touchscreen user interface of the eXpo by also providing precise cursor control
for text editing, 4-way menu navigation, and AuthenTec's unique turbo-scroll
feature for rapid browsing of long E-Mails, contact lists or websites.
Beginning December 7, the LG eXpo will be available to enterprise customers and
for purchase online at www.att.com/lgexpo for US$ 199.99 after mail-in

Even if the LG eXpo supports all necessary European GSM and UMTS frequencies,
it's yet unknown if it will be released in Europe as well.
