LG Rumor Touch Review
Aug 24th
The first two LG Rumor messaging phones were both big hits with Sprint customers thanks to the rising texting people that are very usable QWERTY keyboard and compact development, but enjoyable. Now the third generation of the LG Rumor Touch adding to the market comes the inevitable touch-screen and EV-DO 3G. The new touch-screen is beautiful, but LG added that to just go along with the touchscreen craze since the QWERTY is very capable at operating everything on the phone. The EV-DO 3G but adds a whole new world compared to the previous generation rumors that activates not have access to the Sprint Music Store, Sprint TV and other services of 3G. And the performance of the Sprint navigation and messaging has improved thanks to the faster transmission speeds.
While LG was busy adding 3G to the rumor online about the new Touch Rumor, changed the mobile landscape and Sprint lineup a bit. The LG Rumor Touch currently sells for $ 80 with a two-year contract in the introduction, and this is a fair price for a mid-tier feature phone that does a lot. But while Sprint was a big push to win smartphone users, in order to reduce their prices by phone. The Palm Centro Europe, which are HTC Snap and the BlackBerry Curve 8530, all cheaper than the LG Rumor and the HTC Touch and the Samsung Hero Android smartphones are now only $ 10 more. We know that not everyone wants a smartphone, but the prices are tempting, curious shoppers. For those who are at the intersection, remember: Sprint, like all U.S. airlines need to get the data packages that cost more than the basic voice and messaging plans when you buy a smartphone . That is the flexibility of the LG Rumor offers Touch: You can get the basic voice plan and unlimited messages plan for $ 50/month.
Design and Ergonomics
LG and Sprint, the power of 3G and the attractive features and services complemented by 3G enabled, they forgot to update the LG Rumor Touch styling. We want the young LG Rumor LG Rumor and the more recent updated 2 designs, and the popularity of the two phones are somewhat guilty, the playfulness and robustness, said to his young audience. The LG Rumor Touch not stand as his predecessors in a sea of QWERTY sliders. But that’s not to say better not to touch the rumor on the form. It has a large 3″ touch screen, a full 5-line QWERTY keyboard, which in turn makes the device larger and a 2-megapixel camera (an improvement of the LG Rumor 2′s 1.3-megapixel camera). The LG Rumor feels well built. The larger display feels more luxury and websites and videos on the larger screen well in comparison to the last two Rumor phones. The display has both audio and tactile feedback when you touch it, but it washed looks outside. If you have pictures in the outdoors on a sunny day, the display is not very easy to use as the viewfinder to see. The QWERTY keyboard feels very spacious and is very easy to type. It has a good journey and provides audio feedback when pressed. backlight is effective in the dark.

GPS navigation and Sprint
The LG Rumor Touch has a built-in GPS navigation and Sprint has a better performance and speed to touch the rumor as a rumor two by the new EV-DO support. The Rumor Touch quickly acquire a GPS fix and charge cards with good speed. Turn-by-turn directions and maps also load quickly, and above all accurate. The voice is clear and on target. The phone has a speaker for voice directions. Sprint Navigation (powered by TeleNav) offers 2D and 3D maps, POIs (Points of Interest) search, local services and much more. There is a monthly subscription service, although you can pass costs $ 9.99/Month days to try it, or if you only occasionally. Alternatively, if you go with a Sprint everything plan is the navigation at no additional cost included.
Multimedia
If you have a preference for mobile entertainment, such as mobile TV and music, the rumor Touch offers strong performance in both services. Sprint has some improvements to the Sprint TV performance of the LG Rumor and Touch done shows it is beautiful. In strong EV-DO coverage areas Sprint TV plays fine on the rumor Touch Landscape in full screen mode, with occasional out-of-sync audio. In marginal coverage areas, the videos still play mostly smooth with few frame drops that to interrupt the playback. Sprint TV and radio have free channels, with your data plan as the plans it all, come and offer premium channels for additional costs.
The LG Rumor Touch is to find music lovers with access to the Sprint Music Store over the air purchase and download music. The Sprint Music Store still sells songs for $ 0.99/track or less (when you purchase multiple titles) and navigation through the music store is fast and music download is fast. Audio quality through the integrated 3.5 mm jack sounds good and very loud, even though the rumor does not touch come with all headsets. The built-in speaker is very loud back fire, but a little tinny. If you do, the volume of the blown speakers max, if you do not need the volume high enough to switch for most applications such as music playback.
Camera
The LG Rumor Touch has upgraded the camera 2 megapixels from the Rumor 2′s 1.3 megapixel camera. For snapshots and sharing with your friends online, the 2-megapixel camera on the rumor Touch do the trick quite well. The pictures look clear enough good color balance and saturation. But with competing devices like the LG Env 3, the Samsung and the upcoming Rogue Reality Samsung Verizon Wireless are all with 3-megapixel camera or higher, losing the rumor Touch the race. The photos show the typical level of noise you expect from a camera phone bottom. The Rumor Touch also does not like low light conditions for photos and video. Speaking of video, takes the LG smooth video with sound in sync. You can take videos for MMS or storing on the memory card. The maximum resolution for VGA video.

