Verizon Announces VX8100 Music Upgrade
Sep 6, 2005, 10:22 AM by (staff)
Verizon today announced that owners of the LG VX8100 can bring their phone into Verizon stores for a software upgrade. The upgrade will allow users to load mp3s onto a memory card and play them back on the phone. The VX8100 features music playback controls beneath the phone's external screen, but shipped without an mp3 player. It is rumored the phone will be compatible with Verizon's music download service when it launches early next year. Verizon is clearly bracing itself for the buzz that will be created by the launch of Motorola's iTunes phone on Cingular.

that sounds like a lot of the phone companies.
Ok, I'm a little confused here, help me out:
If the phone does NOT have an MP3 player, what's the use of putting mp3s on a card if there is no way of playing them?

What are you talking about GREED? The software upgrade to add the mp3 player is free and is already installed on any of the phones that are sold now. Giving something for free is not greedy, at least not that last time I checked.
As far as corp...
