Product DescriptionThe LG Versa for Verizon Wireless provides the best of two mobile technologies, combining a 3-inch touchscreen featuring tactile feedback with an attachable QWERTY keypad for easy typing of long messages and email while on the go. This phone is compatible with the V Cast Music and V CAST Music with Rhapsody services, which enables you to purchase songs through your phone and download them via Verizon's fast EV-DO data network. You'll also benefit from the phone's A-GPS receiver, which enables you to access Verizon's VZ Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions. Additionally, the Versa is compatible with the Mobile Broadband Connect service, allowing you to use the phone as a modem for your laptop.
Other features include a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, multi-format digital audio player, Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion (up to 16 GB), a full HTML browser with support for Flash and RSS feeds, Visual Voicemail, and up to 4.8 hours of talk time.
Verizon Wireless Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to the Internet and Verizon Wireless multimedia services (additional charges applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about where EV-DO coverage is offered.) The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.
In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can be played.
Phone Features
The LG Versa is an elegant candybar-style touchscreen phone that also includes an attachable QWERTY keyboard for those times when you need to type a lot of messages while on the go. The 3-inch touchscreen (240 x 480 pixels, 262K colors) features an animated 3D interface and you can customize up to three home screens with favorite features and applications. The built-in accelerometer rotates the screen automatically from portrait to landscape, and you can use rotation movements to steer games. An ambient light sensor controls the brightness on the LCD according to surrounding light, and a proximity sensor turns LCD off when placing a call. The touchscreen also offers a virtual QWERTY keyboard.
The phone securely attaches to the folding QWERTY keyboard, which helps protect the screen. When attached to the keyboard, the leather-like back of the phone includes a secondary monochrome OLED screen that provides quick access to current time, signal strength, and battery life.
This phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), which makes pairing with the included headset as well as other Bluetooth devices a snap. With EDR, you'll get a faster connection that makes transferring files and using the phone as a modem for your laptop hum along nicely. And with the embedded A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones or other compatible devices. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server (additional charges applicable).
The 2-megapixel camera offers five resolution options--1600 x 1200 (default), 1280 x 960, 800 x 400, 640 x 480, 320 x 240 pixels--and a 2x digital zoom. It offers advanced features including face detection, SmartPic Technology (which helps to compensate face color), customizable brightness and white balance settings, multiple shutter sounds (including silent), and a self-timer. After snapping your pics, you can use the image editor to zoom, rotate, crop, add frames and icons, and write over images. This phone also captures videos with sound in three resolutions--640 x 480, 320 x 240, 176 x 144 pixels (default)--and you can choose to record 30-second videos for sending via messaging or up to an hour for saving to your PC.
The digital audio player offers compatibility for MP3, WMA and unprotected AAC/AAC+ formats, and the phone allows you to multitask while playing music--hide player to send messages, edit contacts, and browse the Web. You can create and manage playlists right on the phone and the library can be organized by artist, genre and album. This phone also has a music-only mode (or flight mode) where the cellular radio is turned off, enabling you to still play music (Bluetooth connectivity is still operable).
The HTML Web browser includes Flash and RSS feed support, and you can keep up to three windows open and switch from one window to the other to view pages. You'll be able to keep up with your personal email with built-in connections to MSN Hotmail, AOL, and Yahoo! accounts. In addition to SMS text and MMS multimedia messaging, you can also access popular instant messaging (IM) services (AIM, MSN, Yahoo!). T9 predictive text entry technology makes it easier for entering text while composing email and text messages.