The LG Rumor has a touch beefy 1250 mAh battery (LGIP-401N), which can set the phone for over a week standby. The claimed talk time is 7 hours, and our tests showed that the talk time was closer to just over 6 hours. Playing Sprint TV and Sprint Navigation is drained the battery faster than music playback. The phone can take at least two hours at Sprint TV videos on 3G EV-DO.
Verdict
It is good to see LG and Sprint to add some 3G power to the rumor and the rumor Touch line offers competitive features such as a full QWERTY keyboard, a 3″ touchscreen, Sprint TV, GPS with Sprint Navigation and Sprint Music. The Rumor phone should please fans who are we to upgrade while maintaining their messaging needs, browsing and storage options unchanged.

LG Remarq Review
Aug 17th
A lot of mobile phone manufacturing companies are offering environmentally friendly products these days and attract customers environmentally friendly with their phones, the latest to join this revolution is LG with the LG Remarq. We first came on the slider Messenger handset in the CTIA 2010, and were happy to see that 19 percent of mobile phones is made of recycled plastic. The remaining 87 percent of the phone can also be recycled once you get the listener to get rid of. The phone has in fact very low level of the two brominated flame retardants and polyvinyl chloride. It was impressive to see that LG took his time, to make the ecological packaging and carton. Even the charger from LG is Remarq energy efficient with an Energy Star certification.
Besides being environmentally conscious features of the Remarq is on a whole decent messaging device. Although you are not a high-speed EV-DO in the phone, but yes, it offers a 1.3 megapixel camera, a microSD card slot, a music player, instant access to social networks like Twitter, MySpace and Facebook and has a speakerphone. The square and the QWERTY keyboard of the phone, and decent feel. Priced at $ 50 mail-in rebate and two-year contract with Sprint, the LG is a steal Remarq entirely.
Design
The LG Remarq has a short and thick design most other slider phones, we in the market before it had seen the flash Verizon Wireless and Samsung Reclaim. Some users might not like the style of Remarq, but somehow we liked the cute and chubby form factor of the phone. The phone measures 2.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches long and 0.6 inches thick and has curved sides, rounded corners and is completely compact. The phone comes wrapped in shiny hard plastic and weighs approximately 3.8 ounces. It feels surprisingly sturdy and stable when held in hand, despite the recycled parts of the phone.
Hardware
The LG has a catchy Remarq 2.2-inch display with most of its front real estate. The display here has native resolution of 220 x 176 pixels and offers support for two, 62000 colors, making the images and texts appear rich and crisp. The brightness can be adjusted to the phone, and so is the case with the appearance of the Clock, the backlight time, greeting, calendar, screen saver, and font size. The phone also supports animated wallpapers. Positioned below the display is the navigation array, consisting of two soft keys, a four-way toggle square with a mean OK/Menu button, a Back button, an out-and-out speakerphone button, the Power/End button and a conversation key. The switch also works shortcuts to the browser Inbox My Photos album and My Stuff folder.

