The LG eXpo which had recently made its way to AT&T can now be found north of the border on telus as the LG IQ. I only got a bit of time to try it out when playing with the rest of telus’ HSPA lineup, but between the 1 Ghz processor, Windows Mobile 6.5, projector attachment, and very cool fingerprint sensor, this is a compelling option for the corporate world. In fact, after seeing a video demo of the sensor in action, it makes me wonder why BlackBerry’s new optical trackpad wasn’t designed with fingerprint use in mind. Possibly the best part of all is that the IQ is available for only $99.99 on contract, a solid hundred bucks cheaper than AT&T. If you’re looking to grab one, it’s sitting pretty in the telus online store.
