LG VX8100 February 19th, 2006 | by Stewart Wolpin


Full Review - Conclusion

Conclusion

 

There are prettier phones. There are better music phones (such as Motorola's new SLVR L7 iTunes phone from Cingular). There are phones with larger screens for more satisfying video viewing and TV watching. There are better digital camera phones. But there are few phones that are proficient at all these functions at such a relatively bargain price. But you will have to make an additional investment to make the phone fully music compliant, an annoying roadblock to an all-purpose out-of-the-box experience. And it's not much to look at. But like a Volvo, the VX8100 is a safe, reliable choice that you can depend on.
