LG eXpo Review

[ithac1234]

does this phone have wifi??

[sophieevaughan]

I have it its amazing :)

[kphillips012]

THIS PHONE IS A P.O.S. way to many software bugs and freezes all the god damn time :) that might have something to do with why it isnt advertised anymore. and im on my 2nd one...woohoo...upgrade wasted

[22EaglesFan]

you can still get it becuz my dad has it

[jrlchicks]

Why can't you buy this anymore! I love this phone but I don't know where to get it.

[superdddeee1]

@jrlchicks ebay

[34aim]

i wonder what ever happend to this phone, cause as soon as it came like a month later i couldnt find it anywhere, and i read it was discontinued

[coasterboi78]

@34aim its now on at&t's website.

[GuitarFreak1901]

@coasterboi78 not anymore they took it off

[aj0mg]

I think I'm gonna get this phone just not the projector.

[MetalShreader]

@aj0mg no dude, I reccomend the HTC Aria if you're going to get a mid range smart phone, because Windows Mobile 6 and lower is already obsolete, if not dead at this point. You'll get more bang for you're buck if you with a Android powered smartphone.

[kphillips012]

@MetalShreader you do know you can upgrade the windows OS via there website right?

[valdivia562]

man i should have gotten this phone instead of my bullshit iphone 3g

[KronoReaper]

thats one huge battery

[Clive716]

where do I buy the projector?? I bought the phone without it a few months ago and i can't find the projector by itself.

[pretzelstickz]

Do you need a data plan for this phone?

[riotzap]

@pretzelstickz yeah, the cheapest is $15 a month for 200 MB

[AGMVSR10]

@pretzelstickz

Would you please tell me if you find out? I have the same question.

[twigeek55]

@AGMVSR10 yes u do its a smart phone

[thephenom1127]

[xHostilePhazex]

does this phone have a facebook app?

[mr5353]

Is this a good phone to get?

[BETMEE]

Im gonna get one in two weeks.... whooooooo lol.... you rock phone arena!!!!!!!!!!!!

[erikg92]

Is there a way to chat online like you can with the iphone using facebook ??

[234zxt]

thats a good thing if it duznt have an on-screen qwerty keyboard in landscape u silly goose, virtual keyboards suck ass

[BJJwhitebelt]

i want this phone soooooo bad

[oddite2000]

Can you text on the touch screen?

[0ilEli0]

@oddite2000 you can when holdind it upright but you cant when you turn it sidewayys for landscape.. iF you wanna texx that way you gotta sliDe iT up for the qwerty keyboard..

[milkcarton27]

@oddite2000 yeah, except theres no landscape touch screen keyboard >.<

[milkcarton27]

@oddite2000 yeah, except theres no landscape touch screen keyboard >.< its more like an iphone texting thing if its on touchscreen

[0ilEli0]

can u put a signature on msgingg??

[234zxt]

@0ilEli0 i dont think u can do that with any att phone, there gay like that ya know?

[0ilEli0]

@234zxt ughh. i thought at&t was better than that! that Suck's!

[234zxt]

@0ilEli0 ik man, ik

[lozop3]

is there conversaation bubbles or the msg by date thing?

[callmeaustin1]

this phone or the HTC tilt 2!?!? anyone??

[jj774411]

@callmeaustin1 ...ur fone contract iz up nd u want a fone with wifi.......lol me 2 bt idk wat 2 get

[Misho5z]

@callmeaustin1 well this one is faster than the tilt 2 but it has a smaller keyboard and screen

[callmeaustin1]

@Misho5z does this one freeze alot? do u know if it does?

[Misho5z]

@callmeaustin1 well windows mobile sucks lol just get the htc aria pretty much best one att has or the backflip those are best trust me you dont want a phone with windows mobile ive had my experiences

[lozop3]

@callmeaustin1 no this is the lg expo it is smaller than the tilit 2.

[jakeman49926]

its hard to understand you half the time

[hustler539]

Thank you so much! your review was both thorough and informative :)

I may have made up my mind now. I was thinking of either this or the Bold 9700.

I am a big fan of Backberry's. However, an important thing for me is web browsing, this is the BB's achille"s heel. It seems the eXpo doesnt have as good a battery life as the BB(which is also important for me). But on the plus side, it does have that neat fingerprint sensor(I'm big on security) and the projector alongside all the power features.

