the external display, while most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad. Lastly, the right side of the phone houses the Push to Talk button, as well as up/down volume controls.
Calling Features The CU400's internal phone book can hold up to 500 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones, and comes stock with 10 unique ringtones built right into the unit, while more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular Wireless' MEdia Net service. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert, and a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Meanwhile, voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names.
Because the CU400 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.
The CU400 is fully compatible with Cingular's latest Push to Talk technology, a feature that allows you to place calls with the simple touch of a button (Cingular Push to Talk charges apply). Cingular's Push to Talk feature lets you see whether family, friends, and coworkers are available to talk before you call, while the feature also lets you place a call individually, or call everyone at once via group call. Need to stay hands free? The unit's Push to Talk feature is fully compatible with your favorite Bluetooth headset.
Messaging, Internet and Tools The CU400 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. With UMTS and HSDPA support built right into the phone, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. Used in combination with one of Cingular's MEdia Max plans that supports Cingular Video (additional Cingular charges apply), the CU400 will allow you to play high-quality news clips, sports clips, weather clips, and more--right on your phone. And with Cingular's exclusive partnership with HBO Mobile and HBO Family Mobile, you'll never be at a loss for something good to watch.
Into sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, and sound and video via messages? When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video cameras, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is also supported via AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and ICQ (Cingular messaging charges apply). There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular's MEdia Net service lets you do more than just stream videos--it lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
Getting on the Internet is easy with the CU400. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. And as an added convenience, voice and data features can be used simultaneously--so you'll never have to worry about missing that important call.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the CU400 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with a unit conversion feature, a calendar and an alarm clock. The CU400 will also allow you to upgrade the phone's software over the air without ever having to plug the phone into anything.
Imaging and Entertainment The CU400 features support for Java based games and applications, so you'll never be at a loss for something fun to do. And because the phone supports MobiRadio, in addition to streaming video and TV, you can listen to your favorite radio station via the supported digital radio service--great for times when you feel like listening to new music (additional Cingular charges apply).
The phone's 1.3 megapixel camera features a 4x zoom, image quality options, a camcorder mode, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or email, or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The CU400 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy.
Lastly, the CU400 sports an airplane mode feature, which allows you to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.
UMTS Wireless Broadband Coverage Learn More about where UMTS coverage is offered.

Warning: If you want to enjoy the full audio and video capabilities of your UMTS phone, please select a MEdia Max service plan option during checkout.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini E10i Unlocked Smartphone with 5 MP Camera, Android OS, gps navigation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth--International Version with Warranty (Pearl White/Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my first smartphone. The apps of the android system are great, but if you download many of them your system is likely to crash a lot. The touchscreen may be cool at first, but sometimes simple tasks such as dialing or saving a number may become annoying, especially if the system gets slower and slower due to apps. The battery life is not too good. I have to recharge the phone daily even if I didn't make a long phone call. I am satisfied with the camera, which produces very good photos in my opinion. What makes this phone great is its size, look and the camera. Although the size makes this phone pretty handy, the touchscreen and the system may not be very convenient especially for basic usage such as phone calls and sms. All in all, I still like it but I think I should have bought the version with integrated keypad.

Motorola Clutch i465 for Boost Mobile - Graphite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually go the phone through Boostmobile, not Amazon. It takes forever to load websites. Thankfully, I didn't get it for going online.
The other features are great, though. I love the keypad, and the camera on it takes very good pictures.
Note on the packaging though,if you buy it brand new as I did... BEWARE, you practically need a chainsaw to cut open the plastic that the phone is packaged in, as it is very thick. Much more so than the plastic that most things are packaged in. Regular scissors won't work, I had to saw and pry it out with a huge, serrated steak knife.

