Anyone owns/owned both this and the 801212? Need to get a second one and wondering if this one is any better. (PS do not care much for the 4G). Thanks

Mobile 4G (460108) works much better that 3G (801212). For maximum performance, use antenna 31133.

hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something . hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or... » Read More hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something . « Show Less

Thanks for your detailed response. Do you know if the 6thG Classic will still charge when docked to (for example) a clock radio?? I read that the 4thG Nano will still play music from such a device, but no longer charge the battery(unlike 3rdG Nano). I find this really annoying ...

The reception is Sprint 3G, which is to say, bad. I just came off an ATT contract and the 4G was so much better. My wife was on a 3G Blackberry, and the speeds were WAY better than Sprints 3G. Despite this though, the LG is still dated in almost every way unrelated to reception. Don't get me wrong, it's an OK, but I think it should be a lot cheaper given its age.

Having the same question!If I go with the 808, I'll need the dreaded micro sim.Is it as easy as going to my local AT&T; place and asking for a micro sim?Don't want to attract any attention to myself (if you know what I mean).

Hi James. I need to know what problem you're having with it to know if it has been improved. I'm very happy with the one I have. I can't believe how long the batteries last and except for the occasional signal drop out they work fine for me. I think the signal drop out problem I'm having could be related to the volume setting on my phone

Carlos - CL81201 has exceptional range potential; however, range can never be predicted, as it varies from one environment to another. Buy with confidence, as our phones feature unsurpassed range. Thanks!

*BE CAREFUL* the link took me to a model that lists 3G data. If true, this model is OLDER *DATA* protocol, not the newer/faster 4G nor 4G LTE, even though it lists CDMA, TDMA, GSM and AMPS. There are newer, just released 4G Wilson electronic models just announced about June, 2014. Go to the OEM website first and look for 3g v 4g (lte). You need to check each device's *DATA* frequency MHz AND transmission mode/protocol (3g, 4g, 4gLTE, CDMA, GSM etc.). Carriers have different frequencies / protocols their systems are designed to support. If all your phones use the same *DATA* frequency, there is a higher likelihood of compliance. As for 'simultaneously' I cannot answer that because some electronics are designed with 2-way simultaneous support (send & receive) whereas others will only do one mode at a time - per device. That is why some of the newer wireless access points are touting 2-way support, they can send/receive simultaneously so more than one device can be served concurrently. Contact Wilson Electronics (OEM MANUFACTURER TECH SUPPORT, not the WILSON retail reseller customer service) for absolute answers. Be aware many of the older Wilson Electronics cellular amplifiers (such as 3g) only boosted *DATA*, NOT *VOICE*. Check the model that is most compliant for your 3 phones as some of the *newer* 4G models are supposed to boost for voice & data. Also, Verizon phones in US I have only been able to get to function within this country using their 4G LTE mode, NOT GSM (which is what AT&T, others might use) even if the phone is dual or tri-band. Unfortunately if you notice there sometimes different product booster model #'s in the past for AT&T vs Verizon because of the above so if your phones are using inconsistent transmission technologies, one mobile booster device may support most but not all of your phones

Disregard my last answer a second ago, as was answered from another person this booster is a SINGLE user booster. What your after is the Wilson 801201 Dual Band Wireless Mobile Amplifier. This will allow multiple users to connect on the 2g 3g (not 4g lte) bands. The amount of users is based on outside signal factors, the device itself has no limit.

4g I just got my 3rd one, - first one didn't work at all, they took it back and got another one that worked for a few months, maybe 20 swims, then just stopped - my third one only worked once then stopped - so I am sending it back and not getting another one... only good part... only $40

Maybe I can help. Anything you order through Amazon or one of Amazon's affiliates will be selling the latest product, as they could not possibly have the old units still in stock. I have the 2012 808U version, which was the updated battery, and have had no problems with the battery. I went for a night ride a couple weeks ago, about a 90 minute ride with the beam on high, and I still had PLENTY of battery life left. I can also comment on the ruggedness of the unit, because I ate dirt 6 times on that night ride and everything still works. The light is BRIGHT and will turn night into day for you. Maybe I can help.

From what my research has shown, the 7017 was the precursor to the 8017 model. They're technically the same. I have the 8017 and I love it. The 2 way pager is the absolute coolest. It goes off up to 1/2 mile away and is pretty loud. I wasn't able to find a difference. You can go to their website and click the 'Contact' tab. Ask the question. They're very responsive.

I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web... » Read More I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone « Show Less

is there a real difference between this one and the 820? i was planing on picking one of the two after im finished with my deployment but since this on looks to be discontinued i should just wait to see what new come out.

Without getting too technical, can someone explain why it does not work with the 9000 series? Is there an extender available for those (I own KX-TG9392T)? Alternatively, is there a 2 line system that does work with a range extender?Finally, is there an alternate solution to getting broader coverage? Thanks.

You might not need to take it to the spot of 4g... The higher the antenna is the better.. So if you get a pole mount and put a pole on top of your house you should see the increased 4g. That's how mine is. Iv never had 4g inside my house.. Iv never had 3G. Only 1x threw the past 8 years... Now I get 4-5 bars 4g in my dinning room and 2bars in the next room..... But I also bought the upgraded indoor antenna because the DT4G comes with the black "desk" antenna... It only give you service if your within 5 feet... So if you want more area buy the 460101 and buy 304447($80)

I just saw it in the store today. Did u see the "halo affect" around the edges. I could see it, bit I'm not sure it's a deal breaker. The 650 has the same PQ, but no Halo Affect. I may be going with the 650.
