I have no idea what you're basing your statement on, but LG handsets tend to be of very good quality ---far superior to Motorola, and other brands.
From looking at the FCC testing pictures it doesn't look like it has an internal camera. I personly don't see the worth of getting a EV-DO phone until you have a camera on the inside and out or a swivel cam for the reason of Video Conferencing.
As for EVDO, I was really excited about the feature because I access the internet on my handset frequently. However, here's my thoughts after using the 8000 for about one month now:
The video clips are cool. However, the only time I ever access them is to show off the phone. I don't use the feature myself.
I don't see any noticeably faster speed accessing the internet on the handset, as compared to 1xrtt.
I love the picture quality, vibrant two screens and speakerphone on the 8000. I dislike the size. I really liked my 7000, I find the 8000 slightly better because of the above mentioned enhanceemts.
