A successor to the popular Fusic, the LG LX-570 Muziq seamlessly combines all your mobile communication needs with an easily pocketable multimedia powerhouse. It offers a wide assortment of format compatibility for both audio and video, an FM transmitter for playing audio over an FM radio, and personalized streaming radio from Pandora Mobile. And with a dedicated music key and multitasking capability, you can run another application while you listen to music. It operates on Sprint's North American CDMA voice network, as well as on Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network (EV-DO), which enables you to quickly access audio, video and data applications. Other features include a MicroSD memory card slot, 1.3-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth stereo streaming, POP3 email support, and full duplex speakerphone.

Dedicated music keys allow easy access to your tunes, as well as enable use of the phones multitasking feature.

Supporting the EV-DO high-speed data standard, the Muziq is fully compatible with Sprint's Power Vision service. With Power Vision, you can download and stream high-quality video, straight onto your phone. Enjoy full-color video clips or live TV of the latest news, sports, and entertainment from brands you know, like CNN, Fox, The Weather Channel, NFL Mobile, and more. Power Vision also serves as a portal for enhanced games. Where coverage is available, EV-DO connectivity provides average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps, with peak rates up to 2 Mbps.

Sprint's music service is another EV-DO-powered service that makes the Muziq all the more desirable. With the Sprint Music Store, your phone is a music player, letting you buy, download, and then jam out wherever you are with new songs or old favorites. Offering a growing selection of more than 1.6 million songs, the store provides you two copies of each song--one for the phone and another for the PC, as well as the ability to burn songs to a CD using Windows Media Player. Save your songs to a MicroSD memory card with a capacity that's right for you (it supports capacity up to 4 GB).

Focused on music playback, the LG LX-570 Muziq has a dedicated music controller on the front of the phone that's designed to allow easy access to your music, as well as an easy way to use your multitasking feature to put your music in the background or bring it to the foreground. It supports a wide variety of audio and video formats (MP3, MP4, 3G2, 3GP, AAC, AMR, MID, QCP, 3GPP, PMD, M4V, M4A, KOZ). In addition to personal listening through wired (3.5mm jacks) or wireless (Bluetooth) headphones, the phone also includes a built-in FM transmitter that enables you to transmit tunes wirelessly through any FM radio within 10 feet (with your choice of an open frequency, from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz).

Easily pocketable, the Muziq measures just 0.61 inches thin and weighs 3.14 ounces.

Stream music to your phone with Sprint Radio, offering over 30 channels of both music and talk radio--from Hip Hop and Latin Pop to NPR. And with Pandora Mobile, a downloadable application, you can get personalized streaming radio by entering a favorite artist or song and automatically receive a radio station with songs that have similar qualities.

With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone, August 19, 2009

By	Kathy Lynne Cook - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had no problems with my LG Muziq phone and has been great. I have had it almost 2 yrs now and I can up grade if I want. But it has been such a great phone I am not sure I want an upgrade on my phone at this point. They are always coming out with something new anyways. I like the simplicity of the phone. There are plenty of great features on it. Hard to pass it up. I would recommend it to my friends. Great pictures, sound, etc.....

2.0 out of 5 stars Nifty, but cheaply made., June 15, 2009

By	Bailey Z. Rose (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this in Fall 2008, really cheap, as part of our phone refresh plan and the people at Sprint talked it up as the hot new phone...

When it arrived, I did have to admit that it looked / felt cool (shiny black)... had a nice slick exterior with a handy outer screen, slim profile that fit easily into a shirt pocket. Buttons were nice and made texting easy, camera worked reasonably well.

I never actually got around to using the music-player feature of this phone, as it just didn't offer anything my iPod couldn't do.

My phone died after something like six to nine months; first the outer screen died, then the inner screen... then all the buttons stopped working. I switched to my sister's identical phone (she got a Muziq too but replaced it with a Palm Centro), and hers is dying now, too... maybe six months later, same problem with the screens.

The phone might have more features than a Razr, but is built less solidly; flimsy plastic vs. Razr's metal. The frame itself begins to come loose, which invites detached connections, etc. which may be to blame for the phone's short lifecycle.

At any rate, while this phone seemed pretty nifty, I've gotta say that its poor construction and the overall lack of added value in an MP3 phone that isn't a Blackberry/iPhone style make this a pretty mediocre phone, overall. For actual phone calls (yep, phones are still for phone calls), the earpiece and speakerphone are both tinny and weak.

You're better off getting either a) a simpler and more durable phone for basic uses, or b) a REALLY nice phone like the iPhone or a Blackberry / Palm. The Muziq is sorta neat, but really crappy compared to other alternatives.

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE>> A TRUE NIGHTMARE, April 20, 2009

By	J. Ma "RomanceReader" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

THis cell phone sooo horrible. I have to charge it constantly because the battery runs out like a bucket full of water filled with holes..Seriously i could have it charging for the whole night and day and when i go to use it i am out for a couple of hours and come back and the phone will have only ONE bar left of battery...At first i thought it was just me and that i did something to my phone but than my mom wanted to update her phone and so she got the same one as mine (i didn't tell her about the problem i was having with it because i dropped my last phone in some water and still worked so...) Yea so mom got the same one and it did the exact same thing to her so i came to the conclusion it was some faulty phone. Seriously DO NOT GET this phone, it runs out of battery so fast, sometimes the signal isn't very good and u could be standing right next to a cellphone tower!! BAD PHONE ALERT!! DO NOT GET! Save yourself the trouble~
