Really interested in this phone. Right now I have the A900 and while I love it as a phone, I have been disappointed with the MP3 functionality. Major gripes: only 55MB dedicated to music (practically about 12 songs) and three hour battery life, which is fine for voice calls but unacceptable as an mp3 player.
The Fusic appears to rectify these problems. A2DP is something I sorely miss with my A900, as well as the microSD expandability. But the real question is, how will the fusic behave as a PHONE? My A900 is all aces in this department: signal strength and voice quality (based on my personal experience in my area) has been among the best I've ever used. Will the LX550 live up to it? Previous LG's on Sprint haven't received the strongest marks in this department.
Also, battery life. A2DP and FM Transmitting seem like they will tax the battery life and three hours is unacceptable when it comes to music playback. For me to buy this phone, I will have to wait and see about both how it performs as a phone (because this is of course a cell phone and I want to use it to make calls first and foremost) and how long the battery lasts.
