Design - What I like about this smart phone is its attractive design

LG Xenon measures 4.16 inches long x 2.11 inches wide x 0.62 inch thick.
At first glance, it just appears to be another touchscreen phone. Xenon has smooth, sleek lines all around, with a touch of chrome around the border. It is a little smaller and thicker than the LG Vu. The Xenon is fairly lightweight at 3.81 ounces, and it's slim enough to fit in a front pocket.

Pros :
- an attractive touch-screen display,
- a great QWERTY keyboard,
- customizable standby screens,
- plenty of shortcuts,
- features like 3G speeds, quad-band support, a 2-megapixel camera, GPS, and more.

Cons :
- lack of POP or IMAP e-mail support,
- touch screen suffers from a slight learning curve,
- Web browser feels a little clunky,
- limited to only six widgets to customize the home screen.

The bottom line is - Despite of few problems, the LG Xenon is one of the better messaging phones with a cool touch-screen interface and plenty of features....
