LG eXpo Gets Official

Tweet

Starting today the LG eXpo is available from AT&T stores for just $199.99 with a 2-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. We knew it was coming and we were really expecting to see it. Unfortunately the mini projector is nowhere to be seen so if you buy the smartphone today you’re only getting a touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, Windows Mobile-running handset.

Sure the phone is worth buying, especially if you love Windows Mobile, but I bet that anyone waiting for the LG eXpo was also hoping to see the pico projector included in the package.

Let’s take a look at the officially official specs and features of the LG eXpo then:

• 3.2-inch touchscreen display
• 480 x 800 resolution
• Full QWERTY keyboard
• 1GHz processor
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS
• Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA
• EDGE connectivity
• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support
• 5-megapixel camera with 5x zoom and live video capture and playback
• Music player with various music services and apps
• 512MB internal memory
• Up to 16GB memory upgrade via microSD
• 1500mAh Li Ion battery
• Windows Mobile 6.5

Like I said before, from the specs and features point of view, the eXpo is certainly a dependable handset. You have a powerful 1GHz processor taking care of calls, emails, Internet browsing, pictures and video recording, music playing and all the apps you can find in the Marketplace. The full QWERTY keyboard should be more than useful for sending fast SMS messages and emails and the 5-megapixel camera is going to get you some pretty decent pictures on the go.

But whatever happened to that projector? Not every hot phone out there can offer you such a feature. And a portable projector, although not a must have accessory, is definitely a cool addition to the LG eXpo especially for gadget lovers like us. Neither LG nor AT&T has specified when we can expect to see the projectors in stores and we have no idea how much it will cost.

So what do you say folks? Are you going to get the LG eXpo or are you still waiting for the HTC HD2 to hit the States?
