Apps

Users can access, shop for and download content from AT&T's MEdiaNet site. The selection of Java games and apps currently available for the Xenon doesn't come close to the selection in apps stores from those such as Apple, RIM and Google.

Bluetooth

The Xenon supports mono and stereo Bluetooth, as well as a handful of other profiles. Pairing with either type of headset was a snap. No problems to report. Call quality through both was also very good. There was just a slight bit of extra noise when compared to using only the phone itself. I'd rate the music performance via stereo Bluetooth headphones as 3.5/5 stars. It was solid, but not superb.

Clock

Hit any of the keys when the phone is asleep, and the the time shows up nice and big on the screen. The same as with the Versa, I could not, for the life of me, find any way to change the appearance of the clock. It is a digital read out. It doesn't appear possible to switch it to an analog clock. What LG has against clock customization is beyond me.
