Intro Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Wrap-Up Comments  77  

LG Sprint  

One of the biggest announcements this year is undoubtedly the VX-8000 from LG - the country's first CDMA 1xEV-DO phone. EV-DO is the new ultra-high-speed data technology currently being rolled out by Verizon Wireless.

But EV-DO is only the beginning - the VX-8000 also sports a megapixel camera, and dual color displays. The camera includes a macro mode and can record video. Both displays are excellent quality, and extremely high-resolution.

The VX-8000 is not a small phone, but considering what's inside, it's not huge, either. Most importantly, it's the same thickness as any other LG clamshell. The VX-8000 is expected to be available around mid-year.

 

Next up is the VX-7000. While it doesn't have the cutting-edge technology of the VX-8000, it still packs quite a punch. The swiveling VGA camera can record video, and includes a flash.

 

Next in LG's new CDMA lineup is the VX-5550, a stylish new clamshell with a unique angled OLED outer display. Speakerphone and voice control are among the main features.

 

Also announced was the VX-4600, another sleek clamshell with an OLED outer display, but a more basic feature set:

 

Last in the new CDMA announcements was the VX-3200, a new entry-level model to follow in the footsteps of the VX-3100. The new model adds a color display and speakerphone:

 

Moving on to GSM, the company announced the L1200, which we covered in our 3GSM report, and the C1300, a very tiny new entry-level phone that appears to be the successor to the G4010. A color display and Java are the two main upgrades. The oval on the outside is just decoration - like its predecessor, the emphasis is on low cost and small size - hence, no outer display.
