Review: LG eXpo from AT&T

Stephen Borders — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 20:50:53 +0000

Since the release of Windows Mobile 6.5 and the subsequent release of the new Windows phones, I have had the privilege of reviewing two offerings by AT&T. The HTC Pure (Touch Diamond 2) and the Tilt2 (Touch Pro2), both of which I found to be good in their own rights with the Tilt2 being the better of the two in my opinion because of the hardware keyboard and larger screen. Since then I have also received the LG eXpo to review.

LG eXpo Back In Stock

Stephen Borders — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:58:29 +0000

After being out of stock for a couple of weeks AT&T is now showing it available again. The Projector is still MIA though. After a week and a half of using it I have found some things I like and some I don’t. If you have any questions about the device, post them here and I will be sure to include them in my review. Stay tuned for my full review in a few days.

Video : LG’s 1st Android Phone, The LG GW620

Chris Leckness — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:29:58 +0000

Oh, it’s a cute commercial. Someone on Twitter turned me on to the video saying that LG is marketing to preschoolers with this one. I think I have to agree, but it is cute and the phone looks nice. I will add it to the list of desired phones that I want to check out, right behind the Cliq and the Droid.

What do you think, too cutesy?

LG Announces an Android Phone, Gets in Line.

Zealot — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:46:23 +0000

Forget “iPhone Killers”, those are so last month…the new fashion seems to be “Cliq Killers”.

Despite continuing to shout about it’s upcoming THIRTEEN Windows Mobile phones (“Love us, Redmond, LOVE USSSS!!!!!”), LG found the time to announce an Android handset that follows the now standard sliding QWERTY touchscreen model so that it looks like…well…like a Moto Cliq.

Originally leaked as the Etna, LG is now calling the phone the GW620 and are not giving up any specs yet beyond a three inch touchscreen and Android baked right in. However, it is rumored to feature a 5MP camera, GPS, HSPDA and WiFi and to be destined for a European release.

The phone looks sharp if a bit familiar, and though it is no iPhone I bet Steve Ballmer would pretend to step on it for you if you took his picture with it.

LG the New HTC?

Zealot — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:14:45 +0000

Now that HTC is moving more and more towards Android based phones, who will take up the slack in terms of Windows Mobile smartphones? Well, how about Korean up-and-comer LG?

Already the world’s third-largest mobile phone vendor according to their press release, LG announced today they will be launching three new phones over the next few weeks, all slated to run Windows Mobile 6.5 (due for release October 6th) No further word from LG about phone specs or what carriers and markets they will be released for.

As regards Windows Mobile 6.5, LG said that the new OS will “make it easier for users to navigate the Web”…which may be something of an oversimplification from what we have seen of WinMo 6.5 but certainly speaks directly to one of the main things consumers look for in a phone these days.

LG isn’t stopping with these first three however. The company says that they intend to launch a total of 13 new Windows Mobile phones around the world by the end of 2010. 13 phones in 16 months isn’t bad at all, and may very easily be enough to wrest the title of Windows Mobile Champion from HTC as well as giving them “Favored Vendor Status” once Windows Mobile 7 rolls around.

LG Windows Mobile App Store

Marilyn Torres — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:51:23 +0000

Since my main handset is a WinMo-running HTC Tilt, I’m looking forward to trying out LG’s sampling of Windows Mobile applications. From different categories all the way down to the all-important “Free” category, LG’s app store seems to have all its basis covered.

LG has launched an application store for their Windows Mobile phones, with a catalogue of 1400 tested apps, which LG hopes to expand to 2000 by the end of the year. Initially aimed at the Asia Pacific region, the service will first be offered in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Australia and will reach Europe and the South America by the end of this year.

While stateside users can browse through the site, registration is limited to our overseas mobile kindred. I’ll be keeping close eye out for when LG expands their user pool westward, but until then applications like Tipster, SPB software, and Ilium’s offerings many of the listed apps can be found elsewhere on the interwebs.

Girl Crowned US Texting Champ, End of World is Nigh

Zealot — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 11:10:58 +0000

CNN is reporting (via Textually.org) that a 15 year old Iowa girl, Kate Moore, has won the L.G. National Texting Championship held in NYC last week. The girl won $50,000 for overcoming such texting challenges as accurately texting such thumb-killing phrases as "Which wicked witch wished which more wicked witch in the well?" and "Zippity Dooo Dahh Zippity Ayy…MY oh MY, what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine Comin’ my way….Zippitty Do Dah Zippity Aay! Wonderful Feeling Wonderful day!" while being distracted by “Human Emoticons” trashtalking them or running obstacle courses.

