That said, we still had some issues when scrolling through lists--sometimes we would accidentally select something by mistake. We got used to it eventually, so keep in mind that there's a slight learning curve involved. The Vu also supports haptic feedback, which provides tiny vibrations whenever something is selected. We found this great for confirming a selection, and it is especially useful when dialing and texting. Speaking of dialing and texting, we found the experience to be quite pleasant.
Sure you won't be able to dial by feel, but the numbers on the screen are large enough to hit without too many mistakes. Also, whenever you tap a key on the keyboard, the key will magnify showing you selected it, much like you would see on the Apple iPhone.
On the back is the camera lens and self-portrait mirror. You have to remove the battery as well as the SIM card to access the microSD card slot, which we found terribly inconvenient. But before we get into that, let's starts with the basics. The Vu comes with a entry contact list, which we found a little small, but each entry does have room for five phone numbers, two e-mail addresses, and a memo.
You can organize contacts by caller groups, pair them with photos for caller ID, and any of 12 polyphonic ringtones. Other essentials include vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, a calendar, a calculator, a tip calculator, a notepad, a world clock, a task list, a stopwatch, and a unit converter. Though the Vu does have e-mail support for a variety of providers BellSouth, Earthlink, and Yahoo, to name a few , it doesn't let you enter in your own POP3 address, which we found discouraging.
The music player has a slick interface, with easy-to-use controls and the ability to view album art. You can create your own playlists, and songs are divided into artists, albums, and genres. Along with downloading songs over the air, you can also load your own tunes to the device. The Vu has an internal storage memory of MB, but there's also a microSD card slot for additional storage.
Since the TV signals will route via MediaFLO's own network, you'll be able to receive live TV straight to your phone without any data or voice charges.
The Vu has a decent 2-megapixel autofocus camera, but we did wish it had a slightly higher megapixel count. You can take pictures in five resolutions 1,x1,; 1,x; x; x; x , three quality settings, five white-balance settings, and four color effects. Other settings include up to 2x zoom, three shutter sounds with a silent option, a macro mode, a night mode, and a self-timer. Photo quality was quite good.
Colors appeared accurate enough, and the autofocus was helpful in reducing the chance of a blurry photo. However, photos didn't look as sharp as we wanted, and we missed having a flash. The Vu also has a built-in camcorder that can record videos in two resolutions x and x with recording modes of up to 42 seconds for multimedia messages or up to the available storage space.
Camcorder settings are similar to that on the still camera. Video quality was predictably bad for a camera phone, with a lot of pixelation during movement. As we mentioned, the Vu has a full HTML browser, which renders full Web pages complete with the proper design templates and it even supports JavaScript.
It doesn't support Flash, however. You can view the browser in both portrait and landscape modes, and we love that we could move along Web pages by just moving a finger across the screen. It's definitely not as smooth as the iPhone, and we can't do the zooming with the pinching method, but it's still a pleasant Web-surfing experience.
There are plenty of personalization options with the LG Vu. There's even a Shop Ringtones shortcut right from the home screen.
The Vu comes with a few Web applications--InStyle Mobile Demo a mobile version of the magazine site , IMDB movies an app that lets you find show times and theatres of the latest movies , My-Cast 5 weather, and MySpace Mobile a mobile version of the popular social networking site --but you can download more if you wish. Call quality was excellent, with little to no distortion. We heard our callers clearly with plenty of volume, and they, too, didn't hear a lot of background noise. Speakerphone calls came through loud and clear, as well, though we did have to speak up a little bit more.
We will give a proper review of the service when we do. Web pages loaded in mere seconds, and a song download only took about minute. We also managed to stream video with little to no buffering time.