[ninjamonkey8]

Do you think I should get the LG eXpo or the Samsung Captivate? What I'm mainly look for is which one has the better appstore, and which one will be better for lots of texting.

[WuhooProductions]

@ninjamonkey8 that was what i was thinking haha but i got lg expo cuz i really needed a keyboard haha

[IXIWineIXI]

@ninjamonkey8 at this moment the only phone better than the captivate for attt is the iaphone4.

[XDkBsX]

i saw linkin park!

lol

[bakabunneh247]

is there an option using a regular 12 key txting mode?

[MyMegaProductions]

i hate resistive touch screens (which is why i have an iphone) but hows the touch screen on this one?

[reelempire]

I don't see what ATT is thinking or LG for that matter. This could easily compete with the Droid and Iphone. It has a friggin' snapdraggon processor for crying out loud, a finger print scanner and a pico projector. Install the SPB Mobile interface and this phone sits high above it's competition. I've owned a Droid and this phone blows it out of the water. In fact, the only thing the Expo lacks is a marketplace as large as the Android or Apple, but that isn't the phones fault.

[sergiojannet]

can u do signatures for messaging anyone

[reelempire]

@sergiojannet Yes.

[strawberrifreak125]

how much is this phone and how much is the monthly bill for this?? Either i'm getting this or the iPhone4, which would you suggest I get??

[XxKimmittJrxX]

@strawberrifreak125 get the iPhone

[reelempire]

@strawberrifreak125 My monthly bill is $79. I use the 200mb data plan for $15. There's a 2GB for $25 but you won't need that with the wi-fi.

[samesiran]

Does anyone know if this phone has a app store or applications on it like facebook?

[Romodi26]

@samesiran it has facebook



[rambonia666]

do you HAVE to pay for the extra features on a smart phone or can you get a smart phone without having to pay for all that internet crap and what not

[TheEdibleShoe]

Does anyone that has this recommend this phone? I'm trying to decide on this and the Tilt.

[nicole9texas]

@TheEdibleShoe I don't have either but I have been looking at the Tilt 2 for quite some time and though I prefer the Tilt's visual style, this phone packs a punch that the Tilt doesn't quite have. The 5.0 pm camera on this phone caught my attention too. I need to be able to work on classes and soon a business & keeping up with military documents and throwing in the good camera helps when my kids have those moments and I don't have my camera around. I think I'm sold on this phone really...

[reelempire]

@nicole9texas Spend $25 on the SPB Mobile Shell and you will definitely choose Expo over Tilt 2. The visuals are outstanding with SPB Mobile.

[Romodi26]

@TheEdibleShoe look at the reveiws on the at&t website

[reelempire]

@TheEdibleShoe I have had this phone for a month and I love it. It's the best phone I've owned by far and I've owned an Iphone, Droid and HTC Incredible. I bought it brand new on Ebay for $230. The best feature is that you can change the interface. I'm currently using SPB Mobile and the customization is limitless with up to five home pages. I love the fingerprint scanner. Like the iPhone, it has video sharing and a metal shell casing. Get this phone. You won't be sorry!

[TheEdibleShoe]

@reelempire Thanks dude, I'll definitely get this phone if I could just get the money...

[TheMatteo101]

im so wachinnnn porn on this

[fullmetaljon]

skip it

[kunoichiOneX]

is this one of the free upgrades? if not, how much do you have to pay for it?

[flufy11]

@kunoichiOneX it is $199 with upgrade or with another smartphone it is $150

[RaLpHyDaLoPhY]

is there an extra fee to use internet explorer or yahoo messenger or other apps. like that with any kind of payment, or is it just free?

and is the picoprojecter included in the whole package, or is it seperate? thanks.

[reelempire]

@RaLpHyDaLoPhY pico projector is seperate.

[GCloverRUBY]

dooes it show the conversations per person ?

[candyyycanesz]

Which one's better, LG Tritan or LG eXpo / i cant decide .:x

[bqx4u2]

it kinda looks like the voyager..

[icool247]

do you have to get the internet package shit to get this phone?

[cataylor031185]

im so getting this!!!!!!!!!

--get this phone

[LTCAproductions]

does anyone know what i should get.. this phone or the samsung impressing?

