LG VX6100

You’ll love the many features that the VX6100 has to offer including the “camera phones for everyone” torch that comes with innovative technology and savvy design. At 3.7 by 1.9 by 0.9 inches and 3.9 ounces, the LG VX6100 is a nice-size handset that fits well into a jeans pocket. The
postage-stamp-size external display shows time, date, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID (where available) but no picture caller ID.

Once you open the clamshell, you’re greeted by a vivid 256,000-color screen that measures 2 inches diagonally. The display is both large and bright enough to comfortably view mobile versions of Yahoo and MSN, which makes checking Web-based e-mail easy and pleasant. You can also change the size and the color of the display font. An attractive mirrored frame surrounds the screen, and the earpiece is colored light blue.

For navigating the user-friendly menus, the VX6100 provides two soft keys that open contacts and the main menu. The soft keys flank the five-way toggle, which offers one-click access to the speakerphone, the Get It Now home page, voicemail, and the wireless Web. You will also find the traditional Talk and End keys, a Clear key, and a dedicated button for starting the camera.

The LG VX6100 features a 499-contact phone book that holds five phone numbers, three e-mail addresses, and photo caller ID for each name. Contacts can be organized into caller groups and paired with a picture as well as any of 41 polyphonic and 5 monophonic ring tones. Other features include a vibrate mode, a four-minute voice memo, a notepad, a tip calculator, text and multimedia messaging, a WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser, a scheduler, an alarm clock, a calculator, and a world
clock. The price is very fair at $149, but you should be able to find it cheaper with service.