LG has been using texting in much of their recent advertising, including putting a Text to Normal Speech translator “for parents” on their web site. They have been attempting to appeal to a younger demographic by painting TXT as the language of hip youngsters, while we old fuddy duddies still use lots of letters and other silly things in most words.

The girl, whose mother says gets phone bills stretching nearly 300 pages (unlimited data plans, the modern parent’s best friend) agreed to an interview after her victory with CNN…by SMS of course.

The interview (if you believe it wasn’t just a stunt cooked up by CNN and LG) went as follows…

CNN: OMG U r ltrlly the wrld’s bst txter. How does it feel?

Moore: It feels the best! Im so prd of myself & it feels aswm that ive gottn so far! :)

CNN: How mny txts do u snd a day? A month?

Moore: Uhhh about lyk 400-500 in a day, an avrg of 12014 thousand a month?

CNN: Wht r u going to do w the 50 k?

Moore: Idk yet! Prlly spend a good amount of the $$$……but ya gotta save some 2 b smart of course!

CNN: Do u ever get in trubl in skwl 4 txting 2 much?

Moore: haah just once or 2ce, teachers hv seen it and taken it away…lol that sux when that happens tho.

CNN: What’s ur crzst txting story?

Moore: Haha I actually have a scar on my hand from txtingg….i was txting on the top bunk and I sat up cuz it was a cool txt and then I hit it in the ceiling fan

CNN. Do ur thumbs hurt?

Moore: Hahah not at all! Ud b surprised they don’t get stressed out.

CNN: Kthxbi.

Moore: cya! :)

Be afraid….be VERY afraid.

Now if you’ll all excuse me, I have to go and bleach the parts of my mind that understood that.

More Leaked AT&T + WinMo Love. LG Herald (GW600)

Chris Leckness — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:51:35 +0000

Wow. This is a huge leak, It’s provided a ton of info for WinMo fans and I haven’t even read all the info available for non WInMo phones yet. So much info this week. Here is another one, the LG Herald (GW600). This one looks simple and to the point too.

The 1st thing to note is the reasonable OS and dates. It has an interesting 20 key keyboard instead of a full qwerty. Quite interesting really. This wouldn’t do much for me, but for those coming from a feature phone or another without, it would be fine I am sure. It’s running Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, so no touchy for you either. I think Mike Temporale will like this one!

1st Windows Mobile 7 Phone Coming to AT&T?

Chris Leckness — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:37:05 +0000

Maybe so, but I doubt seriously it will be around the time they suggest in the leaked AT&T slide. September? Wow. That is lofty. I think Chris at Engadget said it best, “…but seeing we’ll be lucky to have 6.5 devices in our hands by then, this date has undoubtedly slipped since the slide was made” No way possible in my opinion. That’s not really the point though, the point is that we have info about what will likely be one of the 1st WinMo 7 devices and to top that off, it’s advertised to be using one of them there fancy dancy Snapdragon processors. This is the Qualcomm QSD 8650 Snapdragon CPU that runs at 1ghz. Looking good so far, throw in that slide out keyboard and there is even more excitement in store for WinMo fans!

Look good to you? Me too. Just don’t expect it in 2009 in my opinion.

Versa comes to Verizon on March 1st

Jack Cook — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:12:48 +0000

Now there is something about this device that just catches my eye. Is it the detachable keyboard? I just wish it was running Windows Mobile….

The LG Versa incorporates an accelerometer, supports Flash video and has a virtual keypad. We will also find a “so so” 2.0 megapixel camera with video, a microsSD slot that supports up to 16GB, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR and Wi-Fi. Verizon will sell it for $200 with a two-year wireless subscription.

Tired of carrying your phone?

Jack Cook — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:12:52 +0000

LG has the solution by introducing their 3G HSDPA wrist phone, the LG-GD910 that supports both 3G and HSDPA technology. Pretty cool huh?

Well it is just another “toy” but a darn cool one that got me interested. It has a 1.43-inch color LCD touchscreen and it has a video camera integrated in the watch face for video recording. In addition, it has text-to-speech, Bluetooth, MP3 playback and voice dialing with speech recognition. I hope to see this at CES and I will ask if it is just slated for the European market or will we see it in the USA.
