[animekid822]

Can you change the wallpaper?

[erikg92]

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

[halofreak939]

I am thinking about getting this phone. Can you install another internet browser such as Firefox?

[RavensysteM]

The S-Class is so slow as hell. I have a LG GM750 and avoid using it if possible...

[thinkalittle21]

can some body help me how do you change the on screen keyboard because mine seems to be like something like t9 an i dont like it

[alphaflag20]

I don't know how for sure about both your answers, but since it is a world phone, I guess that means it works on both 3g and WiFi. Also, it should connect to any router. If the iPod touch can connect to any router, this phone can definitely do it. So don't worry about that part.

[SpelmanFam]

yep it is

[CrzBioHazard]

is the finger sensor for security and privacy measures? so you can't use someones lg expo unless the user slides their finger on the sensor? so nosey people won't be able to see through your stuff basically

[SpelmanFam]

both

[LILitalianvinny]

how is the battery life some please tell me quick becuz im gettin the phone at 10:30

[sidekicklover96]

Which one should i buy?

Tilt 2, Pure, or exPo? And why?

[americanforthewin]

Hmm I will say the expo 2 because is cheaper and it has better specs than the Tilt2 and the Pure - especially the processor. I am pretty sure this phone will also be upgradable to windows mobile 7 as it has what it takes to run it, but that will be on LG and ATT's call. in relation to post, the expo has better chances of being a music phone than the HTC's ones on ATT. I am waiting for it to get in shelves to play with it... this phone should have been there before Christmas.

[americanforthewin]

And by the way, you can get this phone with service at Amazon for $99.00. They will also give you the activation for free ($36 value) and a $50 gift card on top of that. That would makes the total cost of the phone only $13, with a 2 year contract. You can go for the lowest with is $69.99 which comes around $87 dollars per month after taxes. Taxes vary per state :S

[americanforthewin]

@ rexatar from what I understand two things can happen depending on the sales agent and the point of sale:

(1) they won't let you leave the store without a data plan; that is, they basically won't sell you the phone.

(2) AT&T will detect by some mechanisms that you have a locked smartphone that does not have a data plan and will ask you to add one or they will suspend service to the sim card you just popped. AT&T is pretty serious about their service plan.

[americanforthewin]

From the software side, the only thing that worries me is 7:40 . Say, if I get Opera Mobile or Opera Mini, I won't be able to use it in landscape mode and profit from the full Qwerty? or what about other apps like games or IM (Live Messenger, Yahoo, etc).

[kat7cs]

does the phone come with the stylus? Also, does the phone have flash? does the phone have a little hole to put the stylus in kind of like the nintendo ds or do u just have to hold the stylus?

[americanforthewin]

Yes, come with Stylus. It looks like a lipstick and it can't be attached to the device. Rumor has it the reason why the style is not attachable was that the phone was destined to sport Windows 7 which is fully finger-friendly but its release has been delayed ( so they added the Stylus).

I think the phone has Flash Lite 3.1. It does not have desktop-like flash (only the Nokia N900 up to this day).

If you mean Flash camera, it does have flash.

[americanforthewin]

By the way the device has Java, so you can also use the awesome Opera Mini 5 ( I prefer it over Opera MObile 10 - it is awesome !!! )

[americanforthewin]

You can't. Even if you pay for the phone sans contract, you are obliged to have a data plan. AT&T won't even allow you to run the phone with a GoPhone card (that is what the Store agent told me when I got my Tilt2). But, I feel pretty good about AT&T's 3G - at least on my area it is competent.

[mobilityminded]

The Fingerprint reader works really well. The setting for this are in the Phone settings.

[IsabellaSalvatierra]

can you do a screen size comparison between this phone and the iphone or any other touchscreen phone

[mobilityminded]

I might do this in a next video. The screen is very vibrant and has better resolution compared to the iPhone

[cenkaetaya1]

hey, could you comment on they keyboard a little?

also maybe show it open some applications in standard WM, such as google maps.. skype.. to see how fast it loads.

also how is the battery life? 3hrs as it claims seems wayyy too low for 1500mah

will it be possible to install custom roms?

[mobilityminded]

I lreally do like the keyboard. it feels comfortable and not cramped up.

Custo Rom's, we'll have to see, however AT&T has an update application build in.

In a next video I will show the start up of a installed program or IE
