LG Xenon - Easy to Text - Touchscreen - Great Phone

by Rico from on 2009-08-10
I bought the Xenon to replace a Samsung Propel. I wanted a phone that would be easier to text with. The propel had a qwerty keyboard, but the keys were a bit small. The Xenon came along and grabbed my attention. Here are my thoughts on the LG Xenon. Pros: - The Xenon keyboard is easy to use, even for a guy like me with bigger fingers. - The battery life is better than I expected (I don't text all day though so your mileage may vary). - The touchscreen works fairly easy and seems to respond decent enough for me. - The screen is large enough to use the Internet for quick information without scrolling constantly. - The phone is designed well and sleek. - The phone really is superior to most others for Text Messaging. Cons: - The phone has some minor quirks that I'd like to see fixed. Ex: Having to enter your password to clear the entire call log is annoying. - Since it is a touchscreen, you will want to buy a screen protector. I suggest a rubber protective case with the screen protector. - If you do not use a data plan you may find yourself accidentally getting online. The work around for this is creating invalid profiles... Even with the cons listed, I couldn't drop the rating to 4 stars because the phone really is a good deal. As always, I'd suggest visiting a retail store to try it out before purchasing to make sure it's comfortable for you.

Fantastic phone, great for texting...

I went into a store a few weeks ago just to look around and I saw a table with a few cell phones on it and decided to look into the pricing listed (this phone was listed as an upgrade for just $49.99). I wasn't really sure I qualified but it looked good enough for $50 that it would be a nice upgrade to my old LG Shine. What an understatement. Ok, this phone is not as capable as an IPhone. So what? You can get it for less money, it has fairly easy controls to operate it, and texting is very easy with it. I could not be happier with it and highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants an easy to use phone/texting combo. Easily store many numbers and names for snap dialing to necessary people. When you need to talk this thing makes it easy for you to do so. I could not be happier with it. Didn't I say that already. Great phone. I cannot believe the list price. I find it to be perfect for my needs. I use it mainly as a business phone. Look into this before you buy something a lot more expensive. If you can get a great phone AND save money, you then have nothing to lose but the price.

Replaced my LG VU 920 - MUCH MORE OF A PHONE THAN EXPECTED!

I bought the LG view in January of 2009. I am not sure if I was cursed this entire year, but I managed to get 7 defective (I mean totally defective-could not have been caused by me. I put a case and a screen protector on the day I get any new phone. In addition, I make sure (because I do not carry a purse) that I get a holder that attached to my belt so its is kept in top conditon. The charging ports went out 4 times, using only the LG charger, and then the battery went out 5 or 6 times as well! At&t offered my the blue version of the LG XEON, which I was very hesitant to get becuase I loved my LG VU. However, this has proved to be the best phone I have every had, I like it more than my Blackberry and my brother's I-phone, due to the fact I pay 1/3 for unlimited internet ($10) and unlimited text. I thought it didn't have Mobile TV, but there is! For only $10 bucks amonth too! There are so many apps, a pull out keyboard, a GPS that you can speak to, and so much more! 5 STARS!

I love my new phone!!

Yipeeeee! I'm so glad I waited until the black model was available. It looks beautiful. And the phone works great. Lots of features, easy to use, it's fun and easy to text, speaker phone works well, not big and bulky. I love it! I've had the phone for about 2 months and I haven't come across anything I don't like about it. It's been very dependable for me. I love the touch screen. I like this touch screen better than the iPhone screen because I don't have to use my finger pads on this phone. I can use my finger nails if I want and it's very fast and a light touch is all that's needed. The iPhone is awesome and in a class of it's own (in my opinion) but I have longer nails and it's hard for me to navigate on the iPhone. I have no problems on the Xenon. Also, I love that I can get a data plan or not. Nothing is forced on me. That was another reason I steered away from the iPhone. I'm so cheap and to spend an extra $30 a month just for data and have no choice in the matter was something I couldn't justify. So, I got the Xenon and I'm very happy!! I still drool when my sister is around and she's got her iPhone with her, but I really don't feel that bad. I love my Xenon!

Great for the casual user

I just upgraded and I've loved the phone since I've had it. PROS: Great battery life (considering I only talk and text on it) Touch screen is responsive Size is just good enough when using and also to fit into your pocket Camera quality is pretty good CONS: Seems fragile. I already have a small scratch on the screen. I'd recommend screen protector and a case/shell (both are dirt cheap on this site). Sometimes the touch screen accuracy is off a bit.
