After locking down pretty much the entire story on the VX8575, from the first shots to a launch date, PhoneArena has gone ahead and sealed the deal with a pre-announcement hands on.
Here’s what we walk away knowing:
- Dimensions are (roughly) 4.25”H x 2.15”W x 0.40”D
- The handset they were testing came with two soft-touched battery covers: one purple, one black.
- The touchscreen is resistive, but “works rather well and responds to even the slightest touch”
- They’ve confirmed the 3.5mm jack and FM radio.
Not bad, LG – but we’re still wagging a finger at Verizon for not nabbing the BL40.
