LG VX5500 for Verizon finally gets pictured, world lets out a collective sigh of relief

Alright, so maybe this non-3G crapshell isn't the phone that the world has been waiting for; maybe not by a long shot. Be that as it may, the VX5400-replacing VX5500 isn't looking half bad, featuring (if you can call these "features") a VGA camera, Bluetooth, and count 'em -- not one, but two displays. Looks like it's still tracking for a late October release, so get your wallets out, but don't plan on pulling out more than a few crisp bills because it'll run a mere $49.99 on a two-year setup.

kinda reminds me of the vx7000

wish it had a display at least the size of the 7k.

id like the 8360 to be this size, with the 176x220 screen it will have, and all the features it will ahve.

it would be hot-sause. or somethin...

The VX5400 wasn't a bad basic phone, but it was just ugly as sin. This phone is a welcome change... a decent looking (albeit not very sexy) basic LG fliphone (not everyone wants or needs a 2+mp camera and microSD slot you know).

but you have to understand... if it's not the iphone, then it's crap and nobody will want it.
