Shopping for a new smart phone as a newbie or switching from one smart phone operating system to another? You've suddenly got some great choices, all 4G LTE, which is becoming the new normal, from every major phone maker (except Apple). And each has at last one special feature to set it apart.
What's The Big Deal: Exclusive ESPN access. Pre-installed into this Android phone is exclusive access to the ESPN ScoreCenter app, which provides exclusive HD video feeds, ScoreCenter stats, images and videos in 720p HD. You can even personalize the app to track your favorite teams and leagues worldwide. Spec-wise, the LG Spectrum runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread but you'll be able to upgrade to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the next few months, has a 4.5-inch display using the same LCD technology found in LG's HDTVs, a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, an 8 MP rear camera with 1080p video capture and a 1.3 MP front camera. You can buy Spectrum now from Verizon for $199.99 with a two-year contract.
