Inside the flip is a 176 x 220 screen or a 2.0 inch diagonal display. The display looks rich, luxuriant and teeming with colors literally popping up from the screen. Backlight and font size settings can be modified but this Verizon phone still has the boring standard Verizon menu interface which could reduce your excitement a bit.

The keypad is very user friendly and every single key seems to be tactically placed with a pleasant curved texture. The keypad consists of a five-way toggle doubling up as shortcuts to four user defined functions, two soft keys, Send and End/Power keys, a Clear key as well as a dedicated speakerphone key.

The phone is similar to VX8300 with respect to its features. There are a couple of refinements and upgrades here and there including the smooth design and richer displays. A total of 1000 entries can be stored in your phonebook with multiple details for every contact. Photo caller ID’s, special ringtone alerts, voice command facilities and notepad are some other features available with this mobile. While taking or attending a call, the built in “Voice Clarity” mode automatically adjusts the voice level based on surrounding noise. You also have the option of accessing your email from the mobile phone. Also included is the web browser for viewing rich Internet content, EVDO support, and Stereo Bluetooth. More notable features are support for a wide array of Bluetooth profiles including A2DP, FTP, HSP, PBA, HFP, DUN, BIP, OPP (vCard only), BPP and AVRC as well as using the phone as a USB Mass Storage mode. Using Bluetooth, you can transfer files or use the phone as a modem. The 1.3 mega pixel camera takes images of a very good quality with sharp and vivid colors. Though there is no flash, several other options such as night mode and photometry/spot meter modes are notable. Three resolutions of 1,280 x 960, 640 x 480, and 320 x 240 are available for photo mode but only 176 x 144 pixels is available for taking videos. Hence, video quality is a bit low and “pixelated” as compared to taking stills.

The LG VX8350 has a host of options for personalization. You can personalize many areas such as the wallpaper, ringtone, backlight timing etc. There is a wide range of accessories available too. Many dedicated buttons for various features are present, such as the ones for enabling camera, speaker phone and music. Downloading content from the Internet is possible, including games, wallpapers and ringtones. Streaming content can also be viewed in the VX8350. EVDO speeds ensure high streaming video quality and with little or no buffering. The battery life of this phone is about 4 hours of talk time with about 9 days of standby time which is pretty decent for mobiles today. Averaging $250 in the market, this phone is a good bargain and is a must-buy for those who want a good host of features in a stylish package.
