Chris (MisterCMK) bitched enough they gave him an E815 finally (out of the Mall verizon store).

Yup, the V710 was a piece of crap so I bitched at them and got an E815. True story.

True, they aren't in the same class, but the 8910 came out in 2004, not 4 years ago Audiovox Unveils The CDM-8910 Camera Phone With Built-In Flash (1/9/2004)

And from what I can tell, the E815 came out last year, so they aren't that far apart in age (I know, 1 year is an eternity in technology...but you know what I mean).

The camera aspect of the phone is only 1% of the reason I'd ever buy a phone, I'm far more concerned about reliability and range than taking a picture with it....which is why I avoid at all costs Nokia and Audiovox phones....spent way too much time doing tech support for a cell phone company in TN to even consider Nokia and personal experience dictates that I'll never buy another Audiovox.

Ehh...enough bitching from me.

Nope, its on the actual phone.

I agree, the E815 is probably the best phone I've owned. Had a crappy audiovox 8910 prior that wouldn't charge, wouldn't hold a charge, and couldn't make a call anywhere. Switched to the Motorola (and my wife switched to a razor from a Keyocera something or another) and couldn't be happier with the phones.

That sucks! Mine is 'Pink' too, but has never seen water; I'm assuming it was sweat from when I was working hard... Crap-deal, those things must be super sensitive to turning pink.

spanishrice on here did the same thing and he still has problems with it. i think,

same charging system in both phone from what they told me

I've had the E815 for nearly a year and haven't had a single issue with it. Don't think Chris has had an issue nor has a couple other guys we know with them.

same charging system in both phone from what they told me
