	USA Service ProvidersUSA Service ProvidersThese carriers offer the device for sale and for use on their network.	Verizon

	CDMA BandsCDMA BandsCode Division Multiple Access is the method in which voice communication is sent over the network using a spread-spectrum technology. Depending on the service provider, it uses one or more bands: 800, 1900, and 2100 MHz.	800,1900 MHz

	CDMA2000CDMA2000This is a 3G standard to communicate voice and data through a network. The first implementation was 1xRTT (1 times Radio Transmission Technology) and has a theoretical maximum data rate of 153 kbps. An upgraded standard called 1xEV-DO Rev. A, or sometimes shorted to EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) has a peak data rate of 3000 kbps.	1xRTT

	WiFiWiFiA localized wireless internet connection standard that operates in the 2.4 GHz band. Most WiFi implementations support the b and g standards (at 11 Mbps and 55 Mbps maximum data rates respectively). The newer n standard offers up to 110 Mbps in some situations, with compatible equipment.	802.11 b/g

	BluetoothBluetoothThis is an open-standard used to transfer audio and data over very short distances on the 2.4 GHz band. Version 2.0 and 2.1 include EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) for faster data rates over the version 1 standard. Depending on the implementation and power level it may be designed to operate over distances of 3 feet to 300 feet. Version 2.x uses a data rate of 3 Mbps, and version 3.0 uses 24 Mbps.	2.1 + EDR

	InfraredInfraredThis very low speed communication method is typically used for the direct line-of-site operation of other remote devices.	no

	Battery type	Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)

	Battery capacityBattery capacityWhile mildly interesting, without knowing the current draw (which changes greatly depending on what functions are active) it does not provide any indication of how long the device will run.	1500 mAH

	Talk timeTalk timeThis is a very rough estimate by the manufacturer of how long the device functions starting with a full charge. Your milage will vary!	7.5 hours

	Standby time (max)Standby time (max)This indicates how long the device should function in standby mode without using any functions.	500 hours

	Charging Cable	Micro USB to USB cable for charging

	Android version	2.2

	User interface	LG Home

	WeightWeightThis is the weight of the device with a standard battery. It does not include a case cover or other optional attachments.	5.6 ounces

	Width	2.2 inches

	Height	4.6 inches

	Depth	0.6 inches

	ScreenScreenThis is the screen size measured diagonally.	3.2 inches

	Screen resolutionScreen resolutionThis is the number of pixel dots that appear on the screen - horizontal x vertical.	800 x 480 pixels

	Screen technologyScreen technologyThe type of display, typically LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or eInk. There are a number of LCD variations, such as TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) or OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode).	LCD

	Touch screen	yes

	Touch screen typeTouch screen typeTypically either Resistive or Capacitive technologies are used. Capacitive is more sensitive than Resistive. Devices so noted also include Multi-touch, where gestures using two fingers are detected.	Multi-Touch Capacitive

	Internal RAMInternal RAMRandom Access Memory.	256 MB

	Internal StorageInternal StorageThis is the flash memory internal to the device. On a few devices, the internal memory can be expanded. Note that the operating system and pre-loaded applications will consume a poriton of this memory.	126 MB

	External Type	microSD card

	External Storage (incl)External Storage (incl)This is the memory on an external storage card included with the device.	2 GB

	External Storage (max)	16 GB

	Processor	Qualcomm MSM7627

	Processor speedProcessor speedThe speed of the processor provides a very rough idea of performance between devices using the same processor type and same number of cores.	600 MHz

	Processor coresProcessor coresMultiple cores can significantly increase the devices performance when matched to an OS that support multiple cores. Android versions 2.4 & 3.0 and later support multi-cores, while older OS versions will only use a single core.	1

	USB Version	2.0

	Keyboard Type	Physical

	Audio Jack	3.5 mm

	Hearing Aid RatingHearing Aid RatingHearing Aid Compatibiliy (HAC) offers a rating sytem for how well the microphone works (M1 to M4) and if the device supports T-coil magnetic audio to a heading aid (T1-T4). Higher numbers are better.	M3/T4 Class

	FM RadioFM RadioWhen equiped, the FM radio allows you to listen to FM radio stations. Normally FM radio only works while headphones are attached, as the headphone wires are also used as the FM antenna.	no

	GPSGPSDevices with Global Positioning System support use a satellite-based navigation system to identify your current position and altitude.	yes

	AccelerometerAccelerometerAn accelerometer detects device movement and how fast the movement changes.	yes

	Primary Camera	3.0 MegaPixels

	FlashFlashUnless otherwise stated, devices with flash have a single LED flash, only suitable for close distances.	yes

	Auto-focusAuto-focusThis allows the device to automatically adjust the focus.	yes

	Video	yes

	Video ResolutionVideo ResolutionThis identifies the the highest quality of video that the primary camera can take.	VGA (640x480)
