The packaging of the phone itself is strikingly small. Included is the battery, charger, data cable, the user, a headset and of course the mobile phone itself.
The data cable is also the connection between the charger and cell phone. Excluding the data cable to the USB port of a computer to appear two new drives in Windows Explorer. - Once for the phone memory (40 MB) and one for the memory card (if you have one inserted, is not included, up to 8GB Micro SD possible). This works even without the one the LG software (LG PC Suite from the LG website) has installed - at least for Windows 7. So you can mp3s, photos, etc. as normal copy using Windows Explorer on your mobile phone and sort files on your phone, etc.
With the touchscreen and the operation in general, I get along very well clear. I could never write as fast as SMS with this mobile phone. In my vorigem Sony Ericson z. B. the keys are very small, since it is better here. To use a pen to the screen I do not need, it works with your fingers very well. One drawback, however, is when the sun is shining very strongly it is what schwirig visible on the display, you have to be very focused and looking your best shade. Generally speaking, the operation is very clear and intuitive.
The phone has a 3 megapixel camera that makes as I find amazingly good images even when viewed on a PC. Only when the light conditions are not optimal can be the image quality somewhat. The video camera also works well. Hardly the Vidos on the PC to look at is worth it since but the quality is not enough in my opinion. If you record videos of fast-moving subjects affects the video always something choppy, so the movements are not really liquid. To capture beautiful moments and to see them on the phone but it works. The mobile phone can play the Viedoformate 3gp and mp4. Have some YouTube videos in MP4 format on the phone, that's a very good Qualiät and since then are no jerky movements.
Sometimes in the phone Poor sound quality is criticism - I was surprised but angenhem that matter. The sound quality during phone calls I find great because I have already had far poorer phones. The quality when listening to music by headphones I find also good. Of course, one must not expect quality as with a headphone of 40 - 50 Euro cost. But like a 08/15 headphones from Grabbeltisch he really does not sound now. Man can adapt with the built eqalizer the sound also to his needs.
With regard to the reception from the telephone, I am also very pleased. I had something in mind, as I had ordered a SIM card of E-Plus (BASE) with the mobile phone and you do not like this provider yes the best coverage. But everything is ok. Even in a place where in the D1 network I barely had received previously, it is now better.
Here again some pros and cons at a glance:
+ Operation (touchscreen & menu, etc.)
+ Photo camera
+ Phone reception
+ Display (nice size and good color and Darstellng - only under strong sunlight problematic).
+ Image quality of non-self-recorded videos.
+ Good easy file management via data cable to the PC.
+ Nine speed dials which images can be assigned to the "home" of mobile phones.
+ Sound quality, not outstanding but good.
- Battery life. If you use the phone frequently does the battery last about 3 days. If you look much video or games then splielt about 2 days. In any recession here one writes he bought a 1200 mAh battery and would hold correspondingly longer, I would be interested where there is, I have not found anything yet.
- Display in bright sunlight difficult to detect.
In summary, I am very satisfied with the phone and would recommend it to anyone who seeks a favorable (touch) mobile phone.
+++ Update August 16, 2010 +++
Phone my girlfriend had the fault that the touchscreen did not work properly recently. The mobile phone was practically no longer operable. As still under warranty, we sent it to the repair shop from Amazon and after less than a week we had the repaired phone back. Very big compliment to Amazon and w-support for fast and easy processing. Shipping and handling are of course reimbursed. Despite this error, I would buy the phone again.
