Hardware
The exterior of the phone is really insightful—sometimes to the point of frustration. However, it can become quite a highlight in a nightclub with good lighting. The screen is also shiny making it subject to fingerprints. Its shine also becomes a problem outdoors in daylight as the display is not bright enough to counter sunlight. The phone has an 800 mAh, 3.7 volt battery that has a life of approximately one and a half days with selective use of GPRS and Bluetooth.
The scroll roller is a really good idea and looks quite cool. However, its implementation is not that user-friendly. The interface doesn’t respond to quick rotations, so you can scroll only one line at a time. Going through menus is a headache. You will find the scroll roller to be very unintuitive while viewing websites.
Software
The phone can receive e-mail through the GPRS connection and there is a special e-mail box that stores these mails. Up to 40 mail messages can be saved in each account, and up to four scenarios can be defined with 200 mails in total. One really cool feature is the Scheduled SMSes that can be pretty useful for scheduling birthday greetings or even for setting up SMS reminders for other people.
The menu structure has the standard LG interface, and can be shuffled between list or grid mode. Shortcuts come in the form of straight access to menu options by keying in number sequences. The menu automatically selects ‘Messaging’ as the default option for quick access to the messaging features. When writing messages, the number input mode can be selected by holding down the ‘*’ button. One complaint is that there is no option to add words to the T9 dictionary.
The phone can store up to 1000 contacts with multiple particulars. While saving contacts, you have the option of selecting SIM or phone memory for storage. Contacts can be assigned to groups that have precise ringtones and defined icons. The phone supports Bluetooth A2DP, so stereo headsets can also be used, plus there is the standard file transfer support. There is no alternative to transfer files from and to the memory card through Bluetooth, which is a glaring oversight for a multimedia cable phone. Among the multimedia features is an MP3 player with support for bitrates up to 320 kbps, but there’s no support for variable bitrates. Also, you can set AAC and AAC+ files as ring tones.
