LG Decoy (Verizon Wireless) review

 

As hands-free calling laws go into effect around the country, Bluetooth headsets are slowly becoming a must-have accessory for those who wish to continue chatting on the phone while on the road. Even now, Bluetooth headsets have reached a critical...

The LG Decoy comes with a built-in Bluetooth headset that stows away in the back of the phone. It has nice tactile keys, an easy-to-use interface, and features include a 2-megapixel camera, EV-DO, stereo Bluetooth, a music player, and V Cast support....

The LG Decoy has a very glossy finish that makes it prone to smudges, and the display can be difficult to see under bright lights. The included Bluetooth headset has skinny volume controls, and does not have noise reduction or echo canceling technology.

The LG Decoy is an excellent phone on its own, but the addition of a built-in Bluetooth headset puts it over the top.

LG Decoy VX8610

 

Surprise! This slider cell has a Bluetooth headset tucked into the back, so you'll always have it at the ready.

Innovative design integrates a Bluetooth headset. Very good voice quality. Decent camera.

Headset performs poorly in noisy areas. Short Bluetooth talk time.

LG Decoy

 

The LG Decoy is an attractive cell phone with its sleek finish, slider design, and bright display. But that's not what makes this cell phone stand out. It's actually the integrated Bluetooth headset that is the real show stopper. The LG Decoy comes...

LOVE the built-in bluetooth!

 

I bought this phone 2 years ago, and I'm still in love with it. It is still working great after 2 years (and a few drops.) It is great to never have to search for the bluetooth, it is always right there in the back of the phone. It is against the law...
