LG Vu Plus

$150.00 Released June, 2010

The Pros:AT&T Mobile TV feature is a major selling point - lacks buffering and streaming issues due to integrated network component. Touchscreen interface is very responsive - easy to navigate between different icons and applications. Three-way home screen interface is ideal for multitasking users - makes it easy to switch between services with a single prompt.

The Cons:Lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack - significantly reduces music playback capabilities and personal video viewing experience. General internet browsing is laggy and awkward - pages load slowly and are difficult to navigate. Picture quality is somewhat lacking - pales in comparison to similar models from Motorola and HTC.
