Review

The LG U 8100 has UMTS and GSM network compatibility. The handset features a mammothian 64 Mb of internal dynamic memory which can be used to store music or images. Music can be listened to by the user using the Mp3 player and images can be shot using the digital video camera (640 x 480 pixels) with 4X zoom. If that is impressive then you dont know the 8100 yet, since the handset it seems has been designed with that thought in mind :
