LG VX8360 – the Compact Music-centric Handset
The LG VX8360, the successor to the old VX8360 model, was launched by Verizon Wireless as a "Bluetooth music phone" built for mobile entertainment lovers. Although the VX8360 may look like any other clamshells, it is packed with advanced features, such as stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, VCAST Music and high-speed EVDO data transmission, which make it one of the better mid-range handsets out there.
Targeting at music lovers, the VX8360 is equipped with a MP3 player with external music keys, music-only audio mode and dual speakers for stereo sound. It comes with VCAST Music with Rhapsody, a song downloading service, for users to download music and video clips. To save these files, apart from the 44MB of internal memory, you can also add extra storage to the phone with a microSD memory card up to 8GB. But unfortunately, it only comes with a 2.5mm audio jack instead of a 3.5mm one.
Like many other new cell phones, the VX8360 sports A-GPS that is compatible with VZ Navigator providing color maps and spoken turn-by-turn directions. There is another location-based service called Chaperone provided by Verizon, which helps parents keep track of their kids. Other noteworthy features include a 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, USB Mass Storage mode, stereo Bluetooth support, voice command capabilities and a 1000-contact phone book.
The VX8360 has two screens, a 2-inch TFT internal display with 262K colors and 240 x 320 pixels, and a 1.17-inch TFT external one supporting 65K colors and 96 x 96 pixels. Measuring 3.64" high by1.91" wide by 0.78" thick and weighing in at 3.35 ounces, the handset has a compact design which is pocket-friendly.
As an update to its predecessor, the LG VX8360 is a pretty decent mid-tier handset, which shows a good combination of style and multimedia functionality.
