			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>It’s been in the works and in the blogs a lot recently about the next step in mobile phone processors being that the CPUs within will soon like computers have, gone multi-core. Nvidia being the most prominent with its Tegra 2 processor. Well <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lg/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LG">LG</a> had already been rumoured to be doing one with what was called the <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lg/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LG">LG</a> Star well now it’s got an official name and some speccage to boot. Welcome to the Optimus 2X.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So what’s it got to offer</p>
<ul>
<li>Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual-Core Processor</li>
<li>8MP Camera</li>
<li>1.3MP Front Facing Camera</li>
<li>1080p Full HD Video capture</li>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>After appearing in a recent FCC database the news came out on the not too catchy named as yet LG <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/e-note/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with E-Note">E-Note</a> H10008. With a choice of 1.1GHz Atom Z510 or the more powerful 1.6GHz Atom Z530 there will be plenty of speed under the 10.1” 1366&#215;768 capacitive touchscreen hood. Enough to power Windows 7 Starter Edition anyway. Portability is great too with a weight of 850g and it’s only 14.5mm thick too. Also the <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/e-note/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with E-Note">E-Note</a> will back connectivity to the max with USB 2.0 WiFi b/g and Bluetooth 3.0. Memory Wise a 16GB SSD will be present but also can be expanded via an SD card reader.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>At the moment it’s only available in LG’s native Korea and is retailing around the £530 mark.</p>

Both have been knocking about the rumour threads for a while but now they’ve got there official status from LG and despite the addition of <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/android/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Android">Android</a> 2.2 “Froyo” OS to the phones the specs aren’t as great as the rest of the modern smartphones being released at them moment. However LG is pushing these as a cheaper smartphone for the masses rather than a super smartphone for the elite.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Optimus One is a 3.2” HVGA(320 x 480), <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/android-2-2/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Android 2.2">Android 2.2</a> Froyo(with LG Skin) sporting affair that comes with a 3MP camera, WiFi and a 1500mAh battery for extended life on the go. The downer is that it’s only got a 600MHz processor.One interesting feature was the App Advisor. An app which tells you which apps are worth downloading from the Android Market.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Chic is slightly better than the One, same processor speed same screenage. However the Chic looks more “Chic”. Also it ups the camera to 5MP and has DLNA network streaming, just like the Samsung Galaxy S, allowing you to stream media from your PC.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Optimus One is due in October and the Chic will be available a month later in November. Unfortunately we don’t have a price to put with them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/LGGS290.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="LGGS290 thumb LG Cookie Fresh GS290 Review" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/LGGS290_thumb.jpg" width="324" height="248" title="LGGS290 thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p>In the old days pay as you go phones were cheap, cheerful and do everything required out of a phone one would need. They text, they ring. Nowadays, although not packing the super technological goods of an iPhone, HTC Desire or Galaxy S they still do their job and have basic extras. The LG “Cookie Fresh” <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/gs290/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with GS290">GS290</a> is just that. As one of the cheapest touchscreen PAYG phones on the market (from £40ish) you wouldn’t expect too much, but if you want to know more on what we thought of it, then please click on and read our review.</p>
<p> <span id="more-2546"></span>
<p>Small, light and reasonably thin is the Cookie. Sporting a matte black finish, the one we’re reviewing is the standard all black affair but (as the picture shows) you can get the GS290 with coloured sides if you so desire. Despite it’s small appearance, the phone features a 3” WQVGA or 240&#215;400 pixel display which takes up the majority of the phone, which is great, more screen is better. Below the screen you have the usual concoction of the phone button to pick up/make calls and the call end/power button with a little Home/Menu button sandwiched inbetween. On the sides of the phone you get the volume controls, a camera ready button and a button/screen lock button. There’s also two gated slots, one for your USB charger and the second hides your microSD slot. All in all everything you’d expect so far. On the reverse of the phone is a 2.0MP camera and some script telling you that it’s a 2.0 Mega Pixel camera. Besides that the reverse is pretty boring, not that that is a fault or anything, it’s pretty normal for a phone, anyway enough said about that.</p>
