I had the phone a little over a week and have so far not had any problems – I will update this review when I do.
It holds a charge well – including sending and receiving texts to go online several times a day and the battery is made for 2-3 days into account. And he charges only a few hours. Bery Nice.
I am not a great writer, but I must admit that the keyboard is wonderful! Even if I enter the contacts it works very well and turns to numbers or letters depending on the field (name or number) will be worked.
The camera, although only 2 MB takes very nice pictures – I miss a zoom feature, though.
The screen is bright and easy to read and I can just sensitivity and vibration than necessary – I say this because I do not know if others have told people that cracked their screens were juggling their phones or using them to base case, a book or something. . . It is rugged enough to use “normal”, and I think it went well.
Now that the phone has frozen on me twice, but I thought, why – and I’m not smart! Both times I was cold on the internet and it froze when I tried to load a Web page. Either the browser in the phone could not with the actions or the page I tried to load was not in a format accessible WAP and therefore could not be loaded. Anyway, a simple removal of the battery for a few seconds ensured. (Personally, I think it’s the browser, as I surfed the internet for a few hours a night – I had plugged the charger only WAP sites. When I was a page I did not charge the phone tries to WAP frozen). This makes the phone bad. He said that the pre-installed browser sucks.
Even if I was playing with the GPS function, sitting on a trip – my wife at the wheel – the phone is pretty hot. Well, this should be an electronic device! Also not really a deficiency.
I tried all, between the fog and Samsung decided to print and choose what the examiner said on YouTube, the keyboard was better. And I agree, and I would say I am very happy with the phone! (Please Phonedog).
Ps – Finding a good case for xenon – I do not mean a hard-shell plastic nestable case is not simple – but I had to make any agreement on anything I could find.

This has the potential to be a great phone.
Love the form factor, touch screen, keyboard, lightweight.
However, it has a fatal flaw: The touch screen is too fragile to use. The first day we heard a knock on the screen inside. The exterior of the phone has no scratches or bruises always, and we did not drop or damage the phone. While attempting the problem with AT & T to resolve, the logic is wonderfully circular: “The phone works when he left the shop, so when the screen cracked is your fault, it must be”. Consequently, they will not return.
Do not buy this phone, if you buy insurance and are willing to pay the deductible for replacement.

I want this phone. . . It is small, has a full keyboard, easy to use, good value (the height is adjustable) is on the touch screen can be for individual use of the touch screen (calibrated, I think, is the lack of calibration Why do some people with problems the touch screen). It has a 2 megapixel camera with flash, but it is not as good as the old ones on my Sony Ericsson W810. The phone also had a better reception and I noticed a couple of calls with the LG in places I did not. Speaking of drops, this phone is also very sensitive. . . a decrease in the short (perhaps two feet from the door of my car dubbed) outside. And if you intend to keep this in the bag, as I do on the screen scratches pretty easy. If you buy this phone, the rubber skin (protective coating), and screen savers, plastic, until the phone. Also note that there is no map available, a standard jack for headphones 3 mm can be connected. Their options are blue tooth headset ($$$) or the U.S. sales of headsets cheap and T. Nobody made a mini-USB adapter to 3 mm, which operate on this phone, even if I have a nice pair of headphones noise reduction Senn I do not, they can with this phone. Check this question on the forum on the LG site AT & T (my SE w810i came with this adpator). Also be aware that there is no software that will be a backup of your address book. Lose the phone, and you lose all your numbers. Finally, there are bugs in the software. . . . took several reboots of the phone’s address book to load correctly. I have not used this phone for almost a month, it has some nice features, but I think it is not quite ready for prime time.

I had this phone for less than 60 days, while I like many features of the phone is a major flaw with the touchscreen a. When I recently hit the touch screen is a snap, then the screen looks like a shattered windshield have. AT & T indicates that the physical damage and does not cover under warranty, LG shows that I can send them and they replace it if it is a manufacturing defect is discovered, but otherwise, I can pay service charge of $ 50 to a default on your phone.

