I am one of those people who prefer a physical keyboard along with touchscreen and it's 2015 (the phone came out 2010) I love the way the interface looks and it's easy for me to navigate. I always loved the look of the tiles and the graphics and pictures have a nice quality on the screen. I unlocked mine and upgraded it to Windows 7.8. I heard it MIGHT be possible to upgrade to Windows 8 and I have yet to figure that out. I used to have AT&T and switched to Consumer Cellular so it definitely works with other brands. You can also make voice commands or have it automatically type what you are speaking (it's not as great as accurate as IOS voice commands). Cons: You may not be able to send or receive mms messages such as pictures or photos. If someone sends them to you, you can't see it either. I don't really send or receive many media messages so it doesn't bother me too much. Alternatively, send a direct link or email it. If you use Gmail, it is no longer supported on this phone. A solution would be to forward your email to Live/Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. I also use Google calendar often, so I had to pull the link from my google calendars and import them into Live calendars. That worked out very easily. As for Contacts, I just exported them from Gmail and imported them to Live. Depending on how savvy you are with technology, it could be tedious or simple task. The Apps in marketplace are outdated since you're getting the ones from Windows 7.8. You may miss out on some of nicer and newer apps. It is an old phone so makes sense. People complain that it is a bit heavy. As someone who often can't find their phone, I prefer heavy or too light.Read full review
This phone was just awesome, especially with the full slide-out keyboard. I think it's the only Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" device that currently has that. What wasn't to like? It had: - Extraordinarily user-friendly and easy to use. - Built-in voice assistant (web searches, texting your friends by voice, launching apps, etc.) - Built-in GPS and directions - Live tile home screen is a game-changer. Social updates, email, weather, sports scores, and almost any other piece of info you can think of, shown immediately on your home screen. - Xbox Live - awesome games like Splinter Cell, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Full House Poker, Wordament, and much more (your avatar and achievements fully synchs with an actual Xbox also) - Microsoft Office - Internet Explorer 9 HTML5 browser - this is even an add-on for Windows 7, but it's built-in here - 80,000 apps available: there wasn't anything I needed that I couldn't find on the Marketplace - Zune music/video player and music store PLUS, LG was the first manufacturer to provide WP7 augmented reality apps for free. Stuff like the cool ScanSearch, where you just move the phone around and see the nearest businesses by category. (I got a Nokia Lumia 900 so that I'd have the same phone as my wife and mom, otherwise I'd still have this one.)Read full review
The LG Quantum is a fast, easy-to-use phone, with a great build. What was appealing to me when I was looking at purchasing the product was the screen size, and the large slide-out keyboard. Upon receiving the LG Quantum and playing around with it for a while, I noticed very little lag and found that most applications opened very quickly. Here are some of the pros and cons I discovered while using the phone: Pros: - Fast, easy to use interface (Windows Mobile 7) - Spacious slide-out keyboard - Capacitive touch-screen is very sensitive - Nice, solid housing - Camera takes good pictures Cons: - Feels heavy in hand... nearly half a pound in weight! - Doesn't have a microSD card slot. (All internal memory)
I do admit that this is a likeable device and if I were in the market for an expensive Zune or iPod Nano this might be my choice. BUT I want a smart phone that can do email, office documents, handle contacts, calendar, task lists and SYNC with my PC based Outlook. Even though this is a Windows Phone 7 device it WILL NOT SYNC with PST files and unless you are into managing all your contacts with Windows Live, Facebook, or GMail (small business contact list, I think not) will not sync (except contacts on an Exchange server) It does, however, have MS Office included as an application complete with One Note. Still will not sync the calendar even with 3rd party software. Address book entries do not meet the expected content of Outlook so you end up using the notes field. Now if and when I become Facebook centric or decide I need to live on Windows Live or just want an entertainment device that can make phone calls as an after thought this would be my choice. Even if Microsoft were to include sync with Outlook PST files in the Mango release I might choose this phone. I like the feel, the weight, the office applications (except the abysmal Outlook emulation)the web browser, access to POP3 and IMAP email, and the camera. But for now I'll restore everything to my N97 and be happy.Read full review
This phone makes it so easy to stay organized. I have access to all my microsoft documents. I can stay connected to facebook, dont have to log in and with the great camera, it is easy to upload photos. All the menus are easy to access and straightforward. The touchscreen is very responsive. I have been able to stream netflix on it with no problems. a word of caution about the internet usage. I have a wireless router at my home and am able to connect this phone to it (very simply), if you dont have that, then make sure you get the $25 internet package from AT&T, i blew through the 200MB (the smallest $15 plan)in just 3 days. I am very happy with my purchase so far
