LG Venus or LG VX8800 is a 2007 slider/touch screen cell phone by LG Electronics. It is a part of the VX series, which is sold exclusively to Verizon Wireless in the United States. The phone has a sliding design and features a touch screen for the bottom third of the screen. It features a 2-megapixel camera. Pre-ordering began on November 8, 2007, and the release date for Verizon Wireless was November 19, 2007. The phone features a music player, Bluetooth capabilities, up to an 8 GB microSD slot, video messaging, speaker phone and voice command, among other features. It is considered by many to be a spiritual successor to LG's popular "Chocolate" line, which includes the previous VX8500 and VX8550 handsets.
