LG Announces its Latest Called LG VX8360

LG has announced what the company called a dream come true for mobile entertainment lovers—everything you need in one compact device. The LG VX8360 is an update to the LG VX8350.
Measuring 3.64 inches long by 1.91 inches wide by 0.78 inch thick, the VX8360 is a little smaller and thinner than its predecessor, while still maintaining the look and feel of a compact clamshell. It has a dark blue shell with silver trim and an inner chrome border, which result in quite a sporty racecar look. The VX8360 is also lightweight at 3.35 ounces and its slightly rounded edges make it feel comfortable in the hand.
The LG VX8360 comes with a generous 1,000-entry phone book with room in each entry for five numbers and two e-mail addresses. You can organize your contacts into groups, pair them with a picture for photo caller ID, or one of 23 polyphonic ring tones and alert tones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, a calculator, a tip calculator, a calendar, an alarm clock, a stopwatch, a world clock, a notepad, and a voice memo recorder. More advanced users will like the mobile instant messaging (AIM, Yahoo, and MSN), mobile e-mail (this is done via the VX8360’s Web browser), voice command capabilities, a wireless Web browser, stereo Bluetooth, and USB Mass Storage mode.
It also has A-GPS, and it is compatible with location-based services such as VZ Navigator and Chaperone, a Verizon service that helps parents keep track of their kids. Both of its external and internal displays look great, and though it looks quite ordinary, the keypad maintains that same tactile feel that we’ve come to love from the VX8350. The overall handset felt comfortable in the hand, and from our brief hands-on with the phone, it was easy to navigate as well.
The VX8360 is set to debut soon, although the exact date has not been released. It’ll cost $50 from Verizon Wireless with a two-year service agreement.
