Functionality
We’ll disclose the details in the full review, as the software still does some strange stuff sometimes and its speed wasn’t perfect either. Still, it’s about the same thing we’ve seen on LG Arena, and although the screen is much smaller, in turn we get an 8 megapixel camera. There is still HSDPA, WLAN and Bluetooth 2.0 support and of course we can enjoy the benefits of multitouch technology as well. Thanks to the gyroscope the menu can automatically rotate in many places and the S-Class system has the same features.
Umm, in fact it’s not exactly the same. GD900 now has two themes, besides the one with a black background there is a white one as well, which improves readability a lot. In terms of applications and features, however, I couldn’t find any differences after the short check, but I didn’t like that we can’t fasten searching in the contact list by pressing a letter key on the glass keypad, only after first tapping the zoom. Of course this could change by the time the final phone is launched.
Another change is that the data- and charger connector – hidden in the top left corner of GD900 – doesn’t use LG’s own standard anymore, but it connects with microUSB accessories and cables. There is no 3.5 mm jack and since the phone came without any kind of accessory, I don’t know whether the headset that will ship with the phone can be taken apart or not. Let’s hope for the better.
Since I had the handset for three days I can already share my experience with the battery. The capacity of the module, placed under the semi-transparent back panel, is unknown, but it didn’t need no charging during these three days (it was full when I inserted my SIM card) and it had some power reserves when I gave it back. And consider that I have been using it continuously.
Of course GD900 won’t be cheap. It has the functionality of LG Arena plus a bonus data entry method, so we will surely have to pay a serious sum. This is an exclusive phone, it’s unique, but it’s also usable at the same time. Sound quality is already flawless, but the case is not made of metal. The glass keypad makes it really special, so we’re waiting for the final version to have a more decent test.
