Product summary
The good: Sharp color screen; works on 1xRTT networks; downloads apps and ring tones; nice keypad; solid battery life; GPS ready.
The bad: External LCD stays lit when charging.
The bottom line: The VX4400 may not be superslick, but all around, it's a solid, color-screen flip phone with a reasonable price tag.

| Pocket-friendly: Slightly larger than a pack of gum, the VX4400 is compact. |
 |
| Love it! The rocker key denotes the calendar with a heart icon. |
Our one gripe is with the charger. Again, LG has chosen to go with an AC adapter and a desktop charger rather than a more compact travel charger that plugs directly into the phone. It's not a major gripe, but it means you have to carry two pieces instead of one when traveling. The phone also comes with a belt-clip holster.

 Accessories included: The VX4400 comes with a nifty holster. |

The VX4400 is 1xRTT compatible, so you can browse the wireless Web at relatively high data rates (in theory, about 56Kbps) using Openwave's browser, which we like because it offers caching technology. Still, don't expect instantaneous connections; performance continues to lag a bit in this area.
Like the Motorola T720 and the Audiovox CDM-9500, this LG is BREW enabled; for a small fee, you can download applications, MIDI ring tones, wallpaper, and games (which will come in handy with the color screen) via Get It Now. We had no problem downloading several games, including JAMDAT's just-released baseball app, which is mildly amusing.
|
 Big and bulky: LG includes the desktop charger. |
| |
Battery life was also respectable for a color-screen phone. Using the backlight judiciously, we were able to surpass the rated talk time of 3 hours by 30 minutes. We should note this is superior to the T720's numbers (with standard battery installed). LG says you can get up 110 hours of standby time, but we managed to surpass that number by 12 hours.