<p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/cookiefreshhand.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="cookiefreshhand thumb LG Cookie Fresh GS290 Review" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/cookiefreshhand_thumb.jpg" width="331" height="248" title="cookiefreshhand thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p>Let’s switch on and go. First noticeable thing that you’ll come across is the screen. Now as it’s a cheap phone the resistive touchscreen is in full effect here rather than the smarter capacitive screen, but when you’re looking at the price range of this phone it should be expensive. As with the majority of resistive touchscreens I’ve come across this is no different. They’re not the most responsive and if you’re used to using an iPhone or other smartphones you may find that trying pinching and multi-touch gestures don’t work. Also a problem I can see arising here is the size of the on-screen icons and the accuracy of the touchscreen. I kept finding myself pressing the wrong button, usually through a little frustration but mostly just because things were a little close together on the small screen. One thing we can say that’s great about it though is that for it’s size and the general price of the phone, it’s sharper than any entry level phone I’ve come across before with very bright colours and very clear, easy to read text.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The interface itself is alright. If you’re used to LG phones you’ll probably know what i mean by it’s homescreens. Much like the iPhone you have screens that can be flicked between each other with a gesture. The first screen is for your apps/widgets. These can be customised and moved to whatever you desire. There are some pre-loaded apps/widgets for you to use but you can also download more if you so wish but remember this isn’t <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/android/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Android">Android</a> or AppStore standard apps but their is a Facebook one which I’m sure the majority of people including myself was happy to see. The second screen is what LG are calling the “livesquare” This is your social networking screen. You can place avatars of your favourite contacts on here and from this it can quicklink to calls, emails or texts to said friends. The third screen is essentially a variation on the livesquare but is solely a speed-dial screen, only a couple of clicks quicker than than the livesquare, so really a bit pointless.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So what’s next, let’s press the menu button. Again if you’ve used LG phones before particularly the S-Class one’s you’ll know the layout and icons. Basically the screen fills with 16 icons broke down into 4 different lines. Each line represents what type of shortcut is represented within it such as communication, entertainment, utilities and settings. If you scroll over to the right with your finger, you’ll notice there’s another screen with another 16 icons for you to pick from. However this is a strong point for the touchscreen to let you down. Scrolling the screens from left to right could sometimes prove difficult and more often than not you’ll be opening programs you don’t want to open etc. Maybe when you get fully used to the response of the screen you might become a master but in reality patience could be lost quite quickly. One good thing about the Cookie Fresh though is it has a multitasking cool which proves to be easier to get the programs you want running. Another press of the Menu button brings up a shortcut screen which lists what’s currently being run at the time. If you keep programs open all you’ll need to do is click on whatever you want to go to on the list and you’ll be transported there quick as a flash, i liked this.</p>
<p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Cookiefreshcam.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Cookiefreshcam thumb LG Cookie Fresh GS290 Review" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Cookiefreshcam_thumb.jpg" width="372" height="248" title="Cookiefreshcam thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p>Making a call is pretty much the same with all phones so we can’t really discuss much other than the fact the sound quality was pretty good. The volume controls on the side are easy to use when you’re on the phone and the volume levels are great at no point did i struggle to hear the caller on the other end. Texting was quite basic but very easy to use. The Cookie Fresh has opted for a software alpha-numeric input. This makes sense really. An on-screen QWERTY would be very difficult to use so going back to alpha numeric meant I had to polish off the old-skool texting skills. It worked reasonably well although again you might often find you mis-typing things due to the resistive screen.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Now I didn’t spend lots of time trying all the programs/widgets on the phone as most were rather basic and uninteresting. I’m not completely writing them off, it’s just the phone is rather basic and thats all the apps are. The web browser isn’t fantastic, ok I guess for checking football scores or basic text surfing, but as there’s no WiFi or <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/3g/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with 3G">3G</a> connectivity that’s pretty much all you’ll be able to do anyway. I had a rather extensive play with the camera in different scenes etc. If you’re in a well-lit room or outside and have a steady hand the picture quality isn’t that bad. However in low light and someone with not so steady hands like myself a bit of blur crept in. Due to a lack of Flash too there’s no real way round it. All in all though the camera wasn’t that bad and I was quite impressed with a couple of the shots I took. The camera also has a video mode. Again similar problems, it’s not super smooth and in low light the picture quality isn’t great.