LG Spectrum (Verizon Wireless)

Pros: Large 4.5 inch beautiful LCD screen, easy to root, light.

Cons: USB port on top, a little laggy, very small development (root) community,

Summary: This is NOT super AMOLED and therefore will NOT screen burn like all the Samsung phones. LCD does not have screen burn in issues, but all the AMOLED devices will have permanent screen burn in issues.

This is a highly underrated phone - beautiful LARGE screen. Beats super AMOLED in quality.

Easy 1-click root, but it has a VERY small development community so if modding is your thing - this may not be the best phone.

Very cheap - great value. But I had no budget or dollar limit and still chose this as my new VZW Android phone. i would have preferred to get a One X but VZW's selection is very limited. I chose this over the Galaxy SIII.

I don't like that it's plastic-y but not an issue after getting used to it. It's actually quite nice, although I prefer the rubbery feel of the HTC ThunderBolt.

LG did a knuckle-headed move by designing the USB power port on top. VERY DUMB! ***???

It's a little laggy though - I don't understand why -- it's dual core 1.5 GHz - same as the VZW SIII.

But over all for $20-100, this is a great value and the best screen quality and size of ANY VZW LTE phone - even better than the Galaxy SIII.
