LG Revolution (Verizon Wireless) Video Transcript
I'm Nicole Lee, Senior Associate Editor for CNET.com and this is a first look at the LG Revolution for Verizon Wireless. It is the third ever 4G phone for Verizon Wireless and on the front here as you can see is a very nice and roomy 4.3-inch display. It is very bright and colorful as you can see here. Underneath it is you get 4 touch sensitive Android keys at the bottom. On the back is a 5-megapixel camera. Above the display is a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. The LG Revolution has a 1GHz SnapDragon processor. The interface is not quite vanilla; it has LG's own spin on it however, it's not that intrusive. Because the Revolution is from Verizon Wireless, it comes with the whole suite of Verizon Wireless apps. To include the V CAST Apps, VZ Navigator and more. Instead of Google Search and Google Maps, the Revolution shifts with the Bing Maps and Bing Search instead. That's because of Verizon's partnership with MicroCell's Bing service. Other features of the phone include the usual Android features like Gmail and tight integration with other Google services. A few notable built-in apps on the phone include Amazon's Kindle Reader, as well as Netflix. In fact, the LG Revolution is one of a few Android phones to shift with Netflix built-in. The LG Revolution is available for 249 dollars with the new two-year service agreement with Horizon Wireless. I'm Nicole Lee and this has been the first look at the LG Revolution.

LG Revolution VS910 (Verizon Wireless) Review
The good: The LG Revolution has a great 4.3-inch display, 4G LTE speeds, and both a front and rear camera. It also has rich multimedia offerings that include HDMI, DLNA, 720p HD video, and a preinstalled Netflix app..
The bad: The LG Revolution's search and maps are powered by Bing instead of Google, the default Android keyboard is unavailable, and the Verizon apps are not removable. Call quality is mediocre. It doesn't have the high-end feature set to match its high price.
The bottom line: The LG Revolution may not be the revolutionary handset it claims to be, but it's still a solid Verizon 4G Android phone with the bonus of the Netflix app.
