Our earlier video’s of the LG eXpo from AT&T reviews we had some questions about the speed of the fingerprint scanner and the Internet Explorer application. In this video I show you how both these work very well. Yes the internet speed can always go faster. I probably will install the Opera browser on this phone since I like this better compared to the Internet Explorer the Windows Phone comes with.
I have also addressed the question about the 3.5 mm headphone adapter. The LG eXpo comes with a headset where you can remove the earphones from the microphone section and connect your own favorite earphones to the microphone. This will give you the headset with your own earphones.

I can’t help but think that the fact this phone runs the ever-so-dated Windows Mobile 6.5, that this will slow sales.
LG should follow the rest of the industry, and quickly migrate to Android.
Cool looking phone. How is the call quality on the LG eXpo in 2g and 3g modes?
Very nice, really like the fingerprint scan thing
