An upgrade to the popular VX8360, the LG VX8360 for Verizon Wireless slims
flattens out the curves of this clamshell phone just a bit while packing in even
more music possibilities via the V CAST Music with Rhapsody service, which
combines the over-the-air downloads of V CAST Music with the popular Rhapsody
service available on your Windows-based PC. The phone even includes dual stereo
speakers so you can listen to tunes without wearing headphones. You'll also
enjoy fast downloads via Verizon Wireless's fast EV-DO data network.
The phone's A-GPS receiver enables you to access Verizon Wireless's VZ
Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions and you can also choose the option
for the Verizon Wireless Chaperone service, which enables parents to quickly
locate kids on-the-go from a home PC. Other features include a 1.3-megapixel
camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for handsfree communication and stereo music
streaming, MicroSD memory expansion (up to 8 GB), access to mobile email and
instant messaging services, and up to 5.25 hours of talk time.
Verizon Wireless Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to
the Internet and Verizon Wireless multimedia services (additional charges
applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak
rates up to 2 Mbps. The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs
instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the
files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of
the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your
phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your
account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast
Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.
In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with
the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access
this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V
CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to
three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs
and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are
able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of
digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can
be played.
The V Cast Video service enables you to stream or download video clips to
your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels,
including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1.
With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access the Verizon Wireless VZ
Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted
turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million
points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and
detailed color maps. And the Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved
ones from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone,
such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via
text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.
Getting on the Internet is easy using the Verizon Wireless Mobile Web 2.0
package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages
and view your favorite web content on your phone. The Verizon Wireless Media
Center wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This
pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity
tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the
Media Center service.
The Verizon Wireless Dashboard
Dashboard is an easy-to-use application, which acts as the primary platform for
discovering, purchasing, and personalizing multimedia content and services on
your device. It provides access to personalized channels like V CAST Music &
Video, Mobile Web, ringtones, games and more.
Phone Features
The VX8360 features a traditional clamshell design with a large 2-inch 240 x
320-pixel internal display with support for 256K colors, as well as an external
TFT LCD with a 96 x 96-pixel resolution (for displaying incoming call
information, battery life, signal strength, graphics, photos and more). Music
playback control keys are also located on the front cover. Most of the phone's
features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the
handset's backlit control pad.
The VX8360's built-in address book can store up to 1000 contacts for quick
and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. Meanwhile, a speed
dialing feature allows you to dial up to 99 numbers virtually instantaneously.
The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert.
Ringtones can be assigned to specific callers so you don't have to look at the
phone to know who's calling, or you can match pictures with callers to identify
them.
This phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1
+ EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), which makes pairing with the included headset as
well as other Bluetooth devices a snap. With EDR, you'll get a faster connection
than with the previous version, which makes transferring files and using the
phone as a modem for your laptop hum along nicely. And with the embedded A2DP
Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of Bluetooth stereo
headphones or other compatible devices.
The 1.3-megapixel camera offers three resolution modes (1280 x 960, 640 x
480, 320 x 240) and includes a self-timer (3, 5, and 10 seconds), and white
balance controls. You can also edit images right inside the phone with tools for
zooming, rotating, and cropping. It also records video clips (176 x 144 pixels)
from 30 seconds (for sending via MMS) or up to 1 hour (for saving to memory
card). You can also set videos under 5 MB in size as your screen's wallpaper.
The phone also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to
safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or
organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.
