[NEWS] LG Venus

[phillynews215]

What's Good: Beautiful display; Context-sensitive menus; Extensive feature set; VZ Navigation works very well What's Not Good: Half a touchscreen sometimes feels gimmicky and frustrating; Touch controls sometimes unresponsive; Poor voice quality with unacceptable hiss on some calls; Somewhat bulky overall Bottom Line: Venus' half-touch/half-not display is an interesting idea that ultimately frustrated me more than it charmed me. The screens are beautiful and the morphing menus great, but I found myself wanting to touch the entire screen and not just the lower portion. Some won't mind this, though, and for those Venus may be a dream come true: it's a feature-rich slider with a beautiful high-res display and access to all of Verizon's multimedia offerings save VCAST TV.
