LG Incite is LG's first U.S. smartphone.
(Credit: AT&T)LG and AT&T just introduced the Incite, the first-ever LG smartphone for the U.S. market.
Equipped with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the Incite comes with a host of high-end features like GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, a 3.0-megapixel camera with built-in camcorder, and access to AT&T 3G services like AT&T Mobile Music and AT&T Video Share. As a Windows Mobile phone, it also comes with Microsoft Office Mobile, Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5, and Windows Media Player 10, a first for LG.
The design is quite attractive, as well. It has a 3-inch touch screen with either a full QWERTY keyboard in landscape or a 20-key keyboard in portrait, plus the keys have haptic feedback. You can either use your finger or the included stylus. The Incite also has a microSD card slot with support for up to 16GB of additional storage.
The Incite is available now online and in stores for $199.99 with a new two-year service agreement and mail-in rebate.

- I've had the phone for two days. Can't find anything disappointing about it yet.

(16 Comments)Touch screen is very responsive and I haven't had to use included the stylus yet.
Everything was easy to setup (WiFi, Email, Personalization)
Only nag is the when using kybd in landscape, there is very little room left on the display for what you are actually typing...not a big deal, but figured I should try and find something "not positive" to say.
Definitely my favorite phone since the Motorola PT550 (early 90's). Hopefully it lasts as long as that one.
