Product Description
A quick messaging phone boasting a full keyboard for text messaging beneath its vibrant colors, the stylish blue-and-gray LG Neon helps you stay connected whenever and wherever you roam with its bright touchscreen-enabled LCD screen (for dialing only) and slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. You’ll be able to keep up with friends and family while on the go using text messaging, mobile e-mail, and instant messaging via popular services including AOL, Yahoo! and Windows Live (messaging charges apply).



The LG Neon with a 2.4-inch touchscreen with vibrating feedback…
With AT&T’s GoPhone pay-as-you-go service, you pay for just the minutes you use without having to sign up for an annual contract–this phone even comes with $50 of airtime included (see more details below). You can easily refill your minutes via prepaid cards or the Internet, or choose to prepay each month and roll over unused minutes.

Other features include a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, microSD memory expansion to 4 GB, digital audio player and support for AT&T Mobile Music service (additional charges applicable), EDGE cellular data connectivity, organizer tools, and up to 3 hours of talk time.

AT&T GoPhone Service
AT&T’s pay-as-you-go GoPhone plans are wireless plans made easy. Simply pay in advance for what you need. No long-term contracts, credit checks, or surprise bills–just all the benefits of wireless, with no complications. In addition, AT&T’s Rollover Balance feature lets you carry over your unused account balance when you purchase refill minutes before your balance expires. Other great features include no long distance or roaming fees across AT&T’s national service area, the ability to track usage via text messages with an updated balance after each call, and the ability to refill your minutes 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. You can also cancel any time without penalty.

With the Pay As You Go option, you’ll choose the rate plan that fits your needs and then start dialing. Your balance is lowered each time you make or receive a call or use services such as text messaging. You can then refill the minutes in your account via the Internet, using your phone (by calling 611 from your cell), or purchasing a pre-paid card in denominations up to $100.

With the Pick Your Plan option, you’ll set up monthly, automatic payments with your credit/debit card or checking account. If you need to make more calls or you use up your balance during the month, just add minutes to your account at any time–you’ll pay the same per-minute rate as your plan. You can buy more minutes in increments of $15 and $25 using your credit/debit card or checking account.

AT&T has also introduced a new $3 Unlimited calling plan, which charges you $3 per day for unlimited voice calls to anyone nationwide with no per-minute charges. The $3 per day fee is only charged on days when you make or receive a voice call, and the service does not require a deposit or long-term commitment.



…and a smooth, slide-out full QWERTY keyboard for easy text messaging and writing longer e-mails.
$50 GoPhone Airtime Credit
The $50 airtime credit available only to GoPhone Pay As You Go customers activating or upgrading using the device contained with the airtime credit package. GoPhone Pick Your Plan is not eligible for any credits. Postpaid customers using this device as an upgrade may be eligible for a credit of 150 minutes. Airtime or minutes credit are provided only in connection with this new device purchase and will not be applied to an account using any other device. Airtime will be credited automatically after activation of the included device. Airtime credit will expire 90 days from the date it is applied to the account.

For new GoPhone customers, once the device and SIM are activated SIM cannot be used with any other device for a set period of time. Existing customers replacing their handsets must have been active customers for at least 4 months on the date of upgrade to receive the airtime or minutes credit and are only qualified to receive one credit every 6 months. Existing postpaid customers must also be on a Rollover plan. Existing customers must use their existing SIM with the new phone not the new SIM. For GoPhone service details and rate plan terms and conditions, see applicable brochure and User Guide or go to terms and conditions.

Phone Features
The LG Neon has a 2.4-inch LCD with a 240 x 400-pixel resolution and support for 262K colors, and it also has an accelerometer for auto-rotation of the screen when you turn it from portrait to landscape view.

Other features include a customizable equalizer and visualization, the ability to multitask in other phone applications while still playing music, and easy transfer of files from your PC via USB (optional cable available separately). The phone also includes a flight mode, which allows you to continue playing music while turning off the cellular radio.

My LG Neon GT365 is Terrific!!!
 
Review Date: January 4, 2010
Reviewer: South La. boy, south Louisiana
I’m a long-time att customer whose old phone went bad. Instead of going to the ATT/ripoff artists, I bought this LG Neon GT365 GoPhone. I swapped my old phone’s sim card into this GoPhone, turned it on and WOW!!! It instantly hooked up with the ATT network and worked perfectly from the beginning. I received an automated text from ATT that informed me of my existing account being credited with the $50 airtime credit!!! When I went to my account at att, I found that my device had been updated to this phone and a note was on my account explaining the new credit that had been added to my account.

As for the phone itself: The camera works perfectly; the cell’s audio is perfect; the bluetooth works perfectly; the slide-out QWERTY keyboard works really well, even with my big, stubby fingers; the phone and its capabilities are very easy to figure out and use - very intuitive; the battery life is exceptionally good - 3 days between charges; the screen is touch with vibration feedback WHEN YOU DIAL and works really well. To top it all off, I put in a 2GB microSD card and now can store a gazillion pics and tunes.

The thing I can’t figure out is the criticism of the battery life that I’ve read in reviews elsewhere. I text with my kids and wife constantly, usually with a picture going or coming; I bluetooth constantly; I make loads of calls a day to/from my customers yet I am only charging this phone every three days or so?!?!? HAH!!! And when this battery starts going bad, I’ll go to the net and pick up a new one for next to nothing - what’s so hard about that?

My only knock would be the unbelievably cheesy battery/back cover. It is a really flimsy, cheap, thin piece of molded plastic that took several careful attempts to snap it in place. That being said, I’ve had no problems with it since. Go figure…

Lastly - I HIGHLY recommend this LG Neon GT365 GoPhone to anybody and everybody! And, FYI, Amazon has the lowest price anywhere! Period! As to the problems someone else reviewing this product had, I have NEVER had a single problem with ANY product that I bought on Amazon that wasn’t quickly and fairly resolved by Amazon or the vendors that sell through them.

