LG VX6000 Phone (Verizon Wireless) The all-digital VX6000 is the picture perfect example of technology and innovation. With its built-in camera, complete with zoom control and three resolution adjustments, as well as a large high-resolution display, the VX6000 from LG creates a totally new experience for mobile users. Get in on all the fun of a camera phone with robust mobile Internet and messaging capabilities.
Design
The phone features a traditional clamshell design with a large 120 x 160 TFT color display with a stunning 262,000 colors. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary OEL (Organic Electro-Luminescent) 96 x 38 display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Most of the phone’s features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset’s blue backlit control pad. Meanwhile, the top right side of the unit houses an antenna while the USB-capable data and charging port is housed on the unit’s bottom edge. There’s a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets on the left side of the handset.
calling Features
The VX6000’s built-in address book can store up to 499 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. The phone comes with 36 built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. The speed dialing feature allows you to dial up to 99 numbers virtually instantaneously. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear and the VX6000’s GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911.
Messaging, Internet and Tools
The VX6000 is a messaging powerhouse with support for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), which allows you to send picture messages as easily as text and graphics. When used in combination with the phone’s built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit– a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the VX6000, as well. Verizon’s optional Mobile Web package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. You can check your e-mail, trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings and find directions to the theater.
Verizon’s Get It Now wireless download service is also fully compatible with the VX6000. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads and digital photo-sharing tools using the Get It Now service.
The VX6000 ships with a calendar and scheduler, a voice memo application with up to 4 minutes of record time, and a notepad. An alarm clock, calculator and world clock are also included, as is the very handy restaurant tip calculator. Never dine without it!
Imaging and Entertainment
The VX6000 really shines in the digital imaging department. The 330,000-pixels, 640 x 480 camera features a digital zoom, color effects controls (normal, antique, black and white, negative), a built-in mirror for self-portraits and white balance adjustment. The camera can be set to one of three quality levels (low, medium, high) and there’s also a shutter self timer. Built-in framing software lets you place one of five “fun frames” around your photos before you send them off to friends.
The fun doesn’t stop with taking pictures. The VX6000 is also BREW enabled, meaning it supports games written on the BREW platform and many games are available via the Get It Now service. The phone also features customizable caller ID pictures and 7 built-in screen backgrounds so you can make your phone reflect your personality.
