Since the day of its launch in April 2009, the LG Xenon has created a lot of flutter in the market with its ability to offer features that are at par with some of the best texting phones in the market.

Designed to Perfection: Yes, perfect is the word that comes to mind when you look at the first four rows in the QWERTY keyboard that are just ideal for typing long messages. It is hard to think of any other device that provides such a wonderful setting of keypads that suits both the hard-handed and the touch typists. Further, the handiness on the keyboard has been further enhanced by providing shortcut keys for emailing, sending SMS, downloading your IM or dialing in to the contacts list. The overall design exudes durability, something that has been missing among other contemporary models in this category. The styling is neither too loud nor too understated, like mentioned before, it is just perfect. Users can easily tune the brightness and time-out of the screen display to save on battery life. Upon opening the keyboard, the view is automatically switched to landscape and most icons are rotatable, both in the portrait and landscape mode.

Other Features: The display boasts of 240 x 400 pixels and the screen is meant for some heavy-duty performance and is close to being scratch resistant. The entire touch screen usability is very responsive and icons tend to react to the slightest of touches from the fingertip. If you try to drag the web browser, it becomes easy to understand just how well this functionality performs. The biggest improvement that LG displays via the Xenon is the home screen that is presented in a three-page format along with a dedicated left, right and center metaphor. The main display provides a simple overview of general information. The home or the main screen has a rounded tab that contains a plethora of widgets which can be dragged out by the user. It offers 100 MB each for User & Flash memory and supports all types of messaging services, i.e. from the popular providers like Yahoo, AOL and Windows Live Messenger. The 3G speeds are quite impressive and even the quad-band GSM Xenon offers a very reasonable voice quality. Since it supports both 3G and HSDPA, the Xenon is compatible with a wide array of broadband services and it is easy to download streaming clips from news content providers like CNN. External memory is supported via SDHC microSD with a maximum capacity of 16GB. Bluetooth 2.0 networking features the new +EDR and can support two simultaneous connections.

Conclusion: The LG Xenon is attractively priced when compared to phones with similar features and specifications. It sports a highly intuitive user interface and its screen is reasonably sensitive to touch. Equipped with an average 2 megapixel camera and support for 3G network, the LG Xenon has not much to complain about.
