Editorial Review
A quick messaging phone boasting a full keyboard for text messaging beneath its vibrant colors, the LG Xenon for AT&T also offers a large touchscreen display with a customizable and intuitive user interface. The 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. This GPS-enabled phone can access the AT&T Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions as well as its Video Share serve, which enables you to send video of yourself to another compatible phone while making a voice call.



The LG Xenon in red with a 2.8-inch touchscreen with vibrating feedback.... The Xenon's large touchscreen with vibration feedback and enhanced user interface make menus, shortcuts, and contacts available right at your fingertips. And with its compact, slideout QWERTY keyboard, you can quickly send text messages and emails. Other features include a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion (up to 16 GB), organizer tools, access to mobile email and instant messaging, and up to 4 hours of talk time.

AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network (UMTS/HSDPA), which provides download speeds ranging from 700 Kbps to 1.7 Mbps, and upload speeds ranging from 500 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps. This makes 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.

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 video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which 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.



...and a smooth, slide-out full QWERTY keyboard for easy text messaging and writing longer emails. You can take advantage of the AT&T Navigator GPS software and service, a full-featured premium navigation application that 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. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal.

The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.

It's also pre-loaded with AT&T's Mobile Banking application, which is compatible with accounts from banks including Wachovia, SunTrust, Synovus, and BancorpSouth. Mobile Banking from AT&T affords you the flexibility to stay on top of your banking needs while you're on the move, enabling you to check your account balance, securely transfer funds between your eligible accounts, view and pay bills, and review your transaction history. AT&T customers pay no additional fee to access mobile banking and, because the application resides on the handset, the service is optimized to reduce the number of new page views necessary to complete a transaction. Minimal data usage charges apply and vary based on individual use.

The LG Xenon has a 2.8-inch LCD touchscreen with a 240 x 400-pixel resolution and support for 262K colors.

The Xenon also features GPS navigation, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, MicroSD expansion to 16 GB and a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder. The digital audio player is compatible with MP3, AAC/AAC , and WMA files, and it allows you to create and manage playlists directly on the phone. Other features include a customizable equalizer and visualization, the ability to multitask in other phone applications while still playing music, and easy transfer of files from your PC via USB (optional cable available separately). The phone also includes a flight mode, which allows you to continue playing music while turning off the cellular radio.

The 2-megapixel camera offers four resolution modes (1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480, and 320 x 240 pixels) and it has a 2x digital zoom.

Here is what people are saying about the LG Xenon (AT&T) (Red)
2 Star Rating  "Great phone, but broke very easily, had to get a different phone"2009-09-09
- Reviewed By User: A3O781Q9JIQHYB
Great phone, but broke very easily, had to get a different phone. The screen cracked under almost no real strain. It was in my front pants pocket for 6 weeks, never bumped it, it actually broke in between uses while I was sitting on a floor. Awesome phone if the screen doesnt implode! Price to get the screen fixed? The price of a new phone. I have to pay full price at the AT&T store for some other phone because I couldnt really see shelling out another $300 having it braek again on me!
 
4 Star Rating  "Overall a good product with a few quibbles."2009-08-14
- Reviewed By User: A1EA0PSIL5B53F
I got this phone about two months ago, after I finally gave up on my Palm Centro (which was an atrocious phone). Going into the AT&T store in my area I fully intended to purchase a Quickfire; however, the sales associate strongly suggested that I not waste money on it as they were recalling the product due to the battery's tendency to catch on fire. I said that what I really wanted was a full QWERTY keyboard (since I text so darn much), preferably landscape since my Centro had a squashed keyboard and I wanted something more spacious. So he directed me to the Xenon.

