Reviews of the LG VX8000 (Verizon Wireless)

CNET Review
The Good: Integrated 1.3-megapixel camera with video; solid call quality; support for high-speed EV-DO third-generation networks; plays MP3s; speakerphone.
The Bad: High-speed networks are available only in limited areas; no Bluetooth or infrared port; hefty.
The Bottom Line: The VX8000 offers an admirable combination of features and performance. Before you jump onboard, though, make sure Verizon's EV-DO network is available in your area.
