LG VX4400B Review Based on a Technical Analysis

From , former About.com Guide

LG VX4400B

The LG VX4400B

This LG VX4400B review is based on a technical analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is not based on an actual hands-on review. It outlines the pros and cons of the LG VX4400B. The strongest points are listed with a (+) sign while the weakest points have a (-) sign before them. This LG VX4400B analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and since manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.

  • (+) Weight and Size: The LG VX4400B weighs only 4.0 Oz. This is rather lighter than average and should make it comfortable to carry around
  • (-) Camera: It doesn't have a camera, which is certainly not necessary but may be convenient or fun and make your experience better.

  • (+) Phone Book: It can store 199 phone book entries
  • (-) Built-in Speakerphone: It doesn't feature a built-in speakerphone, yet, a speakerphone is useful in some situations and it's important to know that various other phones do have a built-in speakerphone.

  • (-) Battery Performance: It has only a maximum rated standby time of 110 hours and a talk time of 180 minutes, and it may be too low for your needs, especially if you travel a lot and plan to use your cell phone often
  • (+) Color Display: The color display's color mode is 65,535 and its resolution is unknown. A color display is useful when browsing the wireless web or viewing pictures and, of course, the larger it is, the better the experience and, the more colors, the better your pictures will look.
  • (+) Analog Roaming: It supports analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect).
  • (-) Bluetooth: It is not Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance.
  • (-) Infrared: It doesn't include an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer contacts, ringtones or pictures (if the phone supports these functions) to the LG VX4400B.
  • (+) Voice Note: It has voice notes (4 minutes)). A voice note system is pretty useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.
  • (-) Free Custom Ringtones: . I don't have sufficient information on the LG VX4400B to determine if it can accept free ringtones and, that means you may not be able to add free ringtones, you may be stuck with using your carrier's paid ringtone service. If that is an important issue for you, many other phones allow you to do it yourself and for free, which makes a difference if you're serious about personalization. To help assess this phone's behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list.
