LG's VX8350 for Verizon comes into view

by Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 28th 2007 at 2:06PM

The heir apparent to the VX8300 is coming into full focus now, thanks in no small part to an interactive manual popping up over on Verizon's Testman site. The aptly named VX8350 dispenses of its predecessor's unsightly aerial antenna, replaces the external OLED with a traditional color LCD, and ups the max expansion to a full 4GB via microSD; the external music controls, stereo Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel cam, and 220 x 176 (blech!) primary display all carry over. phoneArena reports that this one will start to phase in as VX8300 stock depletes, running $79 on a two year contract after $50 rebate.

The LG-VX8300 was the Toyota Camry of VZW's lineup. Nothing really preytty to look at but not butt ugly either. Had good features (like EV-DO and expandable merory) but nothing spectacular. Good mid-range price, not gonna cost you arm and leg but far from basic cheapie too. EXTREMELY good seller, reliable, and sturdy.

I hope this phone keeps that up, I definitely like the internal antenna and slimmer design.

I have owned the VX8300 for a year now. I love it in every way except voice commands. The voice command on my prior phone, a LG VX4500 was excellent with and without (wired)headset. The voice command feature on my VX8300 is horrible with or without a bluetooth headset and I tried many different headsets. Since I like everything else about the VX8300 I'm considering the VX8350 but I'm going to wait for reviews on how well the voice command works before I purchase one. I need good voice command since I often use my cell while on the road. So I would very much appreciate if someone who owns one can advise me on how well the VX8350 operates particularly the voice command.

I just the LG VX8350. So far, I think it's a pretty decent phone. It feels really light, though...almost like it should be flimsy. How sturdy is this thing? Also, How can I make my Mp3's my ringtones? HELP!!!
