Quantum by SportsCar-Builder (Dec, 2010)The phone is nice but if you are looking at the big screen thinking it will be easier to read you are in for a bad shock.
Quantum by SportsCar-Builder (Dec, 2010)The screen is big and the "FIXED" font sizes are even smaller than the phones with small screens.

Quantum by gluis2k (Mar, 2011)I wont go throgh all the details in the operating system because there are so many other reviews that have already covered it, and im sure youve done your research.
Quantum by Andrew-D.-Lossing--Go-real. (Nov, 2010)Every aspect of the phone shows careful attention to detail, a great sense of artistry, and a mature understanding of what a mobile device should be.

Quantum by C.-Ricketts--CharCats (Jun, 2011)However, the actual data within the contact & text message is equivalent to a 4pt on your word processor.

Quantum by dv220s (Jan, 2012)Camera key is a little small and needs to jut out a little more and be wider for it to be a perfect 2 stage camera key.

Quantum by James-K-Polk--Napoleon-of-the-Stump (Dec, 2011)My daily usage has never drained the battery to below 60% yet either, so my verdict is that the battery seems to be performing just fine.

Apps
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by Edward-Lee (Jan, 2011)I am connecting to a corporate Exchange account, and email/calendar/contact sync have worked flawlessly.
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by Jeremiah-Stoddard (Jan, 2012)This isn't a problem for me, since most of my browsing takes place on Wi-Fi networks, with the carrier's data plan being used almost solely for the occassional email.
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by WP7Duke (Nov, 2010)The Zune pass is great, especially for those who really enjoy listening to a lot of music.
Operating system
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by J.-Woodruff--Person (Dec, 2011)This phone is an absolute joy to use!!! Not only is the operating system (Windows Phone OS) absolutely incredible, but the hardware of the phone itself is very high quality!
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by Rabbit (Aug, 2011)i love my windows phone i bought one unlocked becuase i dont live in america but the hardware looks great and the os is amazing the best one out in my opinion and with the update comeing that gives a reported over 500 new features will make this one of the best phones out.
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by Jeremiah-Stoddard (Jan, 2012)The OS is friendly, and my subjective perception of its performance is similar to that of the much higher-spec'd iPhones that family members have.
Screen
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by dv220s (Jan, 2012)The screen doesn't look as easing as it doesn't feel like super-high quality glass, though the screen itself is magnificent.
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by carrie (Jan, 2012)although u cannot have a picture as your screen saver you can change the color of ur screen saver (which shown in the picture is blue).
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by Gruntled-Pig (Aug, 2011)The phone itself is very well made and features high quality materials.
Type
LG Quantum | Rated 73% by by c|net (Nov, 2010)We still think the Samsung Focus is the best Windows Phone 7 device overall, but that said, those who want a physical keyboard will be well served by the Quantum.
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by James (Mar, 2012)Windows phone is definitly a new experience, I have used both Iphone and android phones before, really liked the windows phone layout and responsivness.
LG Quantum | Rated 80% by by Jay (May, 2012)This phone is a good windows phone with windows 7 experience.
Keyboard
LG Quantum | Rated 100% by by carrie (Jan, 2012)i would suggest this fone to anyone who likes to have big keyboards for room to type and its great for surfing the web.
LG Quantum | Rated 73% by by c|net (Nov, 2010)The LG Quantum is AT&T's third Windows Phone 7 behind the Samsung Focus and the HTC Surround, but it's the first one to offer a full QWERTY keyboard.
LG Quantum | Rated 80% by by G.-Gillen--daddy-oo (Jan, 2011)Having been a fan of the LG Focus's keyboard and the VERY solid feel of the device when I handled it, I figured you really can't go wrong for $49.
