the new version is GREAT, but it wasn’t out yet - the old version not so much – too hard to navigate, and my niece had one and had problems with it. So I looked at the others available. I am a Verizon Wireless customer and the salesperson said the VX8300 was the way to go (more about the sales people later). It looked a lot like the 4500 so I went for it. I should mention that my 4500 fell down an elevator shat – 4 stories! – a few scratches and the battery didn’t make it, but otherwise it was fine! Better than a timex. This is why I was sold on the LG – I have previiously had a Motorola (and tried the Silver), and a Panasonic, and neither were as cool, clean, and easy-to-use as my old LG. I tried the 8300 in the store, and it seemed to be close to my old guy, so I bought it.
