The VX series of LG phones have established a reputation for being very high on multimedia and very stylish in looks and the VX8300 is no different amalgamating a host of brilliant multimedia features like mega pixel cameras, superior MP3 qualities and of course camcorder capabilities.
On the connectivity front, the phone comes with EV-DO high speed internet capabilities which will make it one of the good phones for net on the move. The overall design of the phone is on the conservative side and will make people who are not comfortable with a prominent antenna in their cell phone design, stay away from the phone. Some quick-to-access buttons on the side of the phone which can be operated even with the flip closed, is a very notable feature which will find favor with many users.
The 1.3 mega pixel camera clicks decent pictures but the video clip recording was quite grainy and found wanting in many aspects including screen resolution. A phone whose design will catch you eye and features will impress you but might make you think real hard before you decide to buy this phone.
What are the “quick access” features of the LGVX8300?
The features of the phone that can be conveniently accessed using fewer numbers of keys are known as “quick access” features. In an LGVX8300, the following features are available for “quick access”.
o To set the phone to vibrate – From the regular ringer mode, if you want to shift to the vibrate mode, press the * key and hold it for a few seconds. To revert to ringer mode, repeat the same.
o To lock your phone – To lock your phone in an instant to make it inaccessible for unauthorized entry, press and hold the # key for three seconds. To unlock, select the soft key on the right and enter the password. The default password to lock your phone is the final four digits of your mobile number.
o To activate the mute function – The mute function prevents the caller from listening to your voice during a call. To activate it, press the soft key on the left. To deactivate it, press the same key again.
o To adjust volume of phone – Quick adjustments to volumes of earpiece and ringer can be made by pressing the keys on the left side of the phone. The side key on top increase the ringer volume and the bottom side key decreases the ringer volume. The volume of the earpiece can be increased or decreased only while a call is in progress and to adjust the volume of the key tone, you have to necessarily access the menu and not the side keys. To turn off all sounds simultaneously, select and hold the lower side key for 3 seconds with the flip open. Revert to normal mode by doing the same with the upper side key.
o To switch between calls – This is a service provider-dependent function. So, if call waiting is activated, a beep is heard during one call which indicates another incoming call and this call be received by pressing the left “SEND” key while holding the earlier call. After attending to the second call, doing the same again will revert you to the previous call.
