CNET Asia Review

Good

6.7

out of 10

The good: Wide range of connectivity features; good Web browser; Dolby Mobile for music playback; bevy of imaging settings.

The bad: Scrolling on the touchscreen not as smooth as we would like; soft onboard speakers; lacks 3.5mm audio jack.

The bottom line: The Renoir has a number of things going for, but it doesn't stand out from the competition. If you are in the market for a high-res camera-phone with a touchscreen LCD, you could consider this LG, but don't forget to check out the Samsung Pixon, too.

The 'e' must stand for economy, as it has neither wi-fi nor 3G :-(

Based on what I have learned about the issue, China mobile service providers demand that wi-fi be removed from all mobile phones sold in mainland China - in order to make more money on their mobile service contracts I guess - i.e., they don't want people using free wi-fi hotspots - How GREEDY is that for a business model? Imho, it will backfire, as I will NEVER upgrade ... Read more
