The LG VX8100 is a mobile phone that was available through Verizon Wireless in 2005 and 2006.
It used Verizon's EV-DO network and was one of the first phones to support V CAST service.
[1] It also featured Bluetooth capability, stereo speakers, and a MiniSD slot.
Some compared it unfavorably to its predecessor, the VX8000, because the VX8100 was heavier, had a shorter battery life, a protruding antenna, a smaller screen, and did not include an analog compatibility mode[1] Another source of criticism was that there were four different firmware versions of the phone—none of which were marked on the box—which made for inconsistent consumer experiences.
[4] Based on call quality, features, and durability the VX8100 continues to retain a great fan base years after initial launch.
