DIDN'T LIKE THIS PHONE

Overall Rating:
2.7 out of 5
By: Donna G on Sunday, August 23, 2009
From: W Central, IL (United States)
Experience: 15 Days
Pros: Size, Sliding Querty Keyboard

Cons: Touch screen controls.

Summary: The touch screen on this phone was "all over the place". Sometimes it would work great; other times not well at all. Had a hard time getting contacts to come up, and many times (when you touched a contact name) the phone would scroll down instead of bringing up the contact. Irritating to say the least. I tried the phone for 2 weeks and then returned it for a Samsung Propel. No more touch screen for me!

Lg Xenon iz it iz it really the Bomb??? LOL

Cons: screen not that great, keys very close.

Summary: I love this phone but it needs just a lil work I would really recommend this to any techno Geek like my self.

From: Niagara Falls, Ontario (Canada)
Experience: 3 Weeks
Pros: Good screen,Great multitaskin button :)
and nice size/wieght

Cons: small keys(but easy to get used to

Summary: its a nice little device that has the best of both worlds, touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard. The camera is really nice to start with and the flash makes it even better. Although everytime i drop it a new scratch occurs, but thats hardly the phones problem (more like my slippery hands ,;)) i would recomend this phone as a cheap alternative to something like the samsung impression

Great phone

Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Qwerty keyboard slide phone, lots of features, Clear camera and video, and easy use etc.

Cons: Some of the keys are unevenly lite but its the way it was assembled. not a big deal.

Summary: I really love this phone its nice and sleek small and thin over the samsung impression this phone to me is alot smaller. The battery life is good. Great phone I would recommend to anyone.

Just another Xenon review

By: Not Available on Tuesday, May 26, 2009
From: Kansas City, MO (United States)
Experience: 13 Days
Pros: Great size, weight, and all-around functionality. Love the flash in the camera.

Cons: No zoom at all on the camera. The fact that the Caps and Fn keys aren't of the one-time/letter variety in QWERTY mode is simply silly. That should be a user definable setting in the over-all setup or an option under "Text Entry Settings" at the least.

Summary: I returned the LG Vu because of many more not-fixable problems, but LG and AT&T have a great phone here, and it seems like the "Shift" issue should be a simple software fix (perhaps a "hold-down for a caplital lettler [like Blackberry has]), so they ought to be able to show the customers that they care enough to fix it.

The Xenon

Overall Rating:
3.8 out of 5
By: Hlugie Kedikilwe on Tuesday, May 05, 2009
From: NOVA, VA (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Great look, touch and keyboard.
THeres a Multitasking key--Love it, very useful
Great, useful features

Cons: -the keypads could be a bit better
-Dont like the games much

Summary: I absolutely love this phone. Although Ive heard that the touch screen will start losing its quality after a couple of months but Im willing to stick w it because its cheaper and is cooler i think than the Impression. The home screen has really cool features: the favorites, and u can create easy access groups of the ppl u call the most, and theres options of apps u can add to the home screen such as calendar, music, alarm, and my favorite, a PostIt note where u can type reminders to have on ur home screen.
Like I said this phone is great for anyone who's not big on the super specs of a smart phone like the Impression.

plus the photo editor is incredible, like having a miniphotoshop on my phone :D