Positioned on the left spine of the phone is a 2.5 mm headset jack, a microSD card slot and a volume rocker, while the right spine of the phone is connected to a camera button and the charger. The external speaker of the phone is positioned at the rear end of the phone.
Sliding the display shows the full four-row QWERTY keyboard of the phone, and given the small size of the camera its pretty spacious. The keys are sufficiently far apart, and here are a few rise above the surface, to facilitate easy entry. The keyboard has a normal function, and symbol keys, and we estimate that the space bar and enter keys are relatively larger than the rest of the keyboard.
Software
The LG Remarq’s mobile phone stores up to 600 entries with each entry with space for three e-mail addresses, six numbers, a Web URL, a memo, an address, an instant messaging handle, a professional title, a company name and a birthday .

Performance
The call quality of the LG Remarq in our performance test with Sprint network was pretty decent, but certainly was not the best we had. Our interlocutors were clearly audible to us without any problems. Although there were occasional blip static, but on a whole cast were quite natural.
But unfortunately, facing our callers a little hiccup on their end, and although we had heard, but she complained of a weak but constant background activity. The activity was much clearer when we turned on the speakerphone. But still we were able to take our conversation easily and therefore we do not think it was a deal breaker.

The LG has a battery life rated Remarq of 5.5 hours (talk time).

LG enV Touch Review
Aug 11th
The LG env Touch is the successor to the company’s popular Voyager-model and the new age version of the original ENV that debuted in 2007. And with an updated and sleeker design and interface, 3.2 megapixel camera camcorder with flash and autofocus, full HTML browser and support for a litany of Verizon services, there is much for the Touch’s older siblings jealous. The env Touch offers a supreme media and messaging experience, and while it is missing WiFi and support for VCAST TV, LG env Touch is sure to reach the hearts and minds of Verizon subscribers to gain and longing to touch a new generation of the company folder style line.
At first glance, it’s the Touch’s luxurious 3″ external touch screen, which – with a crisp, vibrant 800 x 400 pixel resolution, it should. Opening the Touch shows a twin 3″ Non-touch screen TFT display. The env Touch is about 4.5 cm long and just over 2″ wide, weighs a hefty, but fit 4.92 oz at almost 7″ deep, the Touch is a bit bulky as their brothers – but hey, it’s a very nice packaging distance QWERTY keyboard with some nice keyboard shortcuts, and four-way navigation button. And it stills slides in a pocket or purse quite beautiful.
The front window is surrounded by a sleek and shiny metallic frame, and only three buttons on the front of the phone, the beautiful dark brushed metal Send, End and Back buttons Voice Command. On the left side of the touch is a camera button, volume button and quick key lock button. On the right is a microSD slot that supports up to 16GB and a standard 3.5mm headset jack for your listening pleasure media. A 3.2-megapixel camera with flash in a pretty elegant pen set in metal backing adorns the back. A micro-USB connector on the base can be found, and also serves as a charging jack.
The internal display is surrounded by a pair of stereo speakers. The keyboard on the other side of the device has shortcut keys for quick access to news, favorite contacts, vibration alert and voice commands (doubling the space bar), with two navigation buttons at the top. Keys are slightly raised and feel good, when pushed, thus entering a message into a delight.