I have this phone two months ago, after I’m finally on my Palm Centro (which was a horrible phone). Upon entering the store AT & T in my area, I intend Quickfire a purchase, but the volume is strongly recommended that I have no money on them when they were to have the product because the tendency of the battery to catch fire associate. I said what I really wanted was a full QWERTY keyboard (as I have so damn much) of text, preferably of scenery from my Centro had smashed a keyboard and I wanted something more spacious. He led me in xenon.
Advantages:
– The phone is wonderful. I mean, it’s a really cool device. Very thin, and the suspicion of chrome is a really pleasant. The little design on the back is a very nice touch, in my opinion. It flat-out pretty.
– The touch screen is very flexible, having calibrated a few times and got the learning curve of a touchscreen phone only used (my Centro had a touch screen, but it was for use with a stylus).
– The keyboard is amazing – well apart, with large keys company.
– The slider feels very strong, not fragile like Propel (on a friend), and although I slipped up and down dozens of times a day, it is not want to lower it.
– It’s tough when you’re careful. I did it twice, fell from a height of two feet and once on the ground about four feet, and both times the phone on his back. No scratches are evident. There are some very small scratches on the end key and a small, hard to see chip on the chrome. The screen is very good and I do not use a protector or a case (I’m looking into a hard rubber case, as I had a hard clear case and it was useless).
call quality – is very, very good. I can still hear my speakers as well, and they hear me great. I only had a few calls dropped, and all because I was in an area with extremely low service. Everywhere else was great.
– I like threaded messages! I was on my Centro and was initially not over, he lost in the fog, until I started SMS and realized she had this ability. Topic text to make calls over much easier. And I like the way messages are delivered in small “bubbles”.
– The page lock is well placed and easy to use. The screen lock is reliable.
– I have a Micro SD card 2 GB of music on it. I like the phone to automatically convert any media on the SD card, when presented, and the sound of music is played through the speakers is not so bad (the latest on music, because I must make a complaint). < , Br /> – To understand what has not got long on this phone – I never even look in the manual. I like the presentation is simple, clean and simple.
– The camera takes really nice pictures with bright, accurate color and superb clarity. The flash is good, but the results in dull picture, in my opinion.
– There is an alarm “only” sound option which turns the tone, message display and vibration, so you only the sound of your alarm. I like it when I go to sleep at night, as I use this phone as an alarm clock.
Disadvantages:
– Why in the world You have a phone with MP3 capabilities. . . no headphone jack? This phone requires an adapter Micro-USB for use with headphones. . . LG and AT & T has still not done? I think it’s ridiculous. I do not want to hear the music roared from their phone, so I’m not sure my belt. If you want to listen to this phone with headset, you must be a Bluetooth headset (I understand it, wired, those with LG about this phone or headset [...]) cheap. For my part, I’ll wait for an adapter, forthcoming. / Br> < - The phone has a freeze on me once or twice a week. It is not enough to give me, as I love the phone, but it is a shame to start the battery and the phone. />
– Obviously, the timing is not a game for the Centro (which is the main reason I bought the Centro terrible first place). I’m the kind of person who wants to be organized with difficulty, and my Centro was great for that, but an outlet for anything else. I do not hate the timing of this phone, but it is certainly not used for this function.
– Life of the battery is too low if you have the brightness at the bottom. I learned that it takes about a second five days with average use of the lowest on the drums, but I could often difficult to walk four or five days with my Centro. It only took some getting used to and do not forget to charge it more often.
– obviously not to be confused Bare Minerals makeup and this screen – it is often stains very, very bad. Every little bit of dirt or oil on the screen shows a lot of time. I find myself cleaning more often than I might have.
I really, really am happy with this phone. For a serious writer like myself is a dream, and I think for the price (with mail in rebate from AT & T) is a very good investment. I recommend, for sure, if you are looking for something perfect. Perfection is something you can not get with xenon, but it is clearly the best phone I ever owned.
[UPDATE> 2/16/10]
I have no problems with this phone than in the past, but is still the best phone I ever owned. I am cold more often, sometimes three or four times a day, is it for a week or so just before taking it again. This situation is frustrating. And I found a really weird question that I can not hang with the physical end key during a call, even if my number already hung up. I have to unlock the phone and use the touch screen or button JAB end a dozen times.
The sound quality of speakers is very good, but I still can not find enough good pair of headphones that will work with him, so I use my iPod and use my phone when I or at home. I do not want to pay money for the Bluetooth wireless headset, but fortunately for me it is not necessary.
