Verizon LG VX8360 out now

January 15th, 2009

Verizon have just launched the LG VX8360 which apparently is a dream come true for music lovers

Download V CAST music with Rhapsody and then crank up the tunes with the dual speakers for stereo sound.

Oh yeah, you can make calls with it too! Here are the rest of the VX8360′s features for you to drool over before cranking it up.

* music player handles MP3, WMA, AAC & AAC+ formats
* Sync Music from PC to Phone
* microSD slot for up to 8 GB of tunes
* Text, Picture, Video & Voice Messaging
* Mobile Email, Mobile Web Email, Mobile IM & Chat
* VZ Navigator Capable
* Chaperone® Parent/Child
* Bluetooth connectivity
* 1.3 Mp 1280 x 960 res camera with video capture
* 1.9 GHz CDMA PCS, 800 MHz CDMA
* High–Speed EV–DO data transmission
* 3.64″ (H) x 1.91″ (W) x 0.78″ (D)
* 3.35 oz
* Internal 240 x 320 res 2.00 inch display
* External 96 x 96 res 1.17 inch display

How about the price, we hear you ask? Well, if you attach a two year plan then this little sucker will set you back a mere US$50 after a mail-in rebate. Unshackled on a month by month plan the VX8360 will set you back $240. Not bad for a nice looking unit, we just feel this end of the market is a bit swamped at the moment and despite its appeal to music fans, the VX8360 may well get lost in a sea of cheap cellphones. Shame really.
