The Sentio the rounded corners, plastic feel, but the phone still stable. The “pretty” phone was extremely thin, measuring in at just 0.5 inches in width. The slimness comes out from the absence of a full QWERTY keyboard. The display can be easily adapted with defined color palettes with the title Mobile Themes. Although the phone has only one main screen, you are still able to create drag and drop a favorite widgets scrolling home screen. The setup interface is slightly different from the traditional setup, but yet easy to use.

LG Sentio’s 3-megapixel camera is a major upgrade with digital zoom, fixed focus and video capabilities. You can take pictures and instantly send an email to friends and family. The 900 mAh battery is also a great bonus with six hours of talk time and 16 days of life on standby. The Sentio holds 1,000 contacts, which are prone to group or speed dial settings can be arranged. A feature I enjoy is, T-Mobile the ability to automatically back up contacts, so again simply contacts when the phone is misplaced. The phone weighs in at a mere 3.26 ounces 4.2 x 2.1 x 0.5 weight so that the phone is an extremely light, thin option for touch screen, multimedia mobile phones.
LG T-Mobile Sentio interface definitely took some getting used to. LG’s interface is an acquired taste, some love it, others could not be employed. Once I was probably using the phone, I have really enjoyed the set, especially the scrolling in the main menu. The phone was fun to use, but Web browsing junkies can occur many problems. I often had trouble loading pages, and was thwarted if the browser is not. I had hoped it was only in my current position, but my problems continued when, after venturing to places of interest. On the positive side, makes Sentio have a 3G connection, which works worldwide.
When you turn the LG Sentio for the first time, the phone is calibrated to your touch. The phone can be calibrated again and again in the future if problems occur. The Sentio has an integrated acceleration sensor that activates the keyboard while turning the phone into the horizontal position. The virtual keyboard to allow both the phone to be thinner than comparable multimedia mobile phones. Because all the input is accomplished via touch I was disappointed to see a resistive touch screen, instead of the more sensitive capacitive touch-screen version. The Sentio was not a good choice for consumers who enjoy the feeling of real keys shown in full slide out QWERTY keyboard. A great feature was found on the Sentio treaded text messages! However, if SMS, the entrance was small with tiny text.
I enjoyed with the LG because it is a great smartphone Sentio appeal was planned without the required Internet. The phone had a handy 2 Go Web portal with the weather, Facebook, CNN, ESPN, along with the ability to add their own links. The Sentio had music player that supports MP3, VMA, AAC, AAC +, MPEG4 and. In addition, the Sentio HTML Web browser, GPS functions and Visual Voice Mail.

The quality of the connection over the Sentio was great regardless of location. Despite the good reception, I was disappointed to see, the phone had no multi-tasking capabilities while appointment. The speaker was effective, without complaints about volume.
This small and powerful phone has a lot to offer to offer a mobile phone. Social Buzz application you are connected, and the Web-portal 2 Go is a convient way to organize your favorite sites. Despite the 3G connection, the Web browser, not the best. However, the 3-megapixel camera and threaded SMS messages make for Internet problems. The Sentio can easily be personalized to your own color schemes, scroll along with the addition of favorite widgets on the home screen. The price of this phone is a great buy for T-Mobile customers looking for a small phone with a smartphone feel. The battery life is excellent and the touch screen makes this phone with a cool interface makes it fun to use.
