In the price range, there's no better!

Now my son also wanted a real smartphone (he had a Samsung S5230).
After some compare the LG E610 appeared ideal and so I ordered it.

Short and good; the decision was right!

Also, the E610 is a really great smartphone that affords no weaknesses.

Design, manufacture and quality impression are super.

The 4-inch screen is large enough (no comparison to the smaller Samsung variant in this price range).
Picture quality and brightness are impeccable.
The capacitive display also responds very well.

The 800 MHz processor is quite fast, the software runs smoothly.

Other findings:

The reception characteristics are very good.
The integrated GPS receiver is very fast.
The acoustics (speaking and listening) when telephoning is absolutely satisfactory.
The internal speaker has a good sound and sufficient volume.
Listening to music with the supplied ear listening is also possible in good quality.
The camera takes good pictures in sufficient light.
The battery life is significantly higher than my LG P880.

Conclusion:

For me there is no alternative in this price range for the LG E610.
Clear recommendation!
