    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: What's thin, supershiny, and ultrastylish? No, it's not one of the silver Razrs. It's the LG VX8700. This cell phone is definitely a looker, and its beauty isn't limited to its exterior. Flip open the phone and you'll see a bright, gorgeous display. ...