Motorola W370 Prepaid Phone (Tracfone) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone as soon as it hit store shelves, I had read about it on Tracfone's website, and wanted it as an upgrade for my old Motorola C139 Tracfone.
After having it setup, I loved it! It was a huge upgrade from the C139 with it's MP3 ringtones, sleak flip phone design, (looks alot like the Moto KRZR, I call it the TRZR) high resolution display, and mobile web browsing!
However, as much as I like this phone, it's not without it's issues...
Since I had just switched my service over from an older Tracfone, I couldn't access the web browser. Whenever I tried, I got a message saying, "There was a problem authorizing your account, please contact Tracfone customer service at, 1-800 ***-****" Getting my web browser functioning after that point was a huge headache... Tracfone's customer service representitives, while very nice and eager to help, are often not quite up-to-date with Tracfone's newest features, and some of them don't speak English very well... It took me 2 phone calls, (because the first time I got someone who had no clue what I was talking about) and the second time around I spent most of the afternoon on the phone until the problem was resolved.
Now the web browser is up and running, but I have a complaint about that as well... The so-called "Web Browser" can only access Tracfone's website at this time... Sure, you can still use it to download ringtones & graphics, read the news, check the weather forecast, etc, but when they say "Web Browser" I was expecting something more along the lines of what the other wireless phone companies have... Granted that their web browser function is a relatively new addition to Tracfone's wireless service, but I hope that they'll expand it, and soon!
Also, my particular W370 Tracfone has a weak 5 button that is not very responsive, and it'll sometimes unexpectedly turn itself off while I'm typing a text message, but that's just mine... I do have a 1 year replacement plan on my phone, but after the headache I went through to get the web browser up and running, I've decided to wait until either the last minute or the phone breaks completely (whatever comes first) to replace it.
Overall, this is a very nice cell phone, great as an upgrade or replacement for an older phone, but if you are upgrading from an older Tracfone that didn't include a web browser function, be prepared for some difficulty...
Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars
UPDATE 5/3/08 I finally used the replacement plan to get a new W370 Tracfone, this new one's 5 button works just fine and the phone doesn't turn itself off like my old one did either. Even after all this time, the Web Browser remains unchanged... Disappointing, but at least I didn't have to call tracfone to get it set up like last time.

(More customer reviews)After my dreadful V551, I was hesitant to return to Motorola. Since my Sony Ericsson S710a didn't work out, and since my wife's V3 has been solid so far, I decided to give Moto one more chance with the V3i.
First, the build quality and materials are EXCELLENT. The machined aluminum outer casing, and machined nickel keypad, provide substantial heft (this is good) and tactility. Moto could've used a little better plastic in places, but it's fine otherwise.
Second, although its resolution is lower than the S710a's, the V3i inner display's physical screen size is about the same. Meaning it's plenty large, not to mention clear, colorful, and bright. The outer display is nothing special, but it is a compromise for better battery life, so I can live with that.
Third, unlike Sony Ericsson, the new Moto's (V3i, SLVR L7, etc.) sport an industry-standard mini-USB charging/data port, and use standard memory cards. (I put a 1GB TransFlash in mine and it is amazing.) No more proprietary chargers and cables, nor goofy Sony-only "Memory Sticks."
Fourth, the Bluetooth. Motorola has come a long way to improve their implementation, and though it is not as full featured as Sony Ericsson's, it is almost unshakable in its stability. (Sony Ericsson has the reverse trend. The T616 had great Bluetooth, the S710a's was unstable. The new W600 and W900 are equally unstable.) Range is excellent, too.
Fifth, reception and call quality are both excellent. Volume could be better, but is still adequate. I have to admit, though, that the S710a was slightly better with earpiece and speakerphone audio volume and quality.
Finally, the much maligned UI. Yes, Sony Ericsson trumps everyone with their interface and Address Book; Motorola executes both of these rather clumsily, thus requiring a steep learning curve. However, two areas where Moto outshines Sony Ericsson are 1) consistent UI responsiveness and 2) broad customizability.
My only other gripe is the 50 song limit in iTunes, even with the memory card upgrade. However, I'm an iPod owner, so this doesn't concern me too much.
Now for a word of warning to Mac users. My iTunes-equipped V3i, unlocked and unbranded, came from an overseas market (phone and manual languages included UK English, Vietnamese, Bhasat, and Thai). It has full Bluetooth functionality with my Mac, including iSync. However, some V3i's don't work over Bluetooth - the Mac can't "see" any of the phone's services, thus preventing file transfers or iSync-ability without a USB connection. I can't say for sure if this is related to iTunes or not, but so far it seems the iTunes-loaded V3i's work better. Caveat emptor!
