Default The AT&T LG eXpo Unboxing and First Impressions

This is a two-part unboxing and first impressions video of the AT&T LG eXpo. The LG eXpo is a Windows phone, running Windows Mobile 6.5, and runs on the AT&T GSM network. It's a quad-band GSM phone, and a tri-band 3G phone, supporting the 850/1900/2100 bands. It's the first smartphone to be sold in North America that features the Qualcomm "SnapDragon" processor, which runs at 1024 mhz. The LG eXpo has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 512 MB of ROM, 256 MB of RAM, GPS, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g WiFi, and is 0.63 inches thick.

One of the more interesting things about this phone is the Pico Projector, an optional accessory - watch for my video on that coming up soon!

Nice unboxing review!

I am seriously thinking about getting this phone.. I have a Fuze now and have held out for something better than the Tilt2..

One question: Does it have a digital compass? I see some reviews that say it does and some that say it doesn't..

Also: please give us a picture and video quality example! I read that the video capture is 640x480, I was hoping for 720p..

Thanks!

-Matthew

Until Jason finishes his full review, you can check out the PhoneArena.com review (http://bit.ly/8211gh); it has some sample photos.

That review is somewhat light on detail about the video recording capabilities; however, a friendly person on another forum emailed me a sample video taken at maximum resolution, and it's 640x480 at 20 fps: not completely fluid, but looks pretty nice.
