In this case, this windows mobile phone has the GSM/CDMA chipsets that are not available with other Verizon wireless mobile phones. This is very convenient for the frequent traveler. So, now every time you go to a foreign country, you can still use your windows mobile phone with the latest GSM/CDMA technology.

Although the touch screen functionality may not be very impressive for the tech savvy user, it is still a good buy as texting is very convenient and one can also type at a fast speed by using the LG Fathom.

It has a plethora of other important features that are very practical until you can upgrade to Windows 7 technology. If you are planning to buy the LG Fathom, you can easily get it for $149.99 with a 2 year contract after a $100 mail in rebate offer.

The display is amazing with full touch screen functionality and it is flanked by a smart QWERTY keyboard. The windows mobile phone may also give you a feeling of de ja vu as beholding the LG Ally which is an Android technology based Smartphone. It measures 4.5 inches in length and 2.2 inches wide and is only 0.7 inches thick.

The LG Fathom is a bit handier as compared to its android relative LG Ally. It weighs at 5.4 ounces and feels like you are holding a block in your hand and the effect is further enhanced with the front bezel. The front part has a 3.2 inch touch screen with a very high resolution.

This is one feature that needs to be upgraded as the resistive screen isn’t smooth enough and the response is also not satisfactory. The windows mobile phone comes with an alignment wizard which can be used in order to fine tune the touch screen functionality but it leaves much to be desired.

The display is very good with many vibrant and colorful graphics. The back light can be adjusted according to the needs and requirements of the user. Although the LG Fathom looks good, it may have many performance issues.
