Check out the LG VX4500 for Verizon
The LG VX4500 offers consumers the latest in mobile technology with voice command. Enabled with speaker-independent voice recognition, the VX4500 allows any user to dial a number by speaking the name of a contact from a phone book, or by speaking the digits of a phone number.
The stocky, silver LG VX4500 doesn’t go far in the style department. Looking much like your garden-variety flip phone, it has a bulbous shape that makes it a bit wider (3.5 by 1.9 by 0.9 inches; 3.7 ounces) than many of its counterparts. Though the handset fits in bigger pockets, it feels comfortable against your face when you’re talking.
Flip open the phone, though, and the situation improves. You’re greeted by the bright, 65,000-color display. Though it is slightly larger than the LG VX4400’s screen, the VX4500’s could still be bigger
(1.75 inches diagonally) for the phone’s size. Like many handsets that sport a color screen, this one conserves battery life by turning almost completely dark when not backlit.
For a midrange phone, the LG VX4500 comes with a solid arsenal of features. A 499-entry phone book can store up to five numbers and three e-mail addresses for each contact, while a duplex speakerphone, text and EMS (but not MMS) messaging, a voice memo function, an alarm
clock, a tip calculator, a world clock, and a notepad round out the package. The handset comes with 36 polyphonic ring tones and a vibrate mode, with more available from Get It Now. You can also assign ring tones and pictures for your various contacts, though the pictures do not show up on the external display, and you can even choose separate ring tones for any text messages you receive from a given contact.