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Conclusion. Well the Cookie Fresh is what it is, an entry-level phone. We were very impressed with the super bright, sharp display which is usually bobbins on this price-range of phone but LG have nailed this making a non-smart phone look……… smart. The phone itself is aesthetically pleasing it certainly doesn’t offend the eyes in anyway at all and is hardly noticeable in your pocket. Certain aspects of the interface and OS are good like the avatars for your friends and the quick text/phone options. The only downsides to the phone really are the resistive nature of the screen which could make me frustrated at times in trying to open things or flick through the homescreens and the odd text message mistakes. The other problem is the lack of high speed connectivity. Not a problem if you don’t need it, but if you’re an internet addict and need plenty of information then you aren’t going to get it in a hurry from this phone. All in all a great entry level phone if all you want to do is talk and text and for the price it certainly offers everything and more you’d expect from it in comparison to to other phones at that price.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Powered with Intel’s Core i7 processor and 1GB of <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/nvidia/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with NVIDIA">NVIDIA</a> graphics goodness this 15.6” laptop ops for the polarising 3D effect and comes bundled with a fetching pair of the cheaper polarised frames. The 3D effect comes from the TriDef software we saw on Lenovo’s recently released <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/hardware/lenovo-3d-laptop/2429" target="_blank">IdeaPad Y560d</a> 3D laptop, it converts the 2D images on the go into a 3D image, that when fired through a polarised screen into your Joe 90s the image “comes to life”. The laptop is also capable of HD quality sound and has the option for a Blu-Ray drive.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>We have no details on the exact date of release or price but LG have also gone on to say they’re planning a plethora of 3D gadgets, including monitors for PC gaming and even 200” projectors with 3D capabilities.</p>

Not only this, it’s the first time I’ve got fully to grips with the <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/android/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Android">Android</a> OS and I like what I’m seeing but more about that later. Click on for the rest of the review.</p>
<p> <span id="more-2284"></span>
<p><strong><em><u></u></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><u>THE BODY</u></em></strong></p>
<p>In comparison to most of the new smartphones out there the GW620 is a hell of a lot smaller than an iPhone, Nexus One or Milestone and was a lot nicer in my pocket than my current brick like N97. The phone feels light but despite its plastic shell and rubber back seems sturdy and doesn’t feel like it’ll explode on impact with the floor after dropping it. </p>
<p>The power/lock button sits at the top and the headphone jack sits next to it, slightly raised from the body making it sit nice and flush. Now I’m indifferent really to where headphone sockets are placed but in theory this is probably the best if your phone is in your pocket with the lead coming out the top. </p>
<p>Now to the body sides, on one side you have a dedicated microSD slot/gate. It’s one of those rubber swinging gates once opened the card sits inside and click/pushes in and out. Now from what I know most newer Android phones place the SD card under the battery which is obviously hassle if you want to switch them over so brownie points to LG here for putting it on the side.</p>
<p>Just below the gate you have a music button which when pressed brings up your Music gallery options and a below that a camera button to use to shoot your pics in camera mode.</p>
<p>On the other side again a rubber, swinging gate only this time its your charge/usb port. Now as its micro USB a lot of new phones(ie my N97) now use micro USB as their charge/data transfer and so if you have any spare cables or chargers they should be compatible with the GW620, however it’s always recommended you use the ones supplied with the phone. Then to finish it off we have your volume controls tucked underneath the port. Although the buttons on both sides stick out slightly i never found myself accidently pressing them when removing the phone from my pocket.</p>
<p>The keyboard next, oh what a wonderful keyboard!!!! Extremely simple to slide out, with a nice click to let you know its extended to the max. Now this keyboard is brilliant, probably the best full QWERTY I’ve ever come across on a phone. Unlike other phones that require you to press a shift or function button for numbers and symbols, this is a five line keyboard with its own dedicated numbers buttons and cursor keys. It’s a dream to use the keys are a decent size and spaced out perfectly. Unless your fingers are massive there’s no trouble firing out a fast typed message without fingers sticking to the keys or pressing multiple digits. Truly LG have got this right on the phone and hopefully other designs like this will follow from other phone brands. I’m personally not a huge fan of on screen software keyboards like the iPhone’s or whatever as i continually press the wrong buttons. This was like typing out on my keyboard at home.</p>
<p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/LG_Intouch_max_gw6201742090.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="LG Intouch max gw6201742090 thumb LG GW620 InTouch Max : Review" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/LG_Intouch_max_gw6201742090_thumb.jpg" width="300" height="225" title="LG Intouch max gw6201742090 thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong><em><u>USER INTERFACE</u></em></strong></p>
