LG VX9800 (Verizon Wireless)
The good:
Full QWERTY keyboard; high-quality displays; EV-DO capable; MP3 player; Mini SD card slot; 1.3-megapixel camera; Bluetooth; loud stereo speakers/speakerphone; voice-recognition features.
The bad:
Bulky; awkward camera ergonomics; small navigation controls; tiny screen type; tinny, metallic voice quality.
The bottom line:
A QWERTY keyboard makes messaging faster, easier, and more fun on the fully loaded LG VX9800, but the trade-off is a bulky, less-than-cool handset.
