LG VX-8100 - the successor of VX-8000 with Bluetooth???

[dekard]

the monthly fee is the same, you just need a new card\phone...

And I can tell you the ev-do is *noticibly* faster then 1xrtt. you will feel the difference AND measure it if you choose.

when can we expect this phone? Guesstimate? Ive had my NE2 since July and im itching to upgrade!

[Half Decaf]

Ya, LG phones rock!

[CodeyH]

considering it's the successor to the 8000.....that's not out.

I guess it will be mid-late 2005...

Do we know how much Verizon will charge for EVDO? I heard it was about around 80 dollers a month is this true thats ALOT of money and theeir would be no way in hell i would pay that much.. I mean ×××× 39.99 +taxes +price of EVDO+TEC + Text and other goddies most ppl have. Fast is good but if its to much thats also why i have Cingular their internet is fine or me for the price of 7.99 lol..

I have no idea what you're basing your statement on, but LG handsets tend to be of very good quality ---far superior to Motorola, and other brands.

Looking at the picture, the hinge area looks enormus. Is this thing going to have motorized flip or something?

i thought your NE2 expires after a certain number of months? i thought i read it somewhere here on the forums sometime. i may be wrong.

also, i've seen OBEX so many times, but I have no idea what that refers to. Can someone clarify?

hmmm looks promising although I think im still going to like the 8000 better

From looking at the FCC testing pictures it doesn't look like it has an internal camera. I personly don't see the worth of getting a EV-DO phone until you have a camera on the inside and out or a swivel cam for the reason of Video Conferencing.

could it be this phone?

[VZW E]

that looks very simular.....I like the front of it

It's likely we won't see the 8100 until Fall '05.

As for EVDO, I was really excited about the feature because I access the internet on my handset frequently. However, here's my thoughts after using the 8000 for about one month now:

The video clips are cool. However, the only time I ever access them is to show off the phone. I don't use the feature myself.

I don't see any noticeably faster speed accessing the internet on the handset, as compared to 1xrtt.

I love the picture quality, vibrant two screens and speakerphone on the 8000. I dislike the size. I really liked my 7000, I find the 8000 slightly better because of the above mentioned enhanceemts.

It's the 3D side speakers.
