LG VX-8100
VX8100 is a downgrade?
VX8000: 262K / VX8100: 65K
Camera:
VX8000: CCD with Macro mode / VX8100: CMOS without Macro mode
I'd think that LG would put a QVGA on the VX8100 (like the CDM9900) and keep the external display 262K.
The VX8000 takes the best pictures out of all of Verizon's current phone line-up. This is because it has a CCD camera and good lens.
So why does LG downgrade the VX8100 to a CMOS?

Also look at the weight. 4.16 oz for the 8100 vs. 3.88 for the 8000. The new 8100 is smaller (in heighth) which is definitely good, but a little thicker (probably b/c of the mini-SD). Interesting that my Audiovox 8940 has the mini-SD and is alot smaller and lighter than both of these phones. 😲
It is a shame about the loss of the CCD camera. CMOS cameras can take good pics, but not many do. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
smaller size
memory slot
bluetooth
a more attractive shape
maybe this will be out by christmas or 1st quarter of next year
comparing the 8940 and the 8000/8100 is like comapring a kia to a caddilac. whoever made that comparison needs to research.
Anybody who's anybody knows that American cars are very poorly engineered and built. Some may get lucky and get one that lasts a while and is problem free, but it's not typical. Results may vary, but good results arent typical.
