I am liking that 8700 more and more. I don't care for the tiny external screen (I have the VX8100 now and I like being able to read my text messages from the front screen) but I think I could get used to it. 🤤 🤤 🤤
...
The VX 8700 looks amazing. It is an exciting day for CDMA that is for between this and Motorola's announcement.
The question now is, when will we see this phone on VZW?
...
My LG rep was in my store the other day and showed me a 8700 dummy. it had a nice weight to it, it was BEAUTIFUL and made the razr looks like garbage.
...
you can tell by the model number where the phones are going. verizon uses 4 digit numbering, usually in the hundreds (8100,8300,8600) so they will be getting the 8700
and sprint uses 3 digit numbering (150,350,550) so they will be getting the lx-570 (in the summer i think)
...
Plus all LG phones for Verizon have a "VX" before the number.
...
egotistical much? lol
...
Sorry. I didn't mean for it to sound that way. 😕
...
i meant for verizon. why do they put so much emphasis on the "v"
...
Oohhh. 🤣
Yeah, I see what you mean. It makes it easier on us to tell where phones are going though. 😁
...
true, but i heard that sprint will be getting verizon's hand-me-down's to be brought in as mid-range ev-do phones.

true, but i heard that sprint will be getting verizon's hand-me-down's to be brought in as mid-range ev-do phones."
So does that mean that Sprint will get Verizon's hand-me down phones like the LG Chocolate or the LG VX8600?
...
the LX-570 looks like a VX8600 with the chocolate touchpad on the front.. hand me downs precisely.
...
How is the LX-570 a hand me down, regardless of what it looks like it's just and upgraded Fusic 🤨
...
cause looks exactly like a verizon VX8600 with the vx8500 chocolate touchpad on the front, just in blue lights and not red.
...
maybe LG didnt want it to look like a KRZR knock off.
...
HA sorry LG doesnt copy absolute garbage.
...
exactly. i hate moto. i do think the 8600 does look like the bastard love child of the razr and the krzr though.
...
When is it due out. I heard within two weeks?
...
8700 is probably out mid-april at this point. I'm a little disappointed that it is supposed to be above the 8600 without music controls. Oh well, the 9400 is better. As for the "VX", Cingular gets "CU" though I guess that has to change to "AT" now. It's only so they know what boxes and what companies each phone are going to. No real other reason, it was LGs idea on how make things easy for their production teams
...
I think I'll just wait for the VX8400. 🤤
Not really...
...
Then why does Sprint get the LX models? Shouldn't it be SX?
...
Mid to End of Q2 is what was originally expected...Let's hope it's soon!
...
Still rather see the slider rather than the flip.
