----
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
re 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. ESPN sports updates,
entertainment news from E!, and even Sesame Street content for
the kids, are all available. V Cast also serves as a portal for
enhanced 3D games. Have more fun with a new breed of realistic
games.
With support for sending and receiving text, picture and video
messages, the VX8300 has all the bases covered when it comes to
messaging, too. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes
it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is
built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging
users.
Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the VX8300.
Verizon's Mobile Web package allows you to read and send e-mails,
exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on
your phone. You can check your e-mail, trade stocks online,
compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get
movie listings and find directions to the theater. Verizon's Get
It Now wireless download service is also fully compatible with
the VX8300. This pay-per-download service features application
downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize
your handset with ringtone downloads using the Get It Now
service.
Verizon's music service is another EV-DO-powered service that
makes the VX8300 all the more desirable. With V Cast Music, your
phone is a music player, letting you jam out wherever you are.
It's also a music store, and you can download songs instantly to
your phone wirelessly. Save your songs to a memory card with a
capacity that's right for you. You can even pause to take a call
without missing a beat.
The VX8300 ships with a number of handy tools including a
and a voice memo application. An alarm clock and
calculator are also included. Use the VX8300's Bluetooth
capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth headset
accessory or connect to a computer or hand-held device to
exchange and synchronize data. And don't forget that you can take
advantage of the VX8300's support for Bluetooth stereo headsets.
Imaging and Entertainment
While the VX8300 is a great platform for watching V Cast video
content, it can also capture video that can be shared with your
friends and associates via video messaging. The video unit
records in MPEG4 format and can capture clips up to 15 seconds in
length. Of course, you can also use the camera to capture still
pictures, too. In addition to megapixel resolution (1280 x 960),
the camera features an LED flash, macro and night modes, a
self-timer, and brightness and white balance controls.
The VX8300 supports V Cast 3D games, as well as other 2D-based
games, which are available from Verizon's Get It Now service. You
can also customize the phone's wallpapers and screensavers to
give your phone a look that suits your style.
