Verizon's roster of color-screen phones is gradually expanding, and with the arrival of LG's VX4400, customers now have another alternative to Motorola's popular T720. Is the LG a better choice? Well, it's not quite as dashing as the Motorola, but it arguably has a superior user interface, a nicer dial pad, and better battery life. In terms of features, however, the two phones are similar.
 The VX4400 doesn't have a built-in speakerphone like Audiovox's CDM-9500, but it does have a fairly solid feature set. You'll find a 199-name phone book, a calendar, a calculator, voice-activated dialing, two-way text messaging, voice notes and tags, caller ID, call logs, e911 compatibility, 26 ring tones, and a vibrating alert.
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.