Pros:

- The phone is gorgeous. I mean, it's a really beautiful device. Very sleek, and the touch of chrome is a really nice addition. The little design on the back is a very nice touch, in my opinion. It's flat-out pretty.
- The touch screen is quite responsive, after I calibrated it a couple of times and got used to the learning curve of a touch-only phone (my Centro had a touch screen, but it was for use with a stylus).
- The keyboard is amazing--very well spaced out, with large, firm keys.
- The slider feels very strong, not flimsy like the Propel (which a friend has), and even though I slid it up and down dozens of times a day, it doesn't feel like it's weaker.
- It's durable if you're careful. I've dropped it twice, once from a height of two feet and once from about four feet, and both times the phone landed on its back. No scratches are evident. There's a couple of very small scratches on the end key, and a minor, hard to see chip on the chrome. The screen is fine and I don't use a protector or a case (I am looking into a rubberized hard case, as I had a clear hard case and it was useless).
- Call quality is very, very good. I can always hear my speakers well, and they hear me great too. I've only had a few dropped calls, and all because I was in an area with extremely low service. Everywhere else has been great.
- I love the threaded messages! I had that on my Centro and was initially forlorn about not having it on the Xenon until I started texting and realized that it had that capability. Threaded texts make longer conversations much easier. And I like how the messages are provided in little "speech bubbles."
- The side lock button is well placed and easy to use. The screen lock is dependable.
- I have a 2GB micro SD card and have put music on it. I like that the phone automatically converts any media to the SD card once it's inserted, and the sound of the music played over the speakers isn't too bad (more on the music later, since I do have a grievance with it).
- Figuring out everything on this phone didn't take me long--I never even had to look in the manual. I like that the layout is simple, clean, and easy.
- The camera takes really lovely photos, with bright, accurate colors and fantastic clarity. The flash is useful but results in murkier photos, in my opinion.
- There is an "alarm only" sound option, which turns off the ringer, message indicator, and vibration, leaving only your alarm to sound. I like this when I go to sleep at night, as I use this phone as an alarm.

Cons:

- Why on earth do you have a phone with MP3 capabilities...yet no headphone jack? This phone requires a micro USB adapter for use with headphones...yet LG and AT&T don't have one made? I find that ridiculous. I don't want to hear anyone's music blaring from their phones, so I sure won't blare mine. If you want to listen to this phone with headphones, you either have to get a bluetooth headset (I believe the LG ones that are compatible with this phone are about [...]) or the cheap-looking wired headset. I for one will wait for an adapter to crop up.
- This phone has been freezing on me about once or twice a week. It's not enough to make me give up on the phone since I really like it, but it's annoying having to take out the battery and restart the phone.
- This is a very minor issue, but when you slide the keyboard out and the layout changes to landscape...the picture doesn't. It's kind of an odd effect.
- Obviously the calendar on here is no match for the Centro (which is the main reason why I bought it the horrid Centro first place). I'm the kind of person that likes to be painfully organized, and my Centro was great for that, but a POS for everything else. I don't HATE the calendar on this phone, but it's definitely not to be used for that feature.
- The battery life is on the low side if you have the brightness up the whole way. I've learned that it lasts about 2.5 days with medium use on the lowest battery setting, but I could often go four or five days using my Centro heavily. This just took some getting used to and remembering to charge it more often.
- Apparently Bare Minerals makeup and this screen do not mix--it often smudges very, very badly. Any bit of dirt or oil on the screen shows big time. I find myself cleaning it more often than I'd like.

I really, truly am happy with this phone. For a heavy texter like me it's a dream come true, and I think that, for the price (with the mail-in rebate from AT&T) it's a pretty good investment. I'd recommend this for sure, unless you're looking for something perfect. Perfection is something that you can't get with the Xenon, but it's clearly the best phone I have ever owned.
 
5 Star Rating  "iPhone mini?"2009-07-24
- Reviewed By User: A1IC11XLE4168Z
I love this phone. I had been thinking for awhile about getting an iPhone but I always balked at the extra $[...] a month it would cost for unlimited data and text messaging, so I had always decided to just hold on to my old Razr. Until the Xenon came along.

This phone is fantastic! It basically gives me all the things that I wanted in an iPhone, but its smaller, has a full keyboard and since we already had the family messaging plan, you can get the unlimited data plan on it for only $[...] bucks, instead of the huge fees that come with an iPhone.

Okay, the OS and the apps are not as great as the iPhone, and the browsing experience on the iPhone is unparalleled, but pair this baby with a [...] buck micro-sd card and it is good enough to work and play from while being much cheaper up front and it will save you hundreds over the course of the contract. And oh yeah, you get an actual keyboard with it and even with a protective case on it, its still fits comfortably in your pocket.

