HTC Jetstream HTC Jetstream Rated 4+out of 5 by Wireless and Mobile News' Review of Reviews

 

The HTC Jetstream went on sale last week and we searched to find the best reviews and first looks to wirte a a Review of Reviews.  AT&T LTE is only available in limited markets which may be the reason why the  HTC Jetstream has not received  many reviews, yet.  AT&T LTE is only available in Chicago, Atlanta, and the Dallas/For Worth metropolitan areas.

Customer reviews on the AT&T website gave it a resounding five-stars for features, display, battery-life and design.  The video playing is called amazing.  An artist loved that the Scribe pen made it perfect for drawing.  The audio with a sub-woofer is amazing which could be why it was originally codenamed Puccini.

The HTC Jetstream was shown to have a downstream in of over 22Mbps and upstream of 6Mbps in a video by BGR.

So far the consensus is that the HTC Jetstream has excellent hardware, superfast data speeds, great video viewing and full sound.  It has been called expensive because it cost $829 without a contract and $699 with an AT&T contract which is not even close to the blow-out $99  deal of the HP Touchpad.

We will add more reviews to review when they come in.

The HTC Jetstream is AT&T's first 4G LTE/HSPA+ tablet and the first tablet with HTC Sense using Honeycomb.  HTC Sense offers HTC Watch, HTC Hub and HTC Friendstream.  Features include a 10.1" touchscreen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 7300mAh battery, microSD, sub-woofer speaker, 8MP camera, front-facing camera, 4G LTE access and Wi-Fi.

LG Thrill 4G AT&TLG Thrill 4G Rated 4 out of 5 by Wireless and Mobile News' Review of Reviews

Reviewers of the LG Thrill 4G were thrilled by a few features of the smartphone.  Reviewers rated the call quality, good to great and liked that you can connect the smartphone to an HDMI TV.  Reviewers also liked the speaker phone quality and good battery life.

 

Although the LG Thrill 4G has better 3D options than the HTC EVO 3D, it comes with a 3D content widgets, takes/shows better 3D videos and comes with preloaded 3D games, the reviewers don't think 3D capability is any thing more than a novelty.

Prescription eyeglass wearers should note that depending on your eye correction, you may not be able to see the 3D effects.  Everyone especially parents should note that watching 3D for prolonged periods of time can cause eye strain.

Features or the LG Thrill 4G include 4.3" glasses-free 3D touchscreen, 1GHz dual-core processor. 4 quad-band world roaming, a speakerphone, conference calling, voice dialing, and text and multimedia messaging. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 8GB onboard memory and preinsalled 8GB microSD card.

So the question arises what you will be thrilled by the LG Thrill 4G?  If you love novelty and like to be the life of the party until a novelty wears off, and if you really like connecting your smart phone to your HD TV the LG Thrill 4G may be your best choice right now.

However, the fall dual-core smartphone season is full bloom and AT&T will be releasing the 1.2GHz dual-core, Super AMOLED Samsung Galaxy S II this month.  If you have eyestrain, many people have said that the super AMOLED screen is much easier to read.

Reviewers all thought that the price of the LG Thrill 4Gto be a bargain at $99 with a two-year contract from from AT&T.
