LG VX9400 Reviews

About.com reviews the LG VX9400 and writes;

Want a true head turner? The LG VX9400 will attract attention. Everywhere I popped it out, it would earn “Oh’s” and “Ah’s”… Other than that, the LG VX9400 has a sturdy design, an average to below average camera, fair battery life and a fine keypad.”

MobileTechReview reviews the LG VX9400 and writes;

“A very nice offering from LG and Verizon, and an exciting one since the LG VX9400 is one of the first two US TV phones. Even if you’re not in a metro area covered by Verizon’s new TV service, the VX9400 is worth a look thanks to its good call quality, strong reception, great display and overall good call quality. If you’re looking for TV but want the smallest possible phone, the Samsung u620 wins, though we still prefer the VX9400’s larger and better display.”

LaptopMag reviews the LG VX9400 and writes;

“As a phone, the VX9400 delivered clear conversations with plenty of volume and with ringtones loud enough to be heard from a pocket or pocketbook. Dialing and texting, however are made more difficult by the black-on-silver characters on the unevenly blue-backlit keypad, a combination that makes the tiny alpha characters difficult to read. But where the LG really shines is battery life, especially for TV watching. Our tests yielded six hours of TV watching time on the VX9400. This staying power alone may be enough to justify the pricetag for this phone. But add in the larger screen, top-notch camera quality, and faster downloads, and you have a surefire winner. ”

“So how good is the picture? Darn good, especially compared to other clip and streaming video heretofore available on cell phones. The picture is surprisingly crisp and detailed with plenty of color and contrast, slightly superior to the Samsung in the latter two categories… And how good is the reception? Darn good, especially compared to other clip and streaming video heretofore available on cell phones…The LG VX9400’s combination of unique design and surprisingly crisp TV quality and reception bodes well for this new category of phone. Even without the TV however, this is another superior phone from LG and Verizon. ”

“The mobile-TV experience here, on the other hand, is excellent. Uncork the giant antenna and shows look clear. Even the crawl text in news channels is readable, thanks to the 2.2-inch screen. Just like on the Samsung U620, you generally need to use a wired headset to listen, because Verizon doesn’t let the speaker volume get very high. Sorry, kids: No phone boom-boxing allowed…The Bottom Line: The VX9400 is the best phone for watching Verizon’s mobile TV service so far. But it might get on your nerves because making phone calls requires an extra flip.”

DigitalTrends reviews the LG VX9400 and writes;

“The T-bar screen also presents some ergonomic idiosyncrasies, mostly for actual phone calls. You have to swing the screen out to dial a call which leaves the earpiece at an odd angle to the microphone. This is not a bad thing necessarily, it just feels weird. You can swing the screen back into portrait mode to continue the call; it’s just that the extra back steps the process which makes using the VX9400 as a phone awkward. And like other candybar and slider phones, the exposed screen is vulnerable to the elements and whatever you’ve got in your pocket or bag that can leave scratches or smudges.”
