>>>>> work

>>>>> dura
>>>>> xv is set up very much like the cadence phone. Since I have the
>>>>> cadence
>>>>> phone, I could tell you about how it is. With the cadence phone when
>>>>> you go
>>>>>
>>>>> to dial a number, the best way I could say it is that it's a bit
>>>>> frustrating
>>>>>
>>>>> until you get use to it, and then again it might be something you don't
>>>>>
>>>>> want
>>>>>
>>>>> to get use too. When dialing a digit of a phone number, if you don't
>>>>> dial
>>>>> the second digit fast enough, the voice wants to read you the main
>>>>> screen,
>>>>> for example, left soft key and so on. But if you don't find that
>>>>> confusing
>>>>> or annoying, you can dial numbers easily enough. The cadence has the
>>>>> caller
>>>>>
>>>>> id. texting can be done on this phone, and you could even read your
>>>>> message
>>>>>
>>>>> before you send it. The items that are the most accessible and set up
>>>>> well
>>>>> enough to use are  the notepad, sound recorder, and world clock. The
>>>>> regular
>>>>>
>>>>> calculater is unusable due to whenever you press any digits, the phone
>>>>> continues to read the calculator screen. Either setting an alarm in
>>>>> the
>>>>> alarm clock or setting up an advent in the calendar, while it's doable
>>>>>
>>>>> it's
>>>>>
>>>>> painstaking due to when you're  arrowing up and down to get the number
>>>>>
>>>>> hour
>>>>>
>>>>> you need, for example, the number just changes once. For example if in
>>>>> setting the alarm it's on 5:00, and you want to change it to 8, when
>>>>> you
>>>>> arrow down to 6 you'll here 6, arrowing down once more being on 7 the
>>>>> phone's voice says 6 again, and arrowing down again to 8, the phone's
>>>>> voice
>>>>>
>>>>> says 6. So knowing this about the phone you would keep track of the
>>>>> times
>>>>> you're arrowing down to get to the right hour number you need. When
>>>>> you've
>>>>> got the alarm set that's when you hear wether it's all correct. I don't
>>>>>
>>>>> know
>>>>>
>>>>> if the dura xv is set up any better than the cadence, but if at all
>>>>> possible
>>>>>
>>>>> it's good when you could   work the phone in the store before you even
>>>>> consider buying it, if in the store they have it out on the counter in
>>>>>
>>>>> the
>>>>> store as a demo phone. More and more lately I've been hearing about how
>>>>>
>>>>> in a
>>>>>
>>>>> number of the stores, they don't have the flip phones out as demos on
>>>>> the
>>>>> counter so therefor you couldn't completely check out how the phones
>>>>> are set
>>>>>
>>>>> up.
>>>>> The lg exalt phone, is the best  set up flip phone out of the  flip
>>>>> phones
>>>>> that I know of. You could easily dial phone numbers, and the exalt has
>>>>>
>>>>> the
>>>>> caller id. writing a text on the exalt is great, since you could read
>>>>> what
>>>>> you wrote in your message so far or read the message before you send
>>>>> it.
>>>>> With arrowing right or left, you could easily corect any mis spelled
>>>>> words,
>>>>>
>>>>> by back spacing on any wrong letters and typing the 1 or 2 right
>>>>> letters.
>>>>> I couldn't seem to corect any mispelled words in a text message written
>>>>>
>>>>> with
>>>>>
>>>>> the cadence.  I can use just about all the items in the tools area of
>>>>> the lg
>>>>>
>>>>> exalt, of which that's the second of 2 locations for the voice command.
>>>>>
>>>>> The
>>>>>
>>>>> voice recorder is very easy to record with. In fact I found that you
>>>>> could
>>>>> close the phone when you're recording. It's very easy and set up
>>>>> impressively well,  in setting up an event in the calendar and also
>>>>> setting
>>>>>
>>>>> the alarm clock. In either one the calendar or setting an alarm  in
>>>>> the
>>>>> alarm clock,you would press the left soft key for setting the time.
>>>>> for
>>>>> example in the alarm clock, once you press the left soft key to set,
>>>>> the
>>>>> phone's voice will  say enter hour, and you would arrow up or down for
>>>>>
>>>>> the
>>>>> right hour number, then when you arrow right it will say enter minute,
>>>>>
>>>>> if
>>>>> you arrow right again it will say am and if you need pm just arrow
>>>>> down
>>>>> once. In either the calendar or typing someone's birthday in a contact
>>>>>
>>>>> for
>>>>> that person, it's the same, with pressing left soft key for set, the
>>>>> phone's
>>>>>
>>>>> voice says enter month, and arrow up or down for the right month,
>>>>> after
>>>>> getting the right month, than arrow right and it will sayenter day,
>>>>> and
>>>>> after arrowing up or down for the number of the date, arrowing right
>>>>> again
>>>>> it will say enter year, arrow up or down for the right year. It's so
>>>>> easy to
>>>>>
>>>>> use the calendar and alarm clock the way it's et up. I also enjoy using
>>>>>
>>>>> the
>>>>>
>>>>> calculator in the lg exalt. One of the neatest things about it, after
>>>>> you've
>>>>>
>>>>> done your calculation and your pess the center soft key for the
>>>>> answer,
>>>>> before it gives you the answer it will repeat your calculations and
>>>>> then
>>>>> give you the answer. Using the notepad is easy  to use, I have a
>>>>> shopping
>>>>> list in my notepad area, and it's hahndy  to write down any other
>>>>> information. You can go into the browser on both phones, but it seems
>>>>> a
>>>>> little easier navigating on the cadence's browser. Then again maybe I
>>>>> just
>>>>> need to work on getting more use to the browser on the exalt. You could
>>>>>
>>>>> set
>>>>>
>>>>> up email on both these flip phones. The only drawback is, that  I don't
>>>>>
>>>>> know
>>>>>
>>>>> if it  isn't capable of reading the body of a message. One thing that
>>>>> works
>>>>>
>>>>> easily even though usually I can't read the body of the message with
>>>>> either
>>>>>
>>>>> of these phones, If I send alink to a web site in an email to the phone
>>>>>
>>>>> I
>>>>> could press the center soft key and it will enter on the link to the
>>>>> web
>>>>> site and open it in the browser. There's some different phone features
>>>>>
>>>>> in
>>>>> both phones for call blocking, setting up speed dial numbers and some
>>>>> other
>>>>>
>>>>> things.We haven't gotten to the stores yet so we haven't tried out any
>>>>>
>>>>> of
>>>>> the other new phones. As soon as we do I'll send another message about
>>>>>
>>>>> what
>>>>>
>>>>> they are like.If anyone does know what the orbic journey is like, or if
>>>>>
>>>>> you
>>>>>
>>>>> know more about the 4g dura xv let us know, and we're still going to
>>>>> check
>>>>> out the consumer cellular phones.From what I know sprint has the
>>>>> kyozera
>>>>> dura xv except that they call it the duramax, both verizon and sprint
>>>>> sell
>>>>> the phone for about $270. The dura xv and the dura max are the rugged
>>>>> flip
>>>>> phones and these phones are waterproof, meaning that they are very
>>>>> sturdily
>>>>>
>>>>> made and a little thicker than the other flip phones.
>>>>> For my question if anyone knows, I was reading that in dallas, texas
>>>>> and
>>>>> some other cities, they are begining with 5g phones, does anyone know
>>>>> of any
>>>>>
>>>>> 5g flip phones? I was just wondering, though we'll be able to use our 4
>>>>>
>>>>> g
>>>>> phones for a good while.