<p>Now as I said before this is the first time I’ve got to fully get to play with Android and obviously from blogging frequently about phones and gadgets etc I’ve noticed plenty of companies are turning to it to use in their phones, netbooks and PMPs. From what I can tell Android itself is pretty standard on whatever phone it be used on from the T-Mobile G1 to the HTC Hero, with just the obvious “skinning” differences. Now I also know that Android has been upgraded several times since its release and yet the GW620 is still using an older version, Android 1.5, which disappointed me slightly on reading it but I had nothing to compare it to in the first place.</p>
<p>So you fire it up. Boot up seemed to take quite a while for me, around a minute and a half, which when you’re impatient and need to quickly get on your phone can feel like a lifetime. Once it has booted up however the phone starts to get a little clever for its user. LG have incorporated it to boot in 2 modes, solely for the users preference. If you’re coming to this phone from another Android phone and you’re used to its UI, you could opt for the Android boot where everything is laid out in the plain Android way with 3 home screens which can be customised by you with your favourite quick starts/contacts or your favourite widgets etc. There’s also the drag out screen whereby all your apps and phone options are all listed and available at a click much like the iPhone screens.. The other choice option is the LG S-Class style UI over the Android one. Now if you’re familiar with LG phones, the Koreans have been using this style UI on its past few phones. Firstly the homescreens can be continuously shifted through unlike the Android 3 of left, middle and right. With the icons, instead of everything being grouped in one table, your apps and options are sorted and listed in their uses ie Multimedia, Communication etc. Now I’d witnessed the S-Class style before with the LG Arena and to be honest I wasn’t overly keen on it so I gave it a quick few plays and opted to try the Android version which was great and very easy to use.</p>
<p>Now its all well and good describing he initial use of the phone but what about the actual control, the resistive touchscreen, yeah I sighed too at resistive. It isn’t as bad as you might think but as always isn’t a capacitive one and therefore could be better. Occasionally you may press an icon only for the&#160; phone not to respond, you press it again, nothing, press it again and damn, the phones going mental opening things you don’t want, freezing up etc. Although not happening often its one problem I had a few times with the phone. The touch sensitive buttons at the bottom of the screen are a little sensitive too. if you’re playing about on the screen with a game or app, a slight touch of the return or home button can instantly close what you’re doing and get quite infuriating at times especially if you’re in the middle of something important. Another problem with the screen is that it can unlock your phone. There are three ways to unlock the phone keys. A double tap of the top power button, a double tap of the menu button, or a tap of the screen and hold the on screen key. I found that all three of these methods can easily lead to the keys opening in your pocket , leading to the phone obviously doing what it or the inside of your pocket feels like, like making phone calls that you’re unaware of.</p>
<p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/LGGW6202.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="LGGW6202 thumb LG GW620 InTouch Max : Review" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/LGGW6202_thumb.jpg" width="400" height="299" title="LGGW6202 thumb photo" /></a> </p>
</p>
<p><strong><em><u>MAKING CALLS AND MESSAGING</u></em></strong></p>
<p>Making calls on the GW620 is pretty simple, the dialler is quick and easy to use(as it is with nearly every phone). When making calls, the phone volume is adequate although could occasionally do with being a little louder. The clarity was also good, i mean it wasn’t crystal clear but a lot of the time its also down to the person who you are talking to’s phone aswell. </p>
<p>Signal wise the GW620 picked up signal in places my N97 can’t but the GPRS/EDGE signal will usually stay in place even when you’re in a <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/3g/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with 3G">3G</a> “hotspot”. However as said it was very rare the phone didn’t seem to get a signal, a problem i face a lot when I’m at work. </p>
<p>The contact system in place with the GW620 works very well and depite the phone not being a top-end <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/smartphone/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Smartphone">smartphone</a> I was impressed with it, even though it was still quite reminiscent of the Arena’s S-Class interface style. Obviously LG are marketing the phone to a “social networker” and the contact list works hand in hand with your friends <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/facebook/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Facebook">Facebook</a>, Twitter and Bebo accounts. You can also seperate your friends into groups and even your favourite contacts get their own quick-list.</p>
<p>Your contact list is well laid out and has ample space for even the stubbiest of fingers to select, tweak and scan through and then another quick click to call or message them.Where the social networking comes in is the ability to link your contacts with their accounts. Facebook for example will throw your contacts profile picture as their calling picture. I’m not a “Tweeter” however so I don’t know quite how well the Twitter thing works, but if the Facebook one is anything to go by it should be good.</p>
