The Motorola EX124g is another of the new Net10/Tracfone "2.0" phones. That is phones that don't totally suck! The Motorola EX124g is a very handsome touchscreen model replacing the short lived LG800g. So it seems that the Tracfone/Net10 LG800g just had too many problems with it. Receiving picture texts being the main issue it seems. So out with the LG800g which may or may not return and in with the Motorola EX124g.
The look of the EX124g is far superior, in my humble opinion, to the LG800g. this one's got that modern sleek look to it while the LG800g was a bit dated. Another thing that I didn't care for the LG800g was it's odd size. Sure it was small which is nice in this day and age where phone sizes seem to be regressing back to the old brick, but the LG800g was just a tad too small. This one is slightly larger with a bit bulkier feel to it so it fits nicely in the hand.

While both phones are resistive touchscreen models, the EX124g is far more responsive to the touch. While on the LG800 you sometimes had to press real firm to get anywhere, the EX124g responds to light presses so no need to mash the screen with all your might on this one. The user interface on this phone is yet another feature to like over the LG800g. This phone comes with a more modern interface which is superior to the LG800g which had a bit of a dated feel to the user interface and it's weird looking icons. Don't get me wrong, the LG800g is a nice enough phone, it's just that this one is much better.
The EX124g has the same basic features, though we must say is much more handsome device. Of course we all love touchscreen devices and the EX124g is no exception. As with all new Tracfone/Net10 offerings, this one is Java app ready. So it's just a matter of firing up getjar, downloading your apps and moving them to the phone. Very easy! MP3 player, full HTML browser, expandable SD card slot round out the feature set. So a well equipped Net10/Tracfone indeed.
So as it stands, the Motorola EX124g is a nice upgrade to the LG800g. I wouldn't chuck the LG800g out the window for the Motorola EX124g just yet, after all the LG800g is relatively new, but if you you are still thinking about upgrading your old school Net10/Tracfone this model is well worth it. Only downside is the higher price. Though you can save $5 with coupon GI2011 if nothing else.
