LG VX8600
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LG VX8600 was released by Verizon Wireless in late 2006, after the Chocolate. The clamshell design of the phone and slim design make it a hefty competitor against the Motorola RAZR and KRZR. According to Verizon Wireless's website, it measures 3.89 inches tall, 1.93 inches wide, and .58 inches thick. For size reference, the RAZR is wider, but .57 inches thick. The KRZR is about a half inch taller and .67 inches thick. The LG VX8600 is Verizon's 2nd thinnest phone and has most features, such as Vcast, VZ Navigator (Verizon's new GPS Service) Bluetooth, Video Messaging, and Chaperone Parent to track your child's Migo phone. It is also an MP3 player. It costs $130 with a rebate and 2 year contract. Otherwise, it costs approx. $280.
This phone was also released by Alltel. From that service, it is available in three colors: marine blue, shimmering gold, and apple green. However, this version is called the AX8600.
