No, it doesn’t have a cool name like Razr or Krazr but the new LG VX8600 phone we just got is really sweet.

It has a slim form factor with extraordinarily bright and crisp screens. Comes with a built in MP3 player with touch controls on the cover even though I don’t know how to get music on it from my Mac yet. It has a camera, video camera and can play many types of media. It’s even Bluetooth enabled. This was of great news to me as my iMac was able to see it and I could send my address book contacts to it. That’s much easier than trying to type them all in on the phone.

A few weeks back my wife broke her ankle and I started working from home more to help her out. The main problem with that was that all we have is cell phones. A few meetings on the cell phone and we’d be over our minutes. So I checked out Skype and found it to be cheap, reliable and amazing phone service.
