subject: The Lg Pop Review: Minimal Touch Screen Phone [print this page] The LG Pop GD510 is not exactly what one could call a very advanced phone. The touch screen mobile provides a pretty basic set of features with some spiced up additions which make it a really affordable phone with very good features. To begin with, the LG GD510 Black has been designed as a very handy touch screen phone with a large, virtually frameless 3.0 inch TFT touch screen with auto-rotate. The screen also has handwriting recognition and the 3-way interface makes it easy for you to access your applications and contacts on your phone.
The LG 510 has a good level of social integration. It provides Facebook, Twitter and MySpace integration which makes it easy for you to connect to these websites and your friends, right from your mobile phone. The touch screen phone also has GPRS and EDGE for internet connectivity. The HTML browser lets you view your favorite websites right from the mobile phone comfortably. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth and USB.
The 3.15 MP camera on the mobile phone is a great advantage. Take high quality images and videos right from your LG GD510 Black and store them on the phone or on microSD cards (up to 8 GB). The picture resolution at 2048x1536 pixel really proves the quality of the images captured on the phone. Besides this, you get entertainment in the form of the powerful media player listen to plenty of songs or watch videos with the auto-rotate enhancing the view. The stereo FM Radio with RDS is also a great add-on.
Other applications on the phone include an Organizer and the Voice Memo. The phones internal memory stores up to 1000 entries with a photocall feature. Detailed call history is available for about 20 dialed, missed and received calls. An optional Solar panel with the phone can charge the phone through solar energy. Having been made of non-hazardous materials (including PVC), the phone has been marketed as a very eco-friendly phone. The LG Pop GD510 is a very inexpensive phone that offers a decent set of features that range from connectivity to media capability.
