“The Vu is an idiosyncratic device that many folk will dismiss out of hand for its odd shape. But in its defence, I’d say it offers a lot of high-quality screen real estate, 32GB of storage and is the cheapest unlocked Tegra 3 smartphone around. It may take to leap of faith to get over the sheer bloody-minded strangeness of it but I think it a leap worth taking.”

If you are excited about trading up to a quality touch screen, the feature-rich LG Vu is one to consider. It has a beautiful 3 screen that fills the entire face of the phone, a virtual QWERTY keypad that makes texting simple and fun, a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus, 120MB of internal memory a...
In Depth
The LG Vu is very similar in design to the iPhone.
While the Vu may look like the iPhone, the touch interface was not nearly as smooth. Like the LG Dare, scrolling can be a problem with the Vu.
The screen measures three inches and boasts a 240 x 400 pixel resolution, placing it among the better displays available. Lacking an integrated light sensor, however, the Vu’s screen can be difficult to view in sunlight.
Below the large screen are three buttons: call, hang up and back/clear.
The LG Vu has a 2.0MP camera with autofocus and video record, Bluetooth, a full HTML browser and microSD expandability. The microSD card is placed beneath the battery which can be a bit annoying compared to a more convenient side-loading option.
With the LG Vu you get a full complement of phone features, including an alarm, calculator, and speakerphone. Talk time is rated at up to 180 minutes.
Surfing the internet with the Vu will be more enjoyable than with other phones due to the quality browser. You can also text, MMS, instant message, take pictures and record video. The LG Vu also offers mobile email. Depending on the service provider, mobile TV and XM radio are bundled options as well, at an additional monthly service fee.
Overall the LG Vu is a good, capable phone, but one that will demand a small learning curve in order to become familiar and comfortable with the touch interface.
Note: The LG Vu is available in two variants: the CU920 with Mobile TV using MediaFlo technology (AT&T) and the CU915 without MediFlo TV (Rogers).
