Amazon.com Product Description
The perfect balance of powerful computing and thrilling multimedia, the LG eXpo for AT&T is the first smartphone in North America to use the Qualcomm 1 GHz processor, which offers fast processing speeds for running multiple applications without losing performance. In addition to a responsive touchscreen interface, the eXpo offers a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard.



The LG eXpo smartphone with optional pico projector snapped onto the back.


The slide-out QWERTY keyboard makes editing documents and composing e-mail a breeze (see larger image).
This phone can quickly download video, music and more over AT&T's lightning quick HSPDA 3G network. Additionally, with AT&T's 3G network, you can listen to a conference call on a headset while sending and receiving e-mail attachments, picture messages or Web pages at the same time. It will also be compatible with AT&T's High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 Mbps technology, which provides a considerable speed boost to the already fast AT&T 3G network.

AT&T Services

    High-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network: The dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network provides up to 3.6/7.2 Mbps of download speed, making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

    Additionally, this phone is also compatible with 2100 MHz 3G networks found in international territories. (For use outside the United States, an AT&T international data plan is recommended.) When traveling outside the U.S., you can enjoy wireless voice coverage in more than 215 countries and wireless data coverage in more than 185 countries--as well as access ultra-fast 3G mobile broadband services in more than 100 countries.

    In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and e-mail on the go.

    The full-featured, premium AT&T Navigator GPS navigation application includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com.

    AT&T's Video Share service enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) While using Video Share with family and friends is a fun way to communicate, it's also very useful for business. For example, a majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.

5 out of 5 stars Great phone for tech savey!   December 27, 2009

This phone is great for people who know how to work technology. Windows Mobile has a high learning curve but once you get use to it, it is easy. Have not had to use my stylus once but there is some instances, ie using the internet, when the OS could be more finger friendly. The fingerprint detection and 1GHz processor is amazing! The phone has not froze on me yet and I usually run 6 different windows at once. With wifi, the internet is faster than my PC. Camera and keyboard works well. I wish Windows 7 came out sooner so this phone would have it, it would make it a lot easier to use the interface. People are starting to hear about this phone and are amazed to see the fingerprint detection and the high CPU speed in action. I am very impressed with this phone so far and cant wait to use the projector when it comes out.


5 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS PHONE   May 6, 2010
J. DOYLE (Gilbert, AZ, US)
I've had this phone for a couple of months - I absolutely LOVE it - I've teathered it to my computer, surfed the web (with and without tethering) accessed my SharePoint site, listened to the FM radio -

Soooo many features - I especially like the fact that I can be tethered to the PC surfing the web and talking on the phone at the same time -

My only complaint is that Pandora isn't compatible with this phone yet - I guess the built in FM radio will have to do until Pandora gets their stuff together - :O)



5 out of 5 stars Glad I waited for the LG expo., and stuck with WinMobile   August 1, 2010
Vantageshop-com (Jacksonville Beach, Fl USA)
I have had my LG Expo about 10 days now. It replaces an AT&T 8125 pocket pc made by HTC. I really enjoyed my 8125 and have resisted the temptation to replace a working phone until the screen cracked when my cat knocked it from a high place. I was reluctant to purchase the LG hardware without having handled it, and was afraid it would not be as nice as an HTC device. the quality of the LG hardware is quite nice. The camera is much better than what I had before. The screen resolution is incredible as is the color and brighness and stands on its own next to the Iphone and the best droid/android hardware. I have small hands and the slightly smaller overall circumferance of the phone allows me more confidence when handling than some wider and/or thicker smartphones. I really like the keyboard. It has nice keys and they are firm buttons, not labled places on a flimsy membrane. There are many options on how you can set up the initial screen, and more than one menu system to choose from. I am glad to use the WinMo "today" screen until I get more used to the swiping thing. Lg did some nice work on their branded portion of the user interface. Be careful about screen protectors, thick or poor quality versions can greatly deminish the overall experience of the interface. I was proficient with my stylus and the winmo os and it is freeing to have stylus features still available. IE has some nice features compared to days past, however there may be better browser options out there How nice to be able to sync with office without installing a bunch of apps. nicer still that remote pc access is right there on this phone. I am not as happy using the finger print swiper as I was the navigation buttons on my old phone. With the buttons I knew I had clicked a direction and how much so, or for how long I had held it down, with the swiper it seems more random somehow. One the other hand I can swipe instead and what this actually translates into is that I have to look at the screen more to do little things than I have been used to. If you are a computer tech, a microsoft partner, or mainly use your smart phone for business and productivity I recommend this phone. If you are a winmo dinasaur and don't want too much change I also recommend it. If you want a flashy toy, or are mostly concerned about connectivity, infotainment, and media, there are several options and this phone is only one of them. I had not researched the availability of FM radio and was pleasantly suprised to find it on this phone. The FM radio works quite well.
