Sci Tech Today has reviewed LG VX9800 Smartphone. Measuring 4.57 x 1.97 x 1.0 inches and weighing 5.19 ounces, Verizon's new "LG the V," as the wireless carrier calls it, sports a 1.75-inch color screen on the outside that displays a plethora of icons and other information pertaining to phone operations: time, date, signal strength, battery life, and caller ID. Turning the phone around reveals a highly capable 1.3-megapixel camera, with built-in flash and 4x zoom, that can double as a business-card scanner.

The LG VX9800 is the latest smartphone from Verizon Wireless to feature Evolution Data-Optimized (EVDO) capability, which means potentially blazing download speeds. But this new handset's main claim to fame is its ability to play both streaming video clips and music tracks. And it does it on a device that is appealing to both the eye and the ear.

Under the hood, the LG VX9800 incorporates a multimedia-enhanced chipset from Qualcomm; a Bluetooth radio; 128 MB of user-accessible flash memory; and a MiniSD memory-card slot. A five-way navigational control to the right of the keyboard enables you to quickly and easily select the more frequently used smartphone menus.

The handset integrates a full-duplex speakerphone, voice-command recognition software, a speed dialer, and a voice memo recorder.

Rating:8/10