The env Touch hinge allows either a laptop-esque open angle or flat. I went in fully flat in answering a text message on the fly, but tilted like a laptop when I was browsing a web page while sitting at a table or desk. Each to their own.
When closed, a call on the Touch is a good size on the screen, keyboard achieved. You can also easily start voice dial appears in the dial. The phone book supports up to 1500 contacts with multiple phone numbers, two e-mail addresses and a physical address. Visual Voice Mail is on the touch, but requires a monthly subscription $ 2.99. The speakerphone can by opening the Touch, while in-call, or a number from the internal keyboard can be activated. The speakerphone on the Touch is one of the best I have seen come with the calls in Nice and loud with good clarity and callers reported that they hear me well, even when I stood several feet away.
The LG Touch env still built in his family tradition as a phone for the serious writer. And it delivers. SMS messages can be grouped in a folder by contact, or can be ordered in a message sent and received folders through time. T9 text input for fast text can not open the phone, or course, open to the touch, so as to continue hitting you a message from his formidable keyboard can be used. And for those who admit occasionally reading a text message while driving, you can simply something of that debt with the Touch’s Text-to-speech functionality, which will read a received text message aloud while keeping your eyes on the road to . keep
Verizon Mobile Email ($ 4.99) is also supported, what mobile access to the most popular web-based e-mail services as well as IMAP and POP accounts. I set up mobile e-mail to my Gmail account, and the experience was decent. It is not the experience of a real e-mail-equipped smartphone rivals, but who wants to satisfy casual access to en route e-mails. For corporate users with Microsoft Exchange accounts, the phone also supports a service called RomoSync. The Touch also comes with a mobile documents viewer equipped with support for. Pdf,. Doc,. Xls and. Ppt files.

The env Touch comes loaded with a full HTML browser. Ah, the env Touch does not have WiFi, but with a decent connection to Verizon’s EVDO network, page loaded normally quite snappy (10-15 seconds). Most of the pages done quite well on the Touch, although it occasionally cut-off or erroneous table. I was pretty happy with the Touch Zoom function, and liked the ability to search text on a page. Oh, and the touch-browser support Flash.
With its crisp 3 “display, stereo Bluetooth, support for VCAST Music with Rhapsody and VCAST Video and expandable to 16 GB with a microSD card, the rival media experience on the LG env touch any phone on the market. Although I like One watch-touch access to music, browse your music library is very intuitive and reminiscent of the most media setups complete with album covers and the like. It is possible, playlists, from the My Media “of the pop-out menu for faster access can be accessed to create. When a song is playing, a media bar appears on the Home screen, that the name of the song to play and an equalizer displays, and a pause button. Tapping the bar brings the media application on again.
The Touch’s 3.2-megapixel camera camcorder with flash and auto focus does not disappoint, and offers some great features. The camera can be quickly accessed with the dedicated camera button on the left side of the phone. Once the camera application is open (fast two seconds after pressing the camera button), tapping opens the middle of the screen an array of options of flash settings to the white balance, color effects and resolution. The resolution can be changed between a sharp and impressive 2048 1536 to a still decent 640 480 Tapping an on-screen button in the upper right switch to camcorder mode.
The camera also offers a range of innovative camera modes. My personal favorite was the name Card Reader mode. Take a photo of a business card, and the touch-process the image and create a new contact, which automatically imports the map readable information. This may sound like one of those features that sounds great, but not necessarily really work. But with a simple business card with no fancy fonts, I was pleasantly surprised. The camera also offers a mode of Intelligent settings based on the changed environment – and a pretty good job of it. There is also a panorama mode, Facial Makeover Smile mode and mode (automatic, when the image are detected smiles:). The Touch is also armed with a self-timer.

The flash is bright and great for properties that are not too far away. Images were recorded sharp and clear, and video was great quality for a cell phone camera.
The env touch worthy of its name. This elegant and well-equipped mobile phone folder certainly impressed, and will indeed inspire some envy among his peers. It has a responsive and sharp external touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, large internal, impressive camera, and a strong media and Internet experience.
LG Vu Plus Review
Jul 30th
The LG Vu was one of the first devices to AT & T Mobile TV service feature when it was launched two years ago. The Vu comes with an attractive 3-inch display and a further strengthening of the television for the phone, there is also a pull-out antenna. But still the design of the phone was a bit more, and so we wanted it had a successor, and guess what we have. Yes, the AT & T and LG have finally decided to introduce the successor to the LG Vu and call it the LG Vu Plus. The FE Plus offers even AT & T Mobile TV, but everything from the phone away, its antenna.

Performance
The performance report for the LG Sentio in our test with T-Mobile service were overall satisfactory, and we have not faced any kind of major problems. The call quality on our site was pleasing on the whole, without any major distortions. The call volume was nice and we could hear our callers with relatively noisy places as well. Although, sometimes we also have a bit of noise during calls and has been recognized with the handsfree calls, there were a lot of echo and hiss. Likewise, the audio quality for the phone to hear through speakers also not the best. It sounded relatively flat and colorless. As always, it is safer and better to use headset for listening.

