    CNET Review

    April 27, 2007

    The Good: The LG VX8700 has a stunning and attractive stainless-steel design. It also has impressive multimedia features, and the call quality was great.

    The Bad: The LG VX8700 has a flat keypad and lacks external music player controls, and the microSD card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery. The VX8700 does not come with a USB cable or a microSD card, so there are additional costs to reap the full benefits of the music player.

    The Bottom Line: The LG VX8700 is a gorgeous phone with plenty of multimedia features that are sure to please if you can get past its design flaws. Also, the need to purchase additional accessories can be a pain.

    Review Summary: it has a good camera, great call quality, good Bluetooth performance including A2DP and good overall response times. In terms of both features and looks, it's serious competition for the Motorola RAZR maxx. We like most everything about this phone lots: a

    Review Summary: Wrapped in brushed metal, the VX8700 has the style of LG's Shine family, but is all Verizon Wireless at heart. Does it leave other phones feeling like last year's prom queen?
