The LG Xenon, a cheap texter that was due to land for the holidays but still hasn’t bothered to show up to the party, has been pictured, and roughly reviewed. Verdict? Solid build, nice rubbery keyboard, and some nice address book improvements over the LG Vu. The OS is apparently reminiscent of TouchWiz, with draggable widgets galore, but is still very much in preproduction. Specs, as previously spotted, are:
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
- Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850MHz/2100MHz) for 3G data
- aGPS
- Wi-Fi
- 240×480 2.8? LCD
- 3 megapixel FF +VGA (VT)
- 950 mAh battery
- It’s physical size is 105.5 x 53.5 x 15.8 mm
- 100MB of memory with microSD support up to 16GB
- Bluetooth 2.0
- USB 2.0
- EMP U330 Lite Chipset
The Xenon should be available “very soon” on AT&T for $100 after a $50 mail-in rebate in three colours, two of which will be black and red.
