Amazon.com 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 luckily, the LG VX8300 is up for the task. And that includes support for Verizon Wireless' exciting music service, which lets you discover and jam out to tunes wherever you roam. This upgrade to the popular VX8100 adds a thinner and lighter profile, much longer battery life, and support for stereo Bluetooth headsets and microSD memory cards instead of miniSD. As with the VX8100, the VX8300 features a 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture and dual color displays. All this makes the VX8300 the perfect companion in a new era of high-speed wireless content. Design The VX8300 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 MicroSD slot. A generous, full-color 96 x 96 OLED supplementary display on the outside of the cover displays incoming call information, battery life, signal strength, graphics, photos and more. Music playback control keys are also located on the front cover. 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 VX8300 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. USB data connectivity is available via an adapter cable that plugs into the bottom of the phone. Calling Features The VX8300's built-in address book can store up to 500 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email 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. 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 VX8300's voice recognition software supports voice commands from any user, not just a pre-programmed user's voice. Lastly, the VX8300's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911. Messaging, Internet and Tools With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, the VX8300 is fully compatible with Verizon's V Cast service. With V Cast, you can download and stream high-quality video. Need news and weather? Get the latest Accuweather forecast delivered right to your handset, or stream CNN news headlines.