[LongLiveYourLife]

@LTCAproductions DONT DONT GET the impression, that phone suxx, I had the phone for like 4 months it freezes, and nothing compare to this, also it mess up, I had to lie to att for me to switch to mortola Backflip XD, so get this phone

[iDOPESHIT]

@LongLiveYourLife dam i getting the impression !!! on tuesday !!! dam is it really bad? !!!!

[LongLiveYourLife]

@iDOPESHIT Yeaa 0-0

[madskillz173]

@iDOPESHIT yeah the impression is horrible my touch screen stopped working it 1 day after i got it

[LTCAproductions]

DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL

[apurpledolphin]

Does the projector comes w/ the phone when purchased?

[BriannaPiranha]

this phone looks great :] nice review.

also! i love dashboard confessional and linkin park haha :3

[nubiandelicacy]

This phone is actually selling on ebay for $300

[stupidiraqpeople]

when windows mobile 7 comes out, can you put that on the expo?

[vermathraix]

@stupidiraqpeople Yes.

[Sayian505]

@stupidiraqpeople I wouldn't see why not. With it's 1GHZ processor it should be able to handle it very nicely.

[117Blackberry]

Does the projector come with the phone

[vermathraix]

@117Blackberry no

[flipflop300]

THIS PHONE IS DISCONTINUED

[btman2]

@flipflop300 really? Why don't you go to the AT&T store and try to buy one....

[flipflop300]

@btman2 They only sell them to "business people"...and they sell them online for like...alot, but I own my own graphics company at 14-years-old and make a salary of 75,000 dollars a year....and I pay taxes!!!

[vermathraix]

@btman2 They Don't Sell Them In Store's, ;[

[VelaToNorma7]

@vermathraix i'm gonna sell you in a store

[btman2]

@vermathraix internet store.....

[sharinganguneye]

@flipflop300 couldve swore i jus purchased this yesterday

[VelaToNorma7]

@sharinganguneye how would you kn

[griinsharpie]

is there an app store like in the iphone??

[BeastlyCold]

i thought the projection was the phone until he pulled it away

thats pretty impressive

[LilUnstopable205]

hey should i get the motorola flip or Lg expo?

[NotanEmoJasmine]

@LilUnstopable205 expo!

[AshCThurlow]

THIS FONE IS WICKID!!!

[jewbash]

when the phone is locked and your prompted to slide your finger to unlock it, it says emergency call.. so wouldnt it be pretty easy to accidentally press that in your pocket?

[zonic1mk]

not anybody can get it, AT&T only allow business ppl to get this phone for now

[vermathraix]

@zonic1mk not.

[Schoolchics]

Which one is better

this or xenon or samsung impression

plz tell me

[1EATDINOS]

I have the Xenon but just ordered this phone, It's a major upgrade, I loved the xenon but I can't get over how amazing this phone is.

[saynomore63]

should i get expo or m.backflip and y? plz help

[MystrBubblz]

Sadly AT&T is butchering the backflip right now. Not to mention its a dated OS (Android 1.5) that will be upgradeable to 2.x "at a later date." that could mean next month or Q1 2011...

The expo on the other hand is a great looking phone but hard to find right now because of a massive recall involving faulty antennae...

So i'd say get neither. AT&T has 3 more android phones lined up this year plus WinPho 7series in sept. be patient... better phones are right around the corner (I hope)

[itsambeerhoe]

xenon is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!

[TristanTKD]

@itsambeerhoe not really, the xenon is a low end featurephone.

[joelisme123]

i was goona get the tilt 2 but im okay with getting this instead hahim only 12

[proggert]

i am gonna beg for my dad to buy me this when I get better grades!!!!!!!!!! It looks better than the iphone if you ask me..................

[kumagkit]

wow i like his phone

[LeaderBankotsu]

do you have to pay internet on this phone l;ike the iphone?

[yammer123]

this phone has been a joke trying to get, ive been waiting so long for mialing, and i couldnt even go through the att homepage because they keep selling out, so i was forced to use amazon for the first time in my life just because of the lack of stock and customer service att offered me (8 year customer)

[trikyd7]

wen is this gonna be in the uk

[Swiperluck]

finally i can watch movies in my bed on the ceiling! ha.

[Swiperluck]

LG GW990>Nexus One>HTC HD2>eXpo>>>>>>>>>>>iPhone

[cowiemybaby]

Im probably getting this one. Its soooo awesome. I t has a projector and fingerprint senser and everything!!!! It looks like the Iphone but is better!!!

