Pros:

Excellent mobile TV service. Powerful Web browser. Roomy, comfortable QWERTY keyboard.
The LG Vu Plus has a capacitive touch-screen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. Features include a 3.0-megapixel camera, GPS, stereo Bluetooth, and AT&T Mobile TV.

Cons:

Bloatware-infested. Buggy Bluetooth. Non-standard headphone jack. More expensive than a smartphone.
The lack of a 3.5mm headset jack is disappointing, and we wish the keys weren't so close together. The photo quality could be improved as well.
