LG P350 Optimus Me Smartphone (7.11 cm (2.8 inch) display, touch screen, Android OS, 3 Megapixel camera) silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Did the P350 Optimus ME now for about a week. Of course, this short period of time not allowed to make statements on error frequency or battery life, but my impressions are still fresh :-)

First: It also looks at quality of natura, is pleasantly heavy in the hand (the Samsung my wife is much lighter), the (optional switchable) audible feedback via keystroke made will I find personally very practical. Bit fiddly at first is the cover of the USB interface, and the opening and closing of the case is more of a show of strength. Unfortunately, the seemingly in the pictures as metal silver back turns out to be plastic, on the other hand you would have it at this price range probably not expect otherwise.

Scrolling through screens or by phone lists works much better than the Samsung my wife, even as I finger-movement dyslexics have no problems. It is somewhat different to the touch small icons or numbers on the screen, is probably a matter of practice, but here I am doing some seriously (eg requires updating the app "AccuWeather" the touch of a 1mm wide strip appreciated ...). Since it is a capacitive sensor, one can not help out with pins also.

Very nice, I think the writing's SMS for optional expandable QWERTY keyboard, the tilt of the screen screen also works well, although for me not understandable reasons not in all applications.

It is comparatively easy to surf on Android 2.2 almost as usual on the Internet, are preinstalled hits on Facebook, Google Maps, Email functions, Twitter, YouTube and many others. I have tried the Internet capability of the mobile phone so far only on the domestic wireless hotspot that works without any problem. The preinstalled applications are meaningful optimized for mobile phones and intuitive to use, very well done, I find Google Maps and Youtube, the image quality of the latter I think is really fantastic. The GPS receiver can be used via a special navigation program or just Google Maps, Google Latitude on leave then also the locations of the co-users also registered Show. How well it works, I could so far only rudimentary testing, as with most GPS receivers is within the 4 walls no reception is possible. Camera, RDS radio and music player function smoothly and as usual from other mobiles, is nice to have "normal" can use headphones with standard jack and not USB ports as the Samsung.
Let's come to one or two downsides: Contrary to Amazon's website is not a 3.2-inch screen, but only a 2.8 inch (about 7.2 cm), the support on the website of LG is very poor (for example, applications for P350 widget), the product does not seem to be fully integrated into the website. My PC USB port does not recognize the phone, so that a data exchange has not funzt with the PC. I have after a long search found a USB driver set that will hopefully solve the problem.
So overall a highly recommended product for this price range, possibly, it is advisable to wait a few more weeks with the acquisition until LG can offer full support via the website.

1. Supplement
Can now confirm that the battery life is pretty neat and with me is 3-4 days even with frequent playing around and surfing. I am currently on the phone, however little, so I do not know if by again breaking the strong battery life.
After installing the USB driver and the recognition was guaranteed by the PC and the loading of the mobile phone with music or images on the LG PC Suite IV contained on the phone no problem. Via the LG-World site you after you have registered a series of more and less meaningful Apps drag, where there are countless sites with free applications for Android available on the Internet (the selection at LG itself is relatively limited). Have heard that it now already is the first Android viruses, so you should when using some trusted vendors but watch out!
About the icon "Market" directly on the phone to download countless apps is possible without having to go through the PC. Have unfortunately discovered quite late. The Distribution of Apps in "Games" and "Applications", "free" and "charge" is useful, general operability is here again very good.

2. Supplement

Maybe it's the speed of the processor, the number of running in the background applications or the level of the internal memory, occasionally leading to important delays in the operation, especially at the beginning so liquid and quick response to each keystroke is then gone. Especially some games provide a warning that there may be problems with the memory overflow and the phone then switches off may. So you should pay attention to which software to install, control how many applications are running in the background and make perhaps generally aware that it is in spite of everything an entry-level model in terms of performance ...
The GPS receiver works perfectly after the first trial runs, recommended in conjunction with Google Maps very.
Dissatisfied I am with the camera, which not even has an autofocus, therefore makes only under optimum conditions and lighting conditions beautiful pictures. But well, for a few snapshots reichts all.
