The LG VX-8700 comes with many features including a high quality display, music player, stereo Bluetooth, EVDO high speed data transfer, USB, memory slot for a Micro SD card and a high resolution 2 mega pixel camera.
For those looking for a phone full of great features that looks great, the LG VX-8700 definitely delivers. The phone has plenty of capabilities including a great looking large display and easy to use keypad. Using the phone is simple and easy and only required a few minutes to get used to. The LG VX-8700 has a high quality, high resolution 2 mega pixel camera on board, this camera takes great pictures and has a few features such as a self timer, red eye reducer and the ability to take video. Both images and video were very nice quality. I was able to transfer the images I took relatively easily with the Bluetooth onboard, as well as the USB connection available.
The LG VX-8700 also comes with a music player that supports both MP3 and WMA. The music player sounds great and with the speaker phone played clearly, even at high volumes. There are side keys that make using the music player extremely convenient as well. The LG VX-8700 includes a Micro SD memory card slot that can handle 2GB of data making the music player on board a true replacement for most MP3 players.
Battery life was good, however when using the media devices, the battery did drain quickly. Reception on the phone was excellent and using the phone was a breeze.
