Techy Gift for Dad – Verizon Wireless LG Spectrum Android Phone

As you have noticed, I have been trying many of the new phones by Verizon Wireless.  I love the opportunity I get to work with them.  This time I was able to try out the LG Spectrum.

I have yet to come across a Cell phone that I didn’t like.  Well, take that back, I wasn’t fond of the iPhone (But that’s because I am NOT APPLE Savvy.)  I currently have a 3G phone – and even though I have tried 4G Phones before, I am always amazed by how quickly it loads and just all the features.    I will have to tell you… The names of these Android Phone Operating Systems Sure make me Hungry.  Android 2.3 Gingerbread (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade available the first half of 2012.  Seriously?  How could you go wrong with an Operating system called Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich? Call clarity wise – I never once was without service in ANY are that I traveled.  (I love Verizon for that!) It does feature a 8mp rear facing camera and also a 1.3 Front facing camera for Video Chat (Which Is one feature that I didn’t try out.  I am so crazy shy when it comes to being on camera)
