ProductCritic: LG VX8600 Reviews

CNET (80)

The LG VX8600 is a stylish successor to the LG VX8500 Chocolate, and, dare we say, a lot nicer in terms of navigation and feel. If you’re wary of the Chocolate’s quirky touchpad but still want a Chocolate-like phone in a clamshell design, you could do well to give the VX8600 a try.

For those looking for a handset that combines style and multimedia power with ease of use, the LG VX8600 is the clamshell to own. This is now our favorite V CAST phone.

It’s the best balance of high-end looks and decent voice quality on Verizon, though it has some notable flaws.

The VX8600 is a combination of all the good the Chocolate had to bring, yet is in a slim flip phone that is the size of the RAZR. The body construction and looks of the phone are very stylish, the music player works well, camera is adequate, and call quality is good. We were also disappointed that the VX8600 does not use the same higher quality QVGA display that is on the Chocolate.

Though we appreciate the smooth design and impressive video playback of the LG VX8600, every other feature on the phone (a follow-up to LG’s VX8500 Chocolate) is playing catch-up. Overall, we can’t help but feel the VX8600 has been outclassed by other phones, such as the Nokia 5300 or LG’s own CU500.
