I have not used it, but if your concern is if it will work 100% with your E90, the answer is not at this time. You will be able to talk using BT, but Verizon (as usual

) disabled many of the BT functions with this phone, including the ability to transfer your phone book to the car. Unless Verizon releases a software update for the phone to enable phone book transfer over BT (like they did with the Motorola V710), you will need to pick up the phone to make a call and then the car will route the audio.

I would avoid it, I tried pairing my cousin's 8100 to the BT kit in my car and it wouldn't even pair. Any phone using Verizon OS (the LG's) will not work, it's just too crippled. To get a Verizon phone that works with the BT system, you need a v710 or e815, or the Blackberry, although that will probably only work with voice.

I'm using the Moto E815 and it works flawlessly. Nice phone too. The LG VX9800 seems more geared towards people who text constantly, i.e. teens and college kids.