IMHO, this phone was a no-brainer. The only thing that worried me was the comments by other people on Amazon that the phone was delicate, so I got a nice case for it and decided to get the insurance on it for awhile. But so far it has worked perfectly and frankly it does not feel as delicate as some other folks have reported here, so I might cancel that too. Either way, I feel like this phone is a triumph and would highly recommend it. Great work LG.

Oh yeah, one last thing. Since AT&T has sold like 20 million iPhones now, this phone frankly is quite an eye catcher and everyone has been asking me what it is. Heh-hee.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great for what it does"2009-07-16
- Reviewed By kirkarot
This phone is great despite what any other reviews you read. Is it perfect, no, is it the holy grail iphone, no, does it function as great as a blackberry, no, but does it make great calls, text, video, etc absolutely yes. The biggest problem I have with the phone is the touch portion and it not always responding to your first touch, but I've used the iphone and other touch screens and you run into problems like that as well.

From a phone standpoint, nothing remarkable, it does what a phone should do, call and answer, the sound is very good, the reception is as good as the place you are in.

Texting, this is where this phone excels, very responsive, very easy and easy to use. This phone has some great features, menus, non needed stuff like a converstion chart for length, width, volume, etc but I am very pleased with my purchase. This is the first non SonyEricson phone I have had in 6 years and I could not be happier, I recomend it if you are looking for a pseudo smart phone without having to purchase all the data and text plans.

- Reviewed By User: A2CG6E42O1ZD09
I have been using the phone for just over a week and have yet to have any problems -- I'll update this review if I do.
It keeps a good charge -- even sending and receiving texts and going online a couple of times a day the battery stays charged for 2-3 days. And it charges in only a couple of hours. Bery nice.
I'm not a big texter, but I have to admit that the keyboard is wonderful! Even when I'm entering contacts it works great and switches itself to numbers or letters depending on what field (name or number) is being worked on.
The camera, although only 2 MB takes very nice pictures -- I do miss a zoom function, though.
The screen is bright and easy to read and I can easily adjust the sensitivity and vibrations as necessary -- I say this because I don't know if the other people who said their screens cracked were juggling their phones or using them to prop up a book case or what... It's sturdy enough for 'normal' use and I think it's works just fine.
Now, the phone has frozen up on me twice, but I've figured out why -- and I'm not all that smart! Both times it froze I was on the internet and it froze when I was trying to load a web page. Either the browser in the phone couldn't handle the action or the page I was trying to load wasn't in a WAP accessible format and so wasn't able to load. Either way a simple removal of the battery for a few seconds took care of this. (Personally, I think it's the browser as I surfed the internet for a couple of hours one night -- I had the charger plugged in; only going to WAP sites. When I tried to load a site I KNEW wasn't WAP the phone froze). This doesn't make the phone bad. It just says the pre-loaded browser sucks.
Also, when I was playing around with the GPS function while on a trip -- my wife was driving -- the phone got pretty hot. Well, this is to be expected of any electronic device! Again, not really a failing.
Overall I was trying to decide between the Xenon and the Samsung Impression and decided on this one because a reviewer on youtube said the keyboard was nicer. And I would agree, and would like to say that I am very happy with the phone! (Thanks PhoneDog).
ps -- Finding a good case for the Xenon -- I don't mean a plastic hard shell snap-on case -- isn't easy, though and I had to do some looking to find anything I liked.
 
5 Star Rating  "Love It!"2009-06-26
- Reviewed By User: A3LIVY10I9JR2L
I have had the phone for a couple of weeks and I love it. I had the LG Vu before this and I liked it too. The thing I like better about the Xenon is the slide out keyboard which is not touch like the screen. The Vu keyboard was touch and very sensitive to use. I also love the free Yellow Book application. It works like GPS, but it is free. There are a lot of great features with the phone. I bought my daughter one and she loves it too. She went from the Blackberry to the Xenon and likes it much better...plus it is cheaper to have the data package with the Xenon.
