LG VX8700 Cell Phone
With its sleek, brushed metal body and 2.0-megapixel camera and camcorder, the VX8700 is LG’s answer to Motorola’s KRZR K1, where the focus is on sexy, minimalist design and sharp, printable quality photos.
LG VX8700 cell phone’s silver metal is refined and professional, and the external display doubles as a mirror when the light is off. Its brushed metal disguises fingerprints more than some phones, although they do show up. Slim enough to pocket easily or slip into the smallest bag, it fortunately still has a solid feel, weighing in at just under four ounces; slightly heavier than the 3.26-ounce VX8600.
Both the external and internal displays are TFT or Thin Film Transistor LCD screens, meaning they produce sharper, more brilliant images. On the outside, the 65K-color display has 48 x 160 px. Date, time and battery life are shown on the external screen, while text in the display runs vertically up the center of the face; aligned on the left or right. Inside, a large 262K-color display has 240 x 320 px. The Flash menu interface will be familiar to Verizon Wireless customers, as it follows the simple format while adding animation.
LG VX8700 cell phone features a one-touch speakerphone, and Verizon Wireless’ Get It Now music and ringtones can be accessed with the arrow keys. Arrow keys can also be used to pull up VCAST video and personal photo and videos, and to access Mobile Web 2.0 and the calendar.
A one-touch button on the lower right side of the LG VX8700 cell phone is also a faster way to bring up the camera, camcorder and saved media. Volume controls can also be adjusted easily with the two small buttons on the top left side...
