Time’s Gadget of the Week: LG VX8000

by GadgetManiac on February 9, 2005

The current issue of Time Magazine has the LG VX8000 mobile phone as its ‘Gadget of the Week’.

While the author likes the phone’s streaming video capabilities, he seem somewhat more restrained in his opinion of the phone itself:-

It handles the videos and the games surprisingly well, and both spoken word and music come through its single speaker clearly. I wish it had Bluetooth capability for a wireless headset in the car (something I have trouble living without), and speaker-independent voice dialing for hands-free operation. The built-in 1.3-megapixel camera is a disappointment, too, though its video feature can be entertaining. Those high-tech gripes aside, it’s as reliable as any older LG model. The only real trouble an average user might run into is a low battery, drained by constant download of unlimited video content.

Low battery is the Achilles heel of so many a modern device.
