Hands on with the Exclaim and LX370

Not ones to rest on their laurels, Sprint is launching more handsets this weekend, including the LG LX370 and the Samsung Exclaim.  The former is a slider featuring a 2 megapixel camera, QVGA display, EVDO and ships with a 1GB microSD expandable up to 16.  The 2" display is a bit small, but looks fantastic.  The build quality is fantastic, and we particularly like the keypad, a rarity for a small slider.  As an EVDO device it supports all of Sprint's multimedia services and their One Click interface.

The Exclaim is a funky dual slide from Samsung, ultimately replacing the Rant.  With the phone keypad moved internal the 2.6" display is a half inch larger, and looks noticeably better.  Slide it to the side for a full QWERTY keyboard.  The keys are easier to type on then they look; we found ourselves tapping out texts quickly with no problem.  Technically it's slightly smaller than the Rant, though in-hand they both feel the same.  Specs remain similar, with a 2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion (512MB card included) and, like the LX370, EVDO, One Click and Sprint's multimedia services.  Though you may be able to find the Exclaim now, officially the two devices launch this Sunday.  Stay tuned for our reviews on the LX370 and Exclaim soon!
