The ATT 3G network uses the dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900 MHz network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives ATT the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. p In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the ATT EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where ATT offers international data roaming. p With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access ATT's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) p You get access to ATT Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the go, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. And it has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. ATT's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. p Note that if you want to enjoy the full audio and video capabilities of your UMTS phone, be sure to select a MEdia Max service plan option during checkout. If you do not sign up for a MEdia Max service plan option, you will be paying per KB when you use the over-the-air UMTS audio and video features on your phone (upwards of $10 per minute). p table align=left width=250 cellpadding=10 trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/B0018OKDNG-vu-cu920-tv.jpg" border=0 align=top width=250 height=154brbrsmallibChoose from a wide assortment of channels from ATT Mobile TV./b/i/small/td/tr /table bATT Mobile TV/bbr ATT Mobile TV with FLO is a revolutionary video service that delivers full-length television content and sporting events from top networks to your phone while you're on the go.

 Be practical fellows October 15, 2008
Hey guys I have been using the fone for the past one month and I am completely satisfied with the product. Voice quality is awesome. Touch screen is fantastic and its loaded with goodies. On the flip side, battery life might be a little low... but i am comparing it to the NOKIA phones with no real features on it.. being a touch fone with 3G and stuff I was expecting it to be little low... SO no qualms regarding battery life... The head fone jack and the audio jack are the same and so that might be a problm for some... Camera is one aspect which i felt they could have improved... It doesnt seem to be as good as 2MP... but overall i am completely satisfied with the product and that too it came for a mere $50... so couldnt ask for more...

Stop selling phones locked to one cellular service!! Start selling unlocked phones that can be used anywhere with the service of our choice, force cellular services to become more competitive.
A solid performer with mods slowly coming in October 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First of all this phone at heart is a solid cell phone with great call quality. There's currently quite a few mods available at lg-vu.com forum,lookup the mod section. There's an excellent slide them available that really makes this phone quite nice. I'll be honest when I first got this phone I hated it,but after giving it a chance to grow on me I love it. I got operamini working on my phone with a little work but after downloading an alternate version of 4.1 it works perfect. I don't like media net as much as opera,so at least you can use opera . You can also use orb on this phone which ,reported by some modders can be used to get free internet on the Vu. In our forum there's constantly new mods coming out for the Vu. Some of which make the phone much better than its default settings. Like for instance using operamini as opposed to medianet. By far the best feature of this phone is the mobileTv which looks much better than any streaming video you've seen on any cell phone to date. But with very limited markets for mobileTV you'll be hard pressed to get it in your area. If you are a heavy texter ,you might consider getting a phone with a dedicated keyboard,BUT SOME people like the Vu's touchscreen for texting. Again you can calibrate the touch screen to your finger touch style. I don't have any battery problems or battery life ,but I have turned off all of the touch feedback functions and little beeps and blips that arent't nessessary to the function of the phone. Just return the phone to its charger everynight and your good to go. The battery is memory free so ,don't be worried about keeping it on the charger when you get home. There is a battery life indicator and a signal strength indicator, I noticed other reviewers saying there isnt but there is ,at least on my version . If you want mobileTV this phone by far is the clear winner, NOT STREAMING jaggy but good qaulity broadcast with no buffering. Games are quite fun on the Vu and in the lg-vu.vom forum there's a download section for 32 games ,that don't cost very much. how about free all popular games. There's also current work on your forum of getting allot iPhone type mods like the keyboard ,drum,etc, There's even a user with OG Zelda working perfect on their Vu. This little phone is really capable of allot of upgrades and I'm always surprised at one comes out next. There's even a way to increase the volume beyond the max loudness of the phone, But you gotta be a little tech savvy to get it to work,but there are instructions and if you happen to brick your phone there's file backups so you can reset your phone . Is this the poor mans iPhone , you could say that, but this phone is good as a phone/phone and in the right hands will be a stellar phone. Bluetooth enabled beauty and you can get one free with a new plan at some other retailers if the flys on the wire so to speek hint hint.

 Clearing up mis-reviews October 5, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
First, unlike a few of the reviews, I actually 1) own the phone and 2) waited to do the review. I like to know what I'm talking about when I review a product.br /br /There's not much to add in the area of Pros and Cons. Everyone's just about covered the:br /br /Great Screen, a little dim in full daylight, but very responsive.br /My call quality is better than my HTC Tilt, reception better as well.br /QWERTY keyboard is fantastic.br /Very snappy interface.br /br /The Cons that people are mentioning:br /br /Battery life. Any 3G phone has a reduced battery life.br /br /Here's how to turn off 3G on the Vu if you don't plan on using it.br /br /1. Dial 277634#*# on the keypad to access the Test Menubr /2. Select Modem Settingsbr /3. Select Network Modebr /4. Select Network Mode (again)br /5. Select what bands you wish to be active. (select 2G if you want to make the 3G searching stop. This is what reduces battery life.)br /6. Press the Clear/Back button until you return to the main screenbr /br /Shutting off 3G just about doubles the battery life. Also, someone said there is no charging indicator, that's wrong. It's right on the screen. Hopefully someone will make a hack to give percentages.
