LG Vu CU920 TV Phone
The phone is very attractive, though I expected the quality of the materials to be better. The touch screen works well, and the landscape QWERTY keyboard is great for text messages. Call quality is good and the speakerphone is loud.
Five problems though: 1) The screen is barely visable in the sun, 2) The camera is better than most phones at 2MP and Auto Focus, but there is no flash and the Sony’s 2MP camera took better pictures, 3) I’m on a Mac and I don’t want an iPhone because of the monthly service plan cost, but the LG Vu does not sync with my Mac and the Sony did, 4) It does not work as well with my Acura’s HandsFreeLink in car bluetooth, it does not show the battery life or signal strength, 5) The contacts does not provide a space for birthdays or addresses.
If these issues don’t matter to you then I’m sure you’ll like the phone.
The LG Vu offers many of the features of the iphone, though the software is not as seamless or polished. There is no ipod component, so back to carrying two devices. Nonetheless, the call quality is VERY good; loud speaker / speakerphone; MMS messaging; lots of functionality; lots of other techno goodies (TV, etc), though I don’t use many of them.
I would recommend this phone for those who want principally a phone, with some access to email, IM, and internet. Note that the “full HTML” browser leaves much to be desired; it will get you there, but is not the most pleasant experience. The touch pad functionality is okay – but I may be spoiled by the iphone.
