LG's VX8000 3G cameraphone

Bernie Yee attended LG's press event for their new VX8000 cellphone and sent us back this report:

LG hasn't ignored its US audience — they're showing off the VX8000 cellphone stateside. The 1.3 megapixel camera
is nice, even if it is becoming somewhat standard today among high-end US phones. And though it's somewhat bulky
compared to some of LG's other clamshell phones, it will probably be the flagship EV-DO phone on a major cellular
carrier's 3G network rollout (so far, Verizon and Sprint have committed to building EV-DO networks). Connected to a
high-speed EV-DO network you'll be able to use the VX8000 to play music and video on demand; LG has yet to finalize
the phone's internal memory, but it's allegedly "impressive". 64MB would be 'impressive' for a cellphone these days,
but we'd venture that 128MB is more likely given the demands of multimedia.

The best part is that the LG 8000 will support PC connectivity with a simple USB connection; you'll bask in
DSL-like speeds without having to find a WiFi hotspot — at least when EV-DO finally rolls out across the country over
the next couple of years. Bad dog, no biscuit to LG for not integrating Bluetooth into the LG 8000.
