Verizon Wireless And LG Mobile Phones Take Mobile Technology To New Heights With The Launch Of The VX8100

High-Speed Video Clip Downloads, Bluetooth Wireless Technology and Stereo Sound Ensure Verizon Wireless Customers Stay Entertained and In-Touch
07/14/2005

SAN DIEGO and BEDMINSTER, NJ -- Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless service provider, and LG Electronics MobileComm (LG Mobile Phones) announced the July 15 availability of the LG VX8100 phone, the latest handset designed by LG Mobile Phones to take full advantage of Verizon Wireless’ high-speed EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) network. Available exclusively to Verizon Wireless customers, the VX8100 is optimized for V CAST, the nation’s first and only wireless broadband multimedia service for consumers that allows them to view high-quality video clips from major news, sports and entertainment outlets, play 3D games and download rich multimedia content – all with their wireless phones.

Packing a variety of advanced features into its sleek and stylish clamshell case, the VX8100 represents the ultimate combination of utility and entertainment. In addition to its high-speed data capabilities, the VX8100 boasts advanced Bluetooth® wireless technology for certain profiles, enabling users to connect wirelessly to a variety of Bluetooth-enabled devices including headsets and many new vehicles. Additionally, the VX8100 is among the first wireless phones available in the United States to offer the flexibility and convenience of removable MiniSD memory, allowing Verizon Wireless customers to view user generated digital pictures and video clips on their wireless phones. The VX8100’s dual external stereo speakers ensure that audio is crisp and vibrant, and the handset’s 1.3 mega-pixel digital camcorder enables users to capture all of life’s special moments in vibrant detail.

“Without question, the VX8100 represents the absolute pinnacle of today’s mobile technology innovation,” said Mr. Juno Cho, president, LG Electronics MobileComm. “In concert with the advanced features packed into the VX8100, Verizon Wireless’ EV-DO network and its outstanding V CAST service give mobile phone users access to a whole new world of rich multimedia content, right at their fingertips. More and more, mobile phones are evolving into portable media hubs, providing users with access to information, entertainment and communication; the VX8100 represents a huge step forward in that evolution.”

In addition to the capabilities of the VX8100 to access to Verizon Wireless’ EV-DO wireless broadband network and V CAST multimedia service, the phone boasts a mega-pixel digital camera and all the must-have wireless phone features that users have come to expect from LG, including speaker phone, a 500 contact phone book that stores up to five phone numbers and two e-mail addresses per contact, 72-chord polyphonic sound, personal organizer and more. Designed in a sleek silver and blue clamshell, the VX8100 has the accelerated style to match its advanced capabilities.

The VX8100’s long list of multimedia capabilities also include Video Messaging, allowing Verizon Wireless customers to take up to 15 seconds of video with the integrated 1.3 mega-pixel camera and send their clips to other Verizon Wireless video-capable phones or to an e-mail address.

I see in the internet that you can use the Audiovox 6600 smartphone as a modem and there are sites to show you how. Can you use the bluetooth on this phone to connect to the EVDO network with a pc and a ppc. Also, can use a OEM cable to connect?

I got the vx8100 and tried to use it as a modem with same cable that came with vx8000. When I am setting up dial-up connection, the dialog pops up saying that my user name or password is incorrect. Do you know if Verizon is selling EVDO service (can be used as a modem) for this model?
