“Sprint’s One Click interface is a nifty feature that makes getting around the phone pretty easy. You can have up 15 tiles in the carousel and there are 46 options for these tiles. Your options include weather, email, Twitter/MySpace/Facebook, financial reports, games, favorite contacts, music, and much more..”

“Voice quality was solid in both directions, with a warm tone and few audio dropouts even in rural areas with low signal. But reception was poor, just like with the last model…”

CNET reviews the LG Lotus Elite LX610 and writes;
“The good: The LG Lotus Elite has a striking design with an external touch screen, a great QWERTY keyboard, and plenty of messaging and multimedia features. It has great call quality as well.The bad: The LG Lotus Elite has similar features with its predecessor and we think the photo quality could be improved. We also wished the speakerphone had better audio quality. The LG Lotus Elite’s unique look might not be for everyone.”

Mobileburn hands-on reviews the LG Lotus Elite LX610 and writes;
“We really liked the build quality of the device, and loved how the camera faced the Lotus Elite user when the device was opened, but faced away from the user like a normal camera when the phone was folded shut. The external touchscreen was reasonably responsive, and the internal QWERTY keyboard offered nice tactile feedback.”
