| hckim724's Full Review: LG VX4400 |
Looking for a beautiful color cellular phone?
I strongly recommend you purchase LG VX4400, a phone that is just released. This phone is available only with Verizon Wireless.
First of all, this phone has a large, beautiful, 65,000 color LCD screen. In fact, it shows the greatest number of colors among the three cellular phones with color LCD available for Verizon Wireless. It has the brightest, clearest LCD screen among the three phones. In addition, there is an external LCD with caller-ID, which tells you who is calling before answering a call. As a default, when a call is coming, the LCD blinks with dynamic color. Especially at night, the blinking color is so clear, bright, and beautiful. When a phone is idle, it shows time and date. For internal LCD, you could personalize your settings with 8 Wallpapers, 4 Theme Colors, 2 Font Sizes, and 5 Font Color. Isn't this amazing?
Second, there are 26 ring tones preinstalled. Each one of them sounds really clear. In fact, this phone comes with 16 chords. You can download beautiful ringers using "Get It Now" feature from Verizon Wireless. Downloading ringers costs some money. You can set different ringtones for different people.
Third, you can download many different applications. For example, you can get games, ringers (as I mentioned in the previous point), information about restaurants (Zagat To Go)..etc In addition, you can check your e-mail in Yahoo, Earthlink, Hotmail, etc.. Internet is ready, but costs some money. You need to check with Verizon Wireless to use the internet.
Fourth, yon can put 199 different entries in the phonebook. And, you can put multiple numbers for each individual. You can set a speed-dial if you call that person often. Voice-dialing is available, too. In other words, you say someone's name, then this phone will dial the person's number instantly.
Fifth, you can send a text message. There are about 10 preinstalled phrases that you can use such as "yes," "No," "Call me now," etc.. This phone comes with different pictures that you can send along with your text message. Unfortunately, Verizon Wireless does not handle pictures with text message yet. I guess Verizon Wireless needs to upgrade their technology asap so that this kind of phone becomes really distinguished.
Finally, there are other useful functions. You can input your schedule, set the alarm, take notes, and record voice, called "voice memo." There is a calculator, and world-clock. Difficulty in calculating tip? Well, this phone lets you calculate the amount of tip that you should pay for depending the number of splits.
Batterly life is amazingly long compared with other color LCD phones. Overall, I strongly recommend that you get this phone.
Well, this phone could have been unbeatable if it came with internal digital camera.. However, this feature is not necessary for a cellular phone.
I really enjoy using this phone.
(oh! there is $100 rebate)
