Basics
The little LG plays a rather long startup sound, and although it supports polyphonic ringtones (like Samsung SGH-T100 from 2002), this cannot be “felt” on the tones. We can hear a tone when turning the phone off too, so our first task will probably be to turn these and the terrible keypad tone off. The menu has 6 icons, while the submenus have a list view. Handling is logical, no one will get lost in the wilderness of features.
The phonebook is no hot-shot, it can store only 300 contacts. This is not too much, although it will be probably enough for the target users. On the other hand I didn’t like the keypad unlocking method: first we have to bring the display to life by pressing any key, and then after pressing the left hotkey we have to hit the one on the right, but we won’t have much time. It makes things even harder that the display and the buttons light up only if we succeeded in this process, so when in a darker place we have to remember the method.
Sound quality during calls is okay, and there are no problems through the handsfree either. The ringtones have quite a lot of boominess, they are very hollow. We have to choose one from the ones already on the phone, as there is no way we can copy new ones on it. The same thing is true for the 4 wallpapers, that’s all we have. The handset practically has no internal memory for such things, but we won’t be bothered too much by that, as we wouldn’t be using it either.
The extras include a calendar with month view, a graphical world clock, a calculator, a stopwatch and a converter, these would be fine even in a higher category. There is an alarm clock as well, and it works even when the phone is turned on, which is a nice thing to see on such a phone.
