Will we ever Shine?

So I'm sure I'm not the only person who is hating the fact that LG will not be releasing the LG Shine to the U.S. anytime soon. I've seen so many sellers on ebay and users on forums bragging about how great the Shine is with its full metal body, its Schneider Kreuznach auto-focusing camera, or even the expandable micro sd slot (even though its not that big of a deal).

I would love for LG to grace the U.S. with this phone but only time will tell when this masterpiece will be available in the U.S. Maybe one day when we see cows jumping over the moon and pigs flying will this finally be available through a carrier, but until then our only resource to this phone is eBay and AccessoryGeeks.com for all our accessory needs.

Do you EnV??

LG had a huge following when it released the LG VX9800 to Verizon not to long ago. Being that it was a phone and a multimedia station, it caught the attention of a majority of Verizon's younger users. The phone allowed us to listen to music download content and most importantly it allowed us to use AIM, which was huge for Verizon since T-Mobile released the Sidekick, which took the world by storm.
The LG EnV (VX9900) is the follow up to the VX9800 and it sticks to the same formula that made the previous phone so successful. The EnV is not to be confused with a smart phone, the EnV is essentially just a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard that makes text messaging and navigation throughout the phone a breeze. It also incorporates high-end features such as a removable microSd memory card slot, an MP3 and video download via VCast and it also incorporates a fairly large internal display with speakers. The EnV is a pretty neat little device by Verizon’s standards and it does show that Verizon is taking the necessary steps in capturing a younger market by offering phones that they might actually like, something that Verizon was lacking in the past. The EnV is a must get if you’re an individual that utilizes all the features that the EnV has to offer and accessories are readily available at AccessoryGeeks.com. For the price I personally think you get more bang for your buck with the EnV compared to any other Verizon phone on the market.

Get your shin on with LG's VX-8700

The Lg VX-8700 is similar to the 8600 which is basically a flip version of the popular LG Chocolate. I personally like the finish of the VX-8700 over both phones because I'm more of the steel finish type of person. Even though the VX-8700 and the VX-8600 are basically the same phone, the overall quality and look of the 8700 is beyond the 8600. Not much has changed between the phones except for a sleek vertical external display that is found on the VX-8700 as opposed to the music player controls found on the outside of the VX-8600.

The LG VX-8700 does use a micro sd memory card to support the included music player and also incorporates stereo blue tooth. For many of you who love the VX-8600 but want more of a eye-catching phone, then the LG VX-8700 is the phone for you.

LG vx8300 reviewed by Geeks part 1

Verizon Wireless the nation’s largest and strongest Network provider and LG recently launched an update to the VX8100 music phone with the new introduction of the lighter (3.88oz/110g) LG VX8300. While the VX8300 retains much of the previous specifications as of its predecessor the LG VX8100, the added tweaks both in hardware and design are appreciated, especially the weight issues. Instantaneously when taking a closer look at the new LG VX8300. I could immediately decipher that its eye-catching metallic gray clam-shell was sturdy and durable, but hey not indestructible.

Like the LG VX8100, the LG VX8300 EV-DO handset includes illuminating music control keys on the outside of the flip on the VX8300 signifying the phone’s marketability as an MP3 phone. The LG VX8300 also has built-in stereo speakers and GPS radio capability making the LG VX8300 a versatile music power device. I mean GPS radio, WOW! The rewind, play/pause, and fast-forward buttons are ergonomically positioned so to provide optimal operational efficiency of the music capabilities in the LG VX8300 itself. A new feature that the LG designers added to the LG VX8300 is the ability to expand memory using microSD memory expansion technology over the previous model's miniSD. Now all you LG lovers and Verizon customers can expand your memory capabilities and have a greater degree of freedom & wireless mobility to share or listen to various music media anywhere you go.
