LG Xenon user reviews (black, AT&T)

Pros QWERTY keyboard, touch screen vibrations, works with stylus (or pen), call quality, speakerphone, compact, battery life, customizable, camera.

Cons Browser could be better, wallpaper doesn't rotate

Summary I have only had this phone for 2 days but so far I am LOVING IT! I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with this one or go with the Samsung Impression. I am really glad I picked this one especially for how much cheaper it is.

One thing that I want to point out about this touch screen is that unlike the iPhone (which I had), you can use a stylus pen or any other pointed pen/pencil with it. Sometimes when I am on the browser my fingers are too big to click on a small link, this is where a stylus can be handy!

The keyboard is a little cramped but you get used to it very fast. I love the touch screen vibrations it has. Whenever you touch the screen the phone vibrates ever so slightly to make it feel somewhat like you are really pushing buttons.

The call quality is great and LOUD, the speakerphone works well too. I haven't had any problems with batter life yet either (and I text a lot). When you slide open the QWERTY keyboard the wallpaper doesn't rotate although all the menus and button icons do (not too big of a deal).

Overall, I would definitely recommended this phone!

Pros Touch screen interface is very good once you get used to it
Loud volume via earpiece
small, compact size
QWERTY keyboard
auto correction for texting works well

Cons external speaker volume for ringtone, message tone, and alerts too low

Summary I initially got the Samsung Impression, which I also got for my 2 teenage kids. After a week, I returned the Impression, not because it was not a great phone but there was no voice dialing and it was a bit too big. The Xenon is smaller, more compact, and has a nice display. The main reason I liked it over the Impression is that it has voice dialing and speed dialing from the keypad; both mandatory features if you use your phone while driving with a headset.
The talk volume is very adequate, but the external speaker is not loud enough. If I put the phone in my leather belt case with the magnetic closure, you can barely hear the ringing and the vibration is also weaker than other phones I have had. If you carry the phone in your pocket, this would not be as much of a problem. My previous phone was a Motorola V3xx which was VERY loud even in its case. Maybe this is typical of LG.
All in all as my first touch screen phone, I am very happy with it

Pros Well after 3 days and the phone broke, I don't have a positive to list. And, ATT service stinks. They tell us it is not warranty and are happy selling junk.

Cons Display screen broke on the 2nd day of use. It was not dropped, damaged or abused. ATT refuses to stand behind products they sell. Do not buy.

Summary Move from ATT to a different vendor and do not buy this phone. It is piece of junk.

Pros touch screen, full QWERTY keyboard.

Cons Everything else.

Summary I have had this phone for the past three months, and ever since i've bought it its been freezing. I have gone through 4 LG Xenons and I've gotten the same result for all of them.
