FREE LG VX8100 EV-DO Phone (Verizon Wireless) with FREE shipping Posted Friday, June 30, 2006 by David
Get ready for the power of Verizon's exciting V CAST service, which allows you to download or stream full motion video and 3D games, all on your handset. A service like that requires some horsepower, and, happily, the LG VX8100 EV-DO Phone (Verizon Wireless) is up for the task. This upgrade to the VX8000 ups the ante in significant ways; now you get Bluetooth and a MiniSD memory card slot. Plus, with a free software upgrade from Verizon, the LG VX8100 EV-DO Phone (Verizon Wireless) will play MP3s that are loaded onto the memory card. The phone has also been redesigned for a sleeker profile. As with the VX8000, the phone features a 1.3-megapixel camera with video capture and dual color displays. All this makes the LG VX8100 EV-DO Phone (Verizon Wireless) the perfect companion in a new era of high-speed wireless content.
Design
The LG VX8100 EV-DO Phone (Verizon Wireless) features a traditional clamshell design with a very large 176 x 220 color display and support for a whopping 262,000 colors--plenty of room for V CAST content. As mentioned, memory is expandable via a MiniSD slot. A generous, full-color 128 x 128 supplementary display on the outside of the cover displays incoming call information, battery life, signal strength, graphics, photos, and more. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad. The LG VX8100 EV-DO Phone (Verizon Wireless) also features a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets, and up/down keys are located on the left side of the unit. The 1.3-megapixel camera unit is housed on the rear of the unit. Music playback control keys are also located here. USB data connectivity is available via an adapter cable that plugs into the bottom of the phone.
Calling Features
The VX8100's built-in address book can store up to 500 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Meanwhile, a speed dialing feature allows you to dial up to 99 numbers virtually instantaneously. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert, and more ringtones can be downloaded via Verizon's Get It Now service. Ringtones can be assigned to specific callers so you don't have to look at the phone to know who's calling, or you can match pictures with callers to identify them. The VX8100's voice recognition software supports voice commands from any user, not just a preprogrammed user's voice. Lastly, the VX8100's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911.