I highly recommend the phone AND Amazon.com.
Loved it

Well, I have to admit that i was very skeptical before recieving this phone. Many people had said this phone was aweful. After a month (give or take) of use, i have found this phone to be WNODERFUL. I have no problems with the battery, and i love the keyboard. The color ( i have a blue one) is absolutly gorgeous!! Amazon was very quick on shipping, and i have no complaints. i have had no problems at all with this phone, and would recomend it to anyone.
Great phone

Reviewer: S. Ralph, Sumter, SC USA
I bought this phone to replace one I had that wasn’t working well. I need to say though that I do not use this with a gophone plan. I have a regular family plan with AT&T and of course the customer service will not tell you that you can use a gophone as a replacement. If you aren’t eligible for an upgrade they will tell you that you have to buy one at full price, usually $200 & up. Gophones work just fine, just don’t use the sim card that comes with it, put in the one from your old phone. It actually has directions inside the package that tells you how to use the gophone with your regular plan, and they credit the $50 airtime as like an extra 150 minutes to your plan. As far as the phone, I couldn’t be happier. The slide feature is great with the qwerty keyboard and the battery life has been great. We have three LG phones in our plan and they all use the same chargers, which is very convenient.
This is a great buy & Phone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewer: Jessica L. Cabler, Alabama, AL, USA
It took a bit to adjust to the keypad. I formerly had an LG VUE and loved the touch-screen. However, that particular phone malfunctioned multiple times and the screen became unresponsive. The Neon is a great messaging phone. The phone sends and receives pic and video messages much quicker than the VUE (which sometimes didn’t send image files at all.) The camera is fine quality for a cell. The only things I am not crazy about: lack of keypad (unless you slide the phone open) when calling, and no night feature in camera mode (that I can find.) Otherwise, the phone works well, sound quality is good, etc. Good product for the price.

Product Description
The first Android-powered phone for Verizon Wireless, the 3G-enabled Motorola DROID smartphone offers a full package of powerful mobile connectivity–from easy access to all your social networks and viewing of full Web sites to spoken turn-by-turn directions thanks to the new Google Maps with Navigation Beta app. One of the thinnest full-QWERTY slider phones available, the Motorola DROID also features a high-resolution 3.7-inch touchscreen display and a virtual onscreen keyboard that auto-rotates depending on the phone’s orientation. And you’ll be able to capture high-resolution images and DVD-quality videos on the go with its 5-megapixel camera with flash.



The Motorola DROID offers the powerful Android 2.0 operating system, fast and reliable Verizon Wireless 3G connectivity, and a wealth of Google Mobile services–including the new Google Maps with Navigation app.
With integrated Google technology, the Motorola DROID brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services millions use every day, including Google Search by Voice, YouTube and Picasa. The DROID also provides easy access to both personal and corporate email, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail.

In addition to 3G connectivity, the DROID offers Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g) for accessing home and business networks as well as hotspots while on the go and Bluetooth connectivity for both hands-free devices and stereo music streaming. Other features include memory expansion via microSD memory cards (a 16 GB card is included with the device), threaded text and picture messaging for seamless on-the-go conversations, Visual Voicemail capabilities, 3.5mm headset jack, and up to 6.4 hours of talk time.

Here are just a few of the things that the Motorola DROID can do for you:

  • Zip through the Web: Access the Internet at 3G speeds via the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network or from any Wi-Fi hotspot. The multi-window HTML browser with a massive processor delivers the Web the way you expect.
  • See it all in cinema-style: View the Web, email, Google Maps, videos and more in widescreen on a brilliant 3.7-inch high-resolution screen. Boasting a width of 854 pixels to reduce the need for side-to-side panning and more than 400,000 pixels total, DROID has more than twice that of the leading competitor.
  • Run multiple applications at once: Customize your DROID with thousands of applications and hundreds of widgets available on Android Market. Toggle back and forth between up to six applications at a time to juggle the universe and your apps.
  • Perform Google Search at the speed of sound: Simply tell DROID what you’re looking for using voice-activated search, and it will serve up Google search results based on your location. If you want more, simply type what you’re looking for into the search bar on the home screen and DROID will also search content on your phone, such as apps and contacts, and the Web.
  • Capture moments: Snap digital camera-quality photos with a 5-megapixel camera loaded with the works, such as a dual-LED flash, auto-focus and image stabilization, or capture your friend’s antics in 16 million colors with DVD-quality video capture and playback. Store it all on the included 16 GB memory card, so you always have it on hand.
  • Multi-task like a master: Keep tabs on all your messages with integrated Gmail and Exchange email pushed directly to you, but don’t let them get in your way. With the handy Android notification panel, go straight to the message or simply ignore it, and get back to the task at hand. And, a smart dictionary learns as you type and automatically includes your contacts.


    Other features include a 3.7-inch touchscreen, slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, real HTML web browsing, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, microSD memory expansion (with included 16 GB card), and access to both personal and corporate email (see larger image).


    See a schematic of all the controls.
  • Get where you need to go with Google Maps Navigation (Beta): DROID is the first device with Google Maps Navigation, providing turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free feature of Google Maps. It’s powered by Google and connected to the Internet. Use voice shortcuts and simply say “Navigate to [your destination],” and you’ll be on your way. See live traffic, use Street View or satellite imagery to view your route, and get access to the most recent maps and business information from Google Maps without ever needing to update your device.
The Motorola DROID comes pre-loaded with a variety of Google and Verizon Wireless mobile services, including:
  • Google Maps: With layers in Google Maps, view geographic information, such as My Maps, Wikipedia, and transit lines, right on the map.
