LG VX-8000

Anyone have any idea whether or not the the speakerphone on the VX8000 will work when the handset itself is in a closed position?!

Anyone know??

Will this phone have built in bluetooth?

Great News! Just spoke with a representative from VZW support, and she gave me a concrete release date: September 15. She knew exactly what she was doing, so I'm sure she's correct. But, they don't have any information on price yet. I feel so special I found this information! Enjoy.

The front page news of phonescoop says Verizon wireless lanched the EVDO in Vegas and that it is already out in DC and some other place. If this is so what phones do they have in these areas to use it with?

I am so far not impressed with the reviews of the v710.

I am interested in a cell phone that has a speakerphone, the other features are interesting, but I need a TELEPHONE!

Does the 8000 have the "driving mode" feature of the 4500? On that phone, if you leave the speakerphone on, the phone announces an incoming call, and you can answer via speakerphone without opening or touching the phone. I like this feature! Of course, bluetooth does it, but after you purchase the other headset for god knows how much $!

I will wait for the 8000 if it has this feature. does anyone know? can I find out?
THANKS!!

Any word on an estimates release date on the vx8000? So far I'm not impressed with the v710 and am thinking about holding out if the wait isn't too long.

It doesn't seem to say in the stats (or perhaps I just missed it) - does anyone know if you record video with the phone, does it record sound to?

I imagine that since the V710 is xtrememly price that the 8000 will be just as expensive if not more. Looks like that even after the 8000 comes out I will be waiting a while for the price to drop ☹️

Does anyone out there know if the VX-8000 will having the same flashing LED that the 7000 does?

What about Call Screening?

E-mail client?

I am looking to get a new phone because the one i have now is a POS and i was jw what your different opinions are on each of these phones and which one is the better than the other? Thank you for your time.

personally I found these pics to be very impressive. Enough to make me seriously consider waiting for the release of the 8000. I wonder how the quality of the 710 pics will stack up to the CDD of the 8000

Does anyone know if the 8000 will have something similar to the v710's t-flash mem? The only reason I, personally, can see keeping the v710 when the 8000 comes out is the easy transfer of pics. All other features seem to be equal or nearly equal except LG has a long history of producting better working equpitment.

I definetly plan on getting the v710 basically for bluetooth and the camera/mem-card combination. I will however switch to the vx8k if it will have removable mem. I DO have a digicam, but is only 2.1mp, so the camera's quality is good enough for me. Plus my camera is the HUGE c-700 by olympus and the v710/vx8k would be a much lighter solution for my needs..

I've read that the korean version has 65k on the external screen but here on phonescoop it says 262k I was just wondering if anyone knew which on it would be on the 8000

Should I wait for the 8000 or get the 7000? If so, why? Please respond.

Will the streaming video be able to stream from LG phone to LG phone live video?

HI, I WANTED TO BUY THE VX 7000 BUT SAW THIS PHONE AND THIS LOOKS TO BE BETTER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY KNOWS THE RELEASE DATE AND HOW MUCH ITS GOING TO BE. IF ANYBODY KNOWS CAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS PHONE FOR VERIZON THEN THE OTHER PLEASE RESPOND WHEN EVER THANKS A LOT WHO EVER RESPONDS.

Camera phone: LG 8000
We knew phones with integrated megapixel cameras were going to be big news this year, and just about every handset manufacturer had an announcement to that effect. Featuring a 1.3-megapixel CCD camera with a 10X zoom, a built-in flash, and a video-recording function, the LG 8000 clearly stands out from the rest. In addition to its impressive list of photo features, it also sports internal and external 262,000-color displays and works with 3G 1xEvDO (DSL speeds) networks. Pricing with service will be determined when the unit becomes available late this summer.

Sorry if this has already been answered a million times, but are there any credible thoughts on a release date?

Now i'm gonna get the 8000 no matter what it does, but... does streaming video mean that it will be able to do video calling 😕 😕 😕
