Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After owning an iPhone, and deciding life would be simpler and cheaper without one, I went back to a pure talking-texting phone. The LG Xpression is simple and functional. I do NOT have skinny/pointy fingers, so the pullout keyboard was a must. I HATED the iPhone's touchscreen keyboard!!! iPhone letters are too small and I would always end up pushing a letter I didn't want to push. The Xpression's keyboard is a godsend for my clumsy fingers and I never have an issue texting. The touchscreen works fine (not as fast as an iPhone, but it really doesn't need to be), the phonebook and calendar functions allow for plenty of data and reminders, and the phone calls themselves are clear. You can download music and games, but I never used those functions on an iPhone, so I wouldn't use it on this phone anyway. There are only two downsides to this phone. 1. Size: The Xpression is compact, but the keyboard makes it a little thick (granted it still fits in a pocket easy enough). It just isn't as "thin" as an iPhone or droid. 2. Poor Camera: The on-board camera is obviously not close to the latest and greatest; however, I carry around a full-time camera (DSLR or Sony Cybershot) anyway, so for me, it is not an issue. If you find yourself not using the "Smart" applications of your "Smart" phone, or just want something cheap and simple, the LG Xpression is a nice alternative that keeps your eyes where they should be… looking up at the world.
