Kudos to LG for a really seamless effort. Video capture and playback were also good with both front- and rear-facing cameras. Volume was loud, though quieter when we turned the camera on a subject.

The image jerked when we did; some image stabilizing software wouldn't be a bad idea. Overall, playback was pretty smooth from the p HD-capable 5-megapixel lens.

Call quality was totally OK, though not as crystal clear as we've heard elsewhere. Volume could have been higher; set to the maximum volume our friends sounded fine, but we would have liked that level at medium volume. Voices sounded a bit unnatural, digitized, and wavery, but there was absolutely no background noise. On their end, our friends said we sounded clear, loud, and good. Their only complaint was that our voice tended to distort a bit at the highest frequencies.

Speakerphone sounded great to our ears, without any background crackling or hiss, and with louder volumes than when we held it up to our ear. Not so for our callers; they noted that we sounded distant when we held the phone at waist-level. While our voice quality remained high, they said we sounded a little muffled, and that the high-frequency clipping was also more pronounced--they had to listen intently to carry on a conversation.

While it's no dual-core processor, it's still plenty fast and we were able to navigate the phone and complete all our tasks without noticing any problems. When it comes to data speeds, the Esteem is in rockier territory. However, the 4G data speeds are much faster than the 2. While in San Diego, Web sites loaded much slower, and downloads were positively pokey.

Battery life was the phone's most disappointing feature. The Esteem has a rated battery life of 3. In real-time, the battery drained quickly and we often found the phone turned off when we fished it out from our bag. You'll find yourself charging at least once, probably twice a day. It's the Esteem's single most concerning feature, especially for active data users, and the one thing that gives us pause in recommending the phone.

Sure, it's a single-core Android device, it's bulky, and there's no HD video capture, but it does have Android 2. In short, the Esteem is a great example of a higher-end phone for a modest, contract-free carrier. The pricing is right too, for a prepaid phone.
