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
