Make sure to read about other exciting Verizon Wireless phones from our sponsors.This must surely be one of the smallest and sleekest phones to offer EV-DO connectivity. The VX8000 is a clinically perfect example of the clamshell design. LG have kept it simple and so it exudes a sort of minimalist beauty. There’s nothing minimalist about the features however. The front of the clamshell sports the External color display that displays Caller Picture ID, time, message alert and signal/battery strength. It also doubles up as an additional ‘mirror’ screen for the second addition to the front of the VX8000; the megapixel camera that can take still pictures or video/audio capture; both feature stunning picture quality and a whole host of imaging technology such as white balance, macro lens setting and night mode. There are also the controls for the external MP3 player, which we will get to soon. Flipping up the lid of the LG VX8000, you are immediately faced by the 176×220 main screen that will be crystal clear, thanks to its support of a massive 262,000 colors. Twinned with the touchtone-style backlit keypad, navigating the menus is a breeze. Messaging is fully supported with SMS, MMS, chat and email. The EV-DO connection, boasting near-broadband speeds allows you to surf the web, send emails, download extra features and connect you to Verizon’s revolutionary V Cast system. This allows you to stream video footage straight to your handset, with TV channels such as CNN, ESPN, E! and even Comedy Central. Music can also be streamed, with the latest and greatest hits available for either one-time streaming or download. The Verizon LG VX8000 is the best cell phone for technophiles who need the latest gadget, but don’t want it in a cellular phone that closely resembles a brick.
