LG Revolution First Impressions

First Impressions So far, the Revolution hasn't been very revolutionary. LG missed a prime opportunity to knock it out of the park with an awesome superphone on the nation's largest wireless carrier. Revolution is watered down with a somewhat confusing...

"Hey, HTC One owners! Is there anything you would change about the One?"

Desmond Crouthers I have mine in an otter box it keeps it safe and when I need to show people I take it out. But the HTC case is also pretty good double deep

Rindy Croix please review on case/cover.. still considering to put it or not

Desmond Crouthers I love my phone maybe they can make a bigger screen like note 2 but even with the size of screen it's still a great phone. The 1080p is nice overall this phone gets a score of 10 it's a fine phone

Jared Johnson The One is the best phone I have owned. My last phone, the GSIII was great, but the One is better all around. There are some quirks with the gallery and sharing photos that could be fixed. (mentioned above) Even my iphone 5 friends are feeling a little left behind. :-)

John C. Cole I'm wondering if the successor to the One might be called the "Two," or if they will simply make the name even shorter, like the "O".
