LG Expo/iQ with 480p Video support?

 The Snapdragon chipset (QSD8650) has support for up to 720p (1280x720) HD video!

 Now the Expo/iQ only has 640x480 video support why? it can't even do 480p (720x480) DvD Quality.

 Is there a software update to fix this soon?

You could bring it to their attention, but it would probably be a waste of time and energy. It looks like LG (and AT&T) has all but completely forgotten about this phone.

This is what pisses me off with LG. Their ONE PROBLEM is once the phone is out they almost NEVER update it, and if they do it doesnt seem to do much at all. I know for a fact our phones can probably record 720p, and hell they coyuld easily run Android or a load of other apps, but sadly nobody is supporting it cept for the number one contributer, dark

    * High-resolution up to WXGA (1280x720) display support

    * Support for mobile broadcast TV (MediaFLO™, DVB-H and ISDB-T)

Maybe if can't make drivers for MW then can port Android (are similar devices with this chip) and then use 720p recording.

I doubt i will ever buy a LG product again.

This phone was dropped by my carrier a few months ago an seems LG has completely ignored the issues with the stock rom as it was the end users fault.(Less then nine months old and dropped)

I am not happy with them right now at all.

If it wasn't for Dark, and others, it would have been thrown under a bus long ago.

I may have been a little too harsh on them, though they left us in the dark so to speak about rom upgrades an have dropped hardware support and it strikes me badly as a consumer.

I am hoping they learned a deep lesson from this even though there is no indication that they have.

They make nice looking phones, true enough, just pulling these stunts, hurts not only us, but them for repeat sales.

This is taken from their support pages,
Are they using Google to translate into English? It's these little things that show no motivation to help the end consumer in the markets where they are sold imo.

My friends love for phones like the Chocolate is what sold me on trying them out myself, so a lemon or two is not out of the norm.
