One of the first phones from Sprint that can communicate via a QChat which is a push-to-talk technology and it is compatible with Nextel's Direct Connect Push-to-Talk service as well. As you can see on the front here, there is a large speaker grille. There's also a colorful external display. They come along on the front here as well. On side, you do get a large push-to-talk button, a volume rocker and a charger jack. On the other side, you do get a dedicated camera key as well as a headset jack. On top, you do get basically called an end keys for Direct Connect service. Open it up and you get a very nice display, very colorful and vibrant. On the bottom, you get a very typical navigation array. You get a dedicated speakerphone key, dedicated text message key. Some of the keypad itself, it's a little bit slippery but it's not too big of a deal as very well spaced. The pad is not coated at all so it's very easy to dial and text by feel. As far as features, you do get the push-to-talk service of course. You also get a 1.3 megapixel camera. You get wireless web browser. You also get Bluetooth. You also get GPS and EV-DO rev A service as well. So all in all, it's a very cool nice looking phone that also supports Sprints new push-to-talk QChat service. And it's only $79.99 with the two-year service agreement. My name is Nicole Lee, this has been the LG LX400. ^M00:01:33 [ Music ]
