LG VX88000 Venus

If you find most Verizon Wireless phones a little boring, try the LG Venus. Its unusual dual screens one a standard display, one a touch screen add a bit of thrill to this versatile, capable phone.

The name evokes a Roman goddess, a Bananarama song, and a lady's razor, so you can pretty much assume it's targeted at women.

Its design takes cues from jewelry and fashion. It has metallic, mirrored, and stippled accents on the front and a faux leather back. The Venus isn't thin, but it's no LG Voyager size boat, either. It'll fit fine in a purse. It feels solid, and the sliding keypad moves smoothly.
