LG VX8700 Shine Folder for Verizon Wireless

Snapshot by Brad Kellett on Monday March 26, 2007.

While in Orlando, Florida for CTIA Wireless 2007 today, we were able to get a sneak peak at a new LG handset bound for the US market, the VX8700. The LG VX8700 carries on the theme of the metallic LG Shine handset and combines it with a design not dissimilar to the previously released VX8600.

While we don't have full specifications to share with you just yet, the LG VX8700 is destined for Verizon Wireless, with an official announcement coming in the not too distant future. The LG VX8700 includes a 2.0 megapixel camera, though unfortunately lacks the touch sensitive music keys of its older brother, the VX8600. The LG VX8700 was running a stylish version of Verizon's UI to match the overall design of the device.
