Convincing 2

I rarely write reviews, but of this smartphone I am so excited that I now want it out to give my two cents :-)
Previously, I had always were good for old bones as cell phone, for calls only and write SMS. Then at some point I got me into your head NEN Smartphone try and then've decided for the GT540. The decision came to me relatively easy. The GT540 shines with an excellent price / performance ratio, support WiFi and uses Android as OS. However, it comes with Android 1.6. But since I wanted to use like Skype (which is available only from Android 2.1) I immediately updated on the LG updater the newer version 2.1. The update went smoothly and was completed after 15 minutes.
Hint: In order to use all features like camera / video capabilities and music playback, one should separately establish a microSD card.

Now the things which I find particularly positive person:
+ Skype, ICQ etc combined with WLAN = a dream <3
+ Android 2.1 (with options on Terminal apps typical Linux operations to perform)
+ A lot of useful settings to the device ideal adapt
+ Large-sized battery, the daily continuous operation participates 2 (try of functions + apps)
+ Mobile internet via network provider can be switched off completely (use only Wi-Fi)
+ Sharp, high-contrast display with good response times
+ Beautiful design and optimal handle size

Not quite as optimal were the following points:
- After the update many apps were installed, which could be only uninstall with root privileges
- By a 3MP camera, I would expect better pictures. but perfectly adequate for snapshots
- The touch keys (Menu and Back) can be difficult to make with me (good aim and use your fingernail, but works pretty well)

It has often been mentioned here that the processing has failed cheap and rickety. this point I can not confirm. makes me the machine a very solid impression.

My conclusion: you should have long moving mobile with old bones and now wants to immerse themselves for little money in the world of smartphones, the LG GT540 is the best choice. I clearly a buy rating =)
