LG eXpo Reviewed
The folks over at PhoneScoop had the opportunity to review the recently announced LG eXpo, coming to At&t. Overall, it got a pretty good rating with a few downsides. They said the phone feels solid, but they had some complaints about the resistive screen and the fingerprint sensor/D-Pad.
In addition to unlocking the phone, the fingerprint sensor can also be used to control access to other applications (SMS, E-Mail, etc). One thing they were really impressed by was the keyboard, calling it "fantastic". There's no pictures of LG's UI, and Phonescoop reports that its mostly a stock WM6.5 with the optional LG UI available.
"Turning to the projector, which they call a “neat accessory”, they note it was large but battery friendly and projected what was on the screen. They noted it was not what they called “super bright” but even in a well-lit environment they were able to make out everything it projected. The projector is capable of a 40 inch image at 8 feet."

It’s a shame that they put such a powerful processor with a resistive screen. Let’s see if AT&T can screw it up more by forgeting to put a 3.5mm headphone jack (something that they are infamous for). I’ve read reports that the touch screen is slow to react. Plus no Micro USB. Who really designs these phones? Someone needs to give them the address to PPCGeeks to get real world opinions, instead of the corporate think-tank BS.
Wow, If I was HTC I’d be suing LG right about now. If that’s not a rip-off of the HTC Touch Pro, I don’t know what is.
sweet. i want it.
