The LG VX9800
So, looking around on the forums this handset should be shipping sometime in mid-October. That's very promising, because...
I recently got to get my sticky hands on one. Of course, I can't really say anything about it and since it's not even on phonescoop anymore, I won't comment much on it at all.
However, what I can say, is that it's my kind of phone. It better come out cheaper than a Treo. A lot cheaper. Assuming it does, though, it's in my must-have category.
The screen is absolutely amazing. Much better than what was on the CDM-9900. The camera quality is pretty decent. It is much like the camera on the VX8000 (but not the VX8100).
The LG VX9800 isn't for everyone, though. It's basically the same thickness as an Audiovox CDM-8940, but a fair bit longer. Then you open it up and it's quite large. However, that size is put to very good use. MobileIM on it is a dream. ;)
Well, anyway, before I start getting into details that might give stuff away, I should leave with: I hope developers consider making special versions of their games and apps for the phone to fully leverage it's amazing capabilities.

Well, I meant to post about this earlier in the week. I get a lot of search hits for information on the VX9800 -- and even emails. Now there at least is a place for some of the details of... [Read More]

I would LOVE more details if you wouldn't mind sending them via email. I promise to be discreet. ;)
I've heard rumors about wireless sync of for use as a PIM... calendar, tasks, etc. Do you have any idea about that? I'm assuming BT sync is crippled again, but what about a verizon sync service? Any info would be great.

Ah, another VX9800 lover. ;)
Mmm, rumours of wireless sync. Yes, indeed. Wouldn't everyone like to know if I can use BT to send contacts back and forth between my laptop and it -- and other phones. You know, like an ol' Nokia can these days (even the Nokia 6255i).
That might just be too much information. But then again, would it surprise anyone to learn that BT-DUN was off on this handset? Probably not.
And now that at least one person seems to have read this, it's probably more important to be quiet about any rumoured syncing capabilities I may or may not have been surprised to see.
Sorry. ;)