[TheAirsoftbeast22]

how much is the projectoer and where can i get it

[LeaderBankotsu]

the projector runs 17999 new, and probably online at the atat store or at your local atat store.

[gaastra12]

Google Nexus One is better..

[nullr1]

Does the Nexus One have a fingerprint reader? or a projector? or a multitouch screen? The Nexus One has the operating system and screen going for it. Other than that it just does stuff a bunch of other smart phones do the fingerprint reader and projector are more unique. Other than that specs are pretty even.

[gaastra12]

european nexus one is having multi touch, because in europe there are no laws that declare patents for software.

[dodofrank0]

does the lg expos enternet explorer work both on 3g network and wifi....pleez reply anybody ??

[gsus787]

@dodofrank0 its for ATT so yes it has 3G in fact u can see the "3G" symbol on the screen of the phone!

[Beatles4life100]

great fone

i want it!

[sectorninesk8er]

does it have wifi capability? cause this phone is sooooo sick and i thiink i want to get

[jaroslavmodry]

yes the phone has wifi :)

[stuwie8868]

Does this phone navigate like the Iphone?

[LittlePoisen]

yep it does

[cokevspepsi101]

wait, does the pico projector come with the phone or do u have 2 buy it, and if u do have 2 buy it how much does it cost

[vlaxatron]

the projector is separate and it cost $150

[brsbaseballer32]

so sick

[duckie1313]

Nice review!! This phone is pretty sweet!!

[ladykhmer252]

is that like the lg prada?

[damiaking]

the proyector shoud come in the phone it self when i first saw how thick the phone was i tought that it came with the phone

[dethofevil]

Love the Viv tho. but i cant stand how it sound like you cant breath threw your nose, makes me forget i can breath threw my nose,

[dethofevil]

ok WOW, LG is now in the Game with HTC and Moterola, the Exo has a up to date look, other then its older phones that either have a small screen or no keyboard. This has all the media you want and a projecter sold sepratly.

Only prob for me is, it looks like you have to Scroll ALOT to get to what you want, simple but alot of scrolling, WIndows mobile is slowly starting to look like the Android with Google, layout. LOving how its looking, wile owning a Driod myself

[jasonbucy]

1080p!! OMG

[MetalFromHeaven]

The projector costs 180US dollars and the phone 299.99US dollars

[sbowesuk]

The projector looks like a gimmick if ever I've seen one. Can't think of a realistic situation where I'd be able to say "thank goodness I had that projector eh", and IMO you'd have to go seriously out of your way to find such a situation.

Also don't forget that projectors need an ideal venue to work properly, i.e. dark room with flat reflective surface to project onto, so even if you did need to use it you might not be properly able to.

All this and it's bulky as hell. No thanks...

[dethofevil]

I agree the Phone is very nice, but the main focus on it is its projecter, witch makes makes it exspencive and bulky,

[SuperStanroy]

is it out in the uk

[999hbk1]

@SuperStanroy its out in the u.s

[bg048]

How much is the Phone and Projector?

[xoANONiMUSox]

1080p ftw!

[purplerain190]

i think this is finally a break through for LG. i think some of their handsets are good but this maybe the best by far. also im hoping that it's not faulty because lg handsets are very much known for their faultiness and their likely nice to crash/breakdown/be broken very easily. so a round of a plause for LG :)! xx

[ISkateOnForMyCity]

im watching this in the apple store!

[ChristopherFilm]

lol

[MySpaceKing713]

Wow the projector looks really good. Shame it's going to be used mostly for porn...

[Cinnamedian]

ahhahaha

[dmakell]

lmbo

[XxTonyDotDotCurvexX]

@MySpaceKing713 lol wow

[VelaToNorma7]

@MySpaceKing713 That's what computers are for.

[MrPs3cod]

@MySpaceKing713 i wouldnt say its a shame, id say its more of a breakthrough, for porn watchers everywhere!

[babybungbu]

This phone runs Windows Mobile, so how can it support 16 mil color?

[acquaz10]

it doesn't matter the OS, it matters on the maker

[SuperGEORGE1993]

Good Review :)

[trapneck]

its really fast and simple,simplecity attracts me alot,im holding my breath on HD2 and EXPO

[babybungbu]

If you want big screen, definitely go for HD2. EXPO is suitable for user with heavy input because of the physical slide out keyboard.

[Umbra360]

@CellPhoneArena whats the point of being first?
