MetroPCS today launched their first Android Smartphone, the LG Esteem for their 4G LTE network. The newly launched Esteem is a lightweight variant of the LG Revolution LTE smartphone that was launched on Verizon. The LG Esteem will be priced at $249 after a mail-in rebate of $100; without any contract. In addition to flash LG’s custom Optimus UI, the Esteem resembles pretty much with the LG Revolution which was launched on, and just like that handset, the LG Esteem also is 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, a 4.3 in capacitive touch screen, rear-facing 5 MP camera and front-facing 1.3 MP cameras, HDMI output, 720p HD video recording and MicroSD slot.

LG KF 390 looks like a phone which has a lot of pride. The black glossy finish and the lack of any mechanical buttons on the face make it look futuristic. Just like a lot of phones from LG (or Samsung too), this illusion breaks up when you see it up close. It is a plastic and unremarkable handset with just one exception. Just like other low end mobile phones from LG, the LG KF 390 has some cheap thrills for distracting it from otherwise pedestrian looking design. There are touch-sensitive menu selection buttons located around centre navigation button and are activated when you push up the slider. In our test model, the right and left selection buttons were dedicated to Telstra serves with buttons below them activating music player and task manager. The touch sensitive buttons are nice but I mishit them a lot especially while using navigation button. Above these buttons on the LG KF 390, there is a two inch display  [...]

LG KF390 looks like it is holding itself with a pride. The black glossy finish and the absence of any physical keys on the surface gives it a kinda cool look. This phone has a display of two inches with a resolution of 220x176 pixels. The resolution is lower than what I would have expected from such phone. You get less real estate to work around because of this. Also, I wasn’t too pleased with the viewing angle. Turning thing phone on the sides for viewing video in the landscape model gives a negative image and it is very hard to see the things. The LG KF390 is quite light on the feature side especially considering the price that it is offered for.There is a two megapixels camera which can take photos and videos and you can also do Web browsing at 7.2 MBPS maximum speed but remember that this is not a smartpohne and if you are looking for a smartphone, I would recommend you the Nokia E66. There is a front facing camera close to the  [...]

LG Cu720 is very stylish and shiny phone with lovely polished metal body and display that has mirror finish. This phone breathes sophistication and luxury. You can easily use this display as a compact mirror when the device is in standby mode. The handset is 3.93 inches tall, 0.59 inch thick and 1.99 inches wide and weighs about 4.23 ounces. The stainless steel body gives a sturdy feel in the hand. The slider mechanism is solid enough and it needs a firm push for smooth sliding. It is just like the KE970 but I wish there was some thumb grip close to the chin of the phone for easy sliding. My fingers often slipped on the glossy surface. Pressing any button on the LG Cu720 will reveal a 2.25 inch screen having mirrored finish. It supports 262k colors and is really gorgeous. The pictures are rich with great looking color and detail. Another cool thing about this display is the multi-angle vision  [...]

LG KF755 is a slim slider phone that has impressive looks and is made from good quality materials as well. The front panel is made up of tempered glass which will easily withstand scratches. I tried poking the display with a pair of scissors and it leave any marks. There is shiny and sleek metallic frame all over except on the top which is covered with leather textured material. The bottom and sides of the handset has rubber soft touch plastic materials for gripping the phone easily and the battery cover is made up of carbon fiber which is the same composite material that goes in spaceships. LG KF755 has a second camera built in for making video calls and there is also an ambient light sensor which automatically adjusts the screen contrast and keyboard backlighting according to the light in the environment. The most important control element of this device is the touch panel which is equipped with vibration or haptic feedback and there is  [...]

There are plenty of touch screens out in the market and now they are in danger of getting generic looks. LG GM730 has avoided that with a very interesting edge design. The phone corners are nicely rounded just like the sides and this makes the phone feel like a pebble in the hand. The handset is 109.8mm by 56.5mm by 11.9mm and at weight of 107 grams, it is very light and compact particularly for Windows Mobile smartphone. This gadget will easily fit in to most jeans pockets and handbags. There is one downside to the compact size of the LG GM730 and is that the space for the screen is limited. The touchscreen, diagonally measured, is just three inches big. This size would have been OK about an year ago but these days, smartphones have really big displays and hence this screen feels too small. You get a resolution of 400x240 pixels which is the same as what you get in Samsung Omnia SGH-i900. This  [...]
