Mostly gadgets, but I'll occassionally get sidetracked...

AT&T LG eXpo

Yes, I know, I know.  It’s not an iPhone, it’s not an Android, and no, it’s not even a webOS phone.  But, I’ve been testing the LG eXpo from AT&T for the last two weeks.

Why do I like it?  Let me count the ways:

  • Crisp and clear 800x400 resolution display
  • 5 megapixel camera (yes, when most are struggling with 3/3.2 megapixels)
  • A battery that can actually get me through the day without needing to charge
  • A very speedy 1GHz Snapdragon processor…that’s right, a 1GHz processor
  • Pico Projector capable
  • Full sliding QWERTY keyboard, one of the best I’ve used…rate it excellent.
  • Slim and light…compared to the monster HTC Tilt 2
  • Samsung actually did a great job with the interface
  • Running Windows Mobile 6.5 (let’s hope upgradeable to Windows Mobile 7)
  • Ability to handle a 16GB SD card
  • Phone quality is actually very good, no dropped calls, seamless integration with my BT headset

And yes, as I mentioned above, I realize for lots of folks think Windows Mobile is tired…dull…boring…not stable…et al.  Trust me, I’ve heard them all.  But, for what I use it for, including all of the enterprise applications I need, the AT&T LG eXpo is one of the best phones I’ve ever used.

If you’re in the market for a new phone and get around all the poor publicity AT&T is taking, jump on it.