LG CG900 Viewty Review
Jun 14th
LG Viewty sold seven million handsets, so they probably have an idea of how many they want to shift Viewty Smarts, as in steps as a direct replacement for the handset. We got our hands on the new camera phone on the market in the UK, a pre-production sample, wait still tweaks to a final software before on the shelves.
The idea, said LG us was to provide a direct replacement without asking customers to get some more money for an expensive contract with the phone. In this way, the Smart Viewty is seen as a compromise could be a phone that does not break hardware limitations, but in these difficult financial times, not the bank does not break.
The result is a device that pulls together some of the recent successes LG’s, as its new S-class port in KM900 Arena and GD900 Crystal seen, and seen together with the type of camera specifications in last year’s KC910 Renoir is an 8-megapixel sensor and a whole collection of digital magic, you like to find a compact camera, and some that you do not.
The unit itself is slim and lightweight, measuring 108.9 x 56.1 x 12.4 mm and weighs 102g. The front is dominated by the 3-inch 480 x 800 pixels (WVGA) widescreen display. Below the display is a single bar, which is your calling keys and the Home button.

Scattered around the body can find a good collection of controls, bottom right, you have a specific triggers and volume controls and a valve for connection to headphones, charging and TV-out. On the right side you have the slot for the microSD card so you can extend the internal memory of 1.5 GB, possibly up to 32GB. It is also an additional shortcut button on the left.
It is a great size and weight of the device is he good in the hand and is easy to operate. The S-class user interface feels as he thought fit in well with the Viewty Smart: The intuitive scroll-down menus make it easy to navigate. The touch screen seemed to respond not just as the arena and not the acceleration sensor. Since those on the last things that are are apparently ironed out in final software updates, we would expect them to be solved if the retail version comes.
LG are adamant that they have between the devices and a clear focus differentiate device. In this case it is imaging, although you annoy pretty much the same entertainment elements to the arena, including the Dolby Mobile and DivX Xvid offers, but the lack of a standard 3.5 mm jack may be those who want to use find their own headphones. LG said that it is probably a dongle in the box, so you could always swap out the supplied headphones with your own, and accept that you yards of spare cable.
But looking the other way is the Viewty Smart offers a series of blistering photo features. That is, to share some of the features are only for your entertainment and are suitable, but not really to transfer into the world of mainstream photography. For example, you can blow into the microphone to cloud the picture, then wipe clean a section of your photo with a finger. Fun, but the novelty will probably wear out pretty fast. It is the usual selection of frames and “Beauty Shot” and so on, so if you then for a little fun at the photo should fit the bill.

In relation to the real world specs are LG With a maximum ISO 1600. This step is part of a compromise was a xenon flash presented, the claim is that the increased ISO range allows you to pictures indoors without the need for a lightning have bulked the phone would be a bit more (and possibly influenced the price). True, to some extent, but we need to look how well it handles the noise under such conditions in a comprehensive review at a later date.
Instead, you need an LED “flash”, which was adequate in our tests, short-illumination. The position of the LED means it is vulnerable to a finger or reflects your hands if you do not stop the phone is so covered, and LEDs tend to blow the color from everything. But again, we must give it a full test at a later date.

Touch focus is a clean one handy feature that we receive, test, and got, so it simply concentrate on what you want, instead of just leaving the phone in order to decide for you. General focus seemed a bit sluggish, touching perhaps inclination, that the more positive and useful to the shot you want. You’ll also find face detection, Smile Shot, as we have seen in previous camera-phones from LG.
On the video before you get the ability to record up to DVD quality with 720 x 480 is the maximum resolution (30fps). Although it provides an average resolution for a camera phone, we start to see the emergence of HD, for example, the Samsung i8910, so why not here? We suspect that to save it, that for the 12-megapixel mobile phone, promising that she has for some time LG.
