I'm going to get LG Optimus 7Q(quantum) but, have few questions!

---

Hi folks!

I'm using iPhone 4 white and Omnia 7 at the moment.
But I'm a lack of money and also after I saw Optimus 7Q, it looks great on me.
So I'm selling those phones, and getting LG optimus 7Q.
I have few questions about this phone before purchase it.

How is battery life compared with Omnia 7 or iPhone 4?
Does it have notification light?
How many often do you use the physical keyboard?
I heard LG is going to release new WP7 device which will be called c700, do you guys think it will have front face camera and better CPU and GPU?

Please answer me as soon as possible,
You don't have to answer all the questions, just answer me what you know of those questions.
Thanks guys.

My girlfriend currently owns it and she hasn't
had any problems with it. But i have the iphone 4
and i definatley would not trade the iphone 4 for
that piece of crap phone it cant really do anything
the iPhone can. As for the battery life it depends on
you use it really. She gets a good day out of it with
normal texting and some gameplay. There is no
notification light. The physical keyboard is kind of
awkward because of the shift key and fn key placement
but it feels good to type on. I dont know about the
new c700 but i definatley would keep the iphone over
the windows 7 phones. Just my opinon =)

Also going to be getting it soon, since this is much different from android (or rather android updates [or is it?]), will every phone get all the foreseeable updates? Will the quantum get 7.1 (or rather mango)?

Everyone craps on about the shift and fn key, but its easy to press and is rarely pressed...

This is the 3rd slide-out-qwerty phone I've owned and there is no perfect solution... If the shift and fn keys were integrated into the keyboard, it would stuff the keyboard...

You only really use the physical keyboard for longer emails and stuff... Quick sms replies I'll do on the touchscreen...

I'm still testing my new optimus 7q so I'll let you know about battery life, but I'm coming off an HD2 with WP7 so I'm used to charging every night...

Very satisfied

I'm loving the Quantum. I use the hardware keyboard quite a lot because I can thumb type fast and accurately without looking at the keys. After the first couple days getting used to the placement, I've had no trouble hitting the shift and fn keys when I need to, and never when I don't want to. The slide unlocking mechanism means it never pocket dials, and the proximity sensor works perfectly to eliminate accidental screen input when you bring it to your ear. Navigation is quick and responsive. I have Exchange OTA sync for my business e-mail, calendar, and >2000 contacts. I love the OTA sync with my free SkyDrive/Hotmail account. The GPS is sensitive and Bing maps accurate, but sadly, no free spoken turn-by-turn directions yet.

It's very easy to use the built in MFG app engineer menu to edit the registry and to set up tethering.

Battery life is better than any Smartphone I've used before. I'm in the habit of charging overnight, where it sits on my nightstand and wakes me up in the morning, and I check the weather on a very nice free app, but at the end of the day, I generally have 80% battery life left.

No lights or LEDs I can see... None for charging or missed calls...

Do you just troll around the non-iphone places rubbishing other handsets?

When demoing my WP7 handset to all my iphone mates they all commented on how fast it was especially the bing search, find a shop, navigate to the shop...

All of my friends with iphones went to ip4 and half are OK with it, the other half regret it... Not sure what it was they did or didn't like...

One friend was iphone mad but got fed up with something and went samsung...

A mate who was staunch android went to ip4 and regrets it...

At the end of the day you get the handset that:

* Does what you need it to do
* Looks and feels good to you
* Performs well
* You can afford
* Is reliable

For me, its a WP7 phone... For others?..

The iPhone 4 has its bonuses and the windows 7 phones have there's. To each his own. But... you cant go from an iPhone to a windows 7 phone and expect anything compared to the iPhone experience. I loved windows mobile but dont really like windows phone 7 very much because of it being very locked down. No custom sms tones. No custom ringtones.

got one for wife and myself. very happy with it. the keyboard was a must for me as I can't type with onscreen keyboard.
Windows Phone 7 OS is great. With upcoming mango update you will be able to do custom ringtones and many more features listed on the XDA forums. At the moment you can unlock the phone and sideload applications for custom ringtones - using this myself. (for LG devices you can do this even after NoDo update because the device comes with its own registry editor).
The phone does not have notification lights anywhere for battery or new messages.
Battery life is OK and similar to other phones I would say. It all depends on how you use it. If everything is ON (3G, wireless, etc.) it will last a good day. If you have any of these functions off it lasts longer (e.g. sometimes I have to only recharge every two days).
