Oh how things have changed in 6 months! Last summer, the PR folks at T-Mobile sent me this LG Sentio review unit. I played with it briefly and promptly got distracted by other shiny things. Read on... Today, it's a feature phone that's been completely eclipsed by the awesome (and affordable) LG Optimus T smartphone. In fact, considering the design parallels, the Sentio now merely looks and feels like a "poor-man's" Optimus T. Pros: - Small, thin, and light - Decent 3 megapixel camera - 3G (T-Mobile compatible), GPS, FM radio, and accelerometer - Bluetooth ObEx (file transfer/sync), A2DP (stereo audio), and DUN (tethering) - USB 2.0 mass storage support - Visual voicemail - Configurable messaging client (POP3/IMAP support) - HTML web browser - Google maps pre-installed Cons: - Resistive touchscreen - No camera auto-focus, macro, flash, or geo-tagging - Poor video recording (QVGA) - No multitasking other than music - No gapless music playback - No configurable IM client (no Jabber support) - Crippled Java support (no data connectivity for installed applications) - No iSync support (but vCard support) - Semi-proprietary (USB) audio connector - No memory card supplied with phone For more information, visit http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2010/12/04/quickie-lg-sentio/
