No battery life

Yesterday by Dawson

5.7 out of 10

I had my Boulder for a few days and its going back to Verizon. The only problem I really had with this phone was the battery life. You shouldn't have to charge a cell phone everyday after only talking for an hour the most and very few texting. I disabled the push to talk feature and the battery still was no good. Also the battery would get real hot after a 30 min conversation.The Verizon rep. suggested an extended battery for $50.00. Well sorry I'm not paying for a cell phone and then have to buy $50.00 battery on top of that. Also my Step-Father's company just switched over to Verizon for push to talk and purchased the Boulder and as of last week they switched back to Nextel. I went to this phone because for some reason I always seem to get my phones wet. Oh well, I'm sticking to LG.

Great Expectations are too high!

Yesterday by Briney Sea

9.3 out of 10

My first phone with Verizon was the LG V8300(the phone some experts claim to be the near-perfect cell phone) - I loved that phone; it had everything I wanted and more!  So, when it started to wear out, I went looking for another one to replace it and, low and behold, they were not selling them anymore!  So I was forced to look for a different but similar phone.  Because I was impressed with my first LG, I looked at a few of them and there was nothihg I fancied.  I looked for months until one day I found the Boulder online (and online only).  I read all the negative reviews and I was hesitant to buy it, but the description was so close to what I was looking for, that I couldn't resist.


I must say, I'm sure glad I did buy this phone!  Since I am no phone expert, I can only compare the Boulder to the LG V8300.  Despite all the hoopla, I have found the sound quality of the Boulder quite comparable to the 8300; my only problem here is that the phone speakers on the 8300 were much better for listening to music (only because they were designed for that).  The lack of a 2.5mm headphone jack is an issue for me but Verizon kindly supplied an adapter for me.  Another issue is the lack of support for Verizon's Backup Assistant (contact backup), but, once again, Verizon came through and transferred my contacts for free!  I do find the Boulder a little more cumbersome to open than the 8300 but I'm sure I'll adjust to that.  The only accurate complaint about the Boulder is that it is a battery eater compared to the LG V8300 (only lasts about half as long), but for my personal purposes, it is sufficient.  I have found the Bluetooth capabilities much better than the LG V8300 so far and I have already adjusted to the new UI (it's basically the same thing as the 8300, only a different look).


 


 


 





Durability; Bluetooth capabilities; style; unique features like the compass and flashlight; look and feel.
Battery-eater; no Backup Assistant (yet); clumsy to open.

Great features crappy speaker phone

1 Oct 2008 by Anonymous

7.7 out of 10

my company recently bought several of these phones and we like them a whole lot better than our old phones.  we have had them about a week now and the battery is doing great.  i went three days with out a charge (no calls though).  some of the guys are thinking about buying them for there personnal phone as well.  you can make the sound a little better by going to Setting & Tools > Call Settings > Voice Privacy > Off.  this does not improve the speaker phone at all. 





Digital compass. MP3 Player. water resistant.
I put songs on it but i can't make them my ring tone. taking the phone off the suggested clip is very difficlut. no antennae is nice, but it makes handleing the phone a little difficult. opening the phone with fat fingers is a little difficult. outside display difficult to read. but i would actually suggest buying this phone.
