Perhaps where most of the feature of the VX6000 lie. The Settings Menu
allows you to access and change all the features of the phone.
To get more wallpaper or ring tones, Verizon has BREW platform technology.
BREW allows users to use the Get It Now feature to download content at up
to 230.4 kpbs. Most applications are subscription based and run on average
anywhere between $3-5. The BREW platform also functions as a gaming client.
BREW games can also be purchased and downloaded. What BREW brings is the
convenience of getting applications without having to navigate through WAP
at the expensive of a view extra dollars. Depending if you're inexperienced
or an expert, BREW could make your life easier or be a pain.
The VX6000 has the ability to function as a modem also. Connect a laptop
to it and use the phone to send faxes or connect you to the internet. A
LG1200 data cable and Verizon Dialer software is required for the connection.
Voice Services has many great features too. The VX6000 has voice dialing.
Just record the voice dial command and save it. Train Words lets the phone
learn how you talk. So it knows when you're issuing a voice command and
when you're just talking. The Answering Machine saves your message when
you're not around. But a great feature is you can listen in on the person
while the phone is recording, just like a real answering machine. That way
you can screen your calls before you pick up.