<p>Messaging, an absolute dream on this phone. I honestly haven’t come across a better phone or OS for texts. The main reason for this is the keyboard as stated before is the bee’s knees and in my experience better than any other physical keyboard and much more reliable than any software keyboard. Secondly the messaging system on Android is great, it logs your conversations like an instant messenger and the same as the iPhone, great for me who forgets where his text conversations are going or what was said previous without having to scan through his “Sent Messages” folder.</p>
<p>The GW620 also has the Moxier suite with support for push email. Again a dream with the keyboard and quite handy for your emails on the go, although it could be a little sluggish at times and occasionally wouldn’t download messages, but I’m sure this will only improved if the phone gets an Android software update. Options are also available to set up an IMAP or POP3 account and were relatively easy.</p>
<p><strong><em><u>CAMERA</u></em></strong></p>
<p>LG’s cameraphones in the past have had pretty decent snappers on board. Android phones it seems lack a decent camera and the GW620 doesn’t shine like the Sony Ericsson phones or Carl Zeiss lensed Nokias. However it still takes good quality pictures and has plenty of options for you to tweak ISO settings etc. The flash was quite bright considering its just a small LED flash but in low-lit areas it provided enough light for a decent shot although i wouldn’t expect any decent night shots. When in well-lit conditions the picture quality was excellent however the one big downside to this phone and like the Arena is the age it takes between you pushing the button and it actually taking the picture. The shutter sound goes but its several seconds before the picture is actually taken which at first i was moving the phone before the picture was actually taken causing blurred images. It also means shots cant be taken in quick succession. Another downfall is the phone trying to be a little too clever. LG have tried to incorporate an “Auto-Detect” feature to the camera, suggesting that the phone can detect who the people are in your photos and then give you the opportunity to upload them to Facebook or whatever. However although the idea is fantastic it doesn’t quite work as well as you’d hope and would occasionally get the person wrong, nevertheless this could be improved.</p>
<p>Videos although at a fairly low res (320&#215;240) playback at a smooth 30fps and again the option to share your videos is there like the photos.</p>
<p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/gw620lg4.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="gw620lg4 thumb LG GW620 InTouch Max : Review" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/gw620lg4_thumb.jpg" width="404" height="297" title="gw620lg4 thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p><strong><em><u>INTERNET AND MEDIA</u></em></strong></p>
<p>Internet on Android phones works great and the GW620 is one of those phones bundles with a WebKit enabled browser. The biggest hinderence to the GW620 is the resistive touchscreen which at times is unresponsive and could be hard to select links/buttons&#160; in the browser. The interface to the browser was strange though, a hidden tab at the side that worked well but occasionally got in the way when trying to read text on web pages or would annoyingly pop up when you didn’t want it to.</p>
<p>The browser itself though was usable in portrait but much better to use in landscape. One nice touch is the auto-fit ability it had. Double tap on a certain area, the window zoomed in and the text automatically sized to fit the screen. Despite it’s basic nature, no Flash playback etc the browser was good enough for simple web browsing and was quick and easy to use. I encountered very few problems with it to be honest.</p>
<p>The media gallery next. Quite confusing to look at, quite confusing to use but once you get the hang of it the GW620 is certainly decent enough to supply the needs of a basic user for photos the odd video and music listener. If you’re a bit of a techphile(if the word exists) you might be a little disappointed, but it certainly has its uses. LG has packed it with most of the worlds favourite codecs so you got decent playback of DivX, MP4 and H.264 video files and despite the smaller than average screen they still looked good and certainly watchable. The Music player is very basic, but does the job nevertherless. Lovely big icons to press and the user interface is simple and user friendly. However it just plays the songs in your gallery. Nothing more. No extra fancy tweaks, EQ or Artwork changing ability, but i guess if you wanted that you’d have got an iPhone or a Nokia MusicExpress.</p>
<p>&#160;<a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lg_gw620_2.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="lg gw620 2 thumb LG GW620 InTouch Max : Review" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lg_gw620_2_thumb.jpg" width="350" height="365" title="lg gw620 2 thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p><strong><em><u>FINAL THOUGHTS AND CONCLUSION</u></em></strong></p>
<p>At first battery life seemed quite good for the phone, a full charge lasting a couple of days with a bit of talktime and plenty of messaging. However once i got to grips with Android and i dabbled on the market, started surfing with the Wi-Fi enabled,&#160; downloaded some apps, installed and then bam, the battery life started to drop to just over a day’s worth. You see most of the apps require either constant connection or the odd bit of online info and i struggled to turn them off completely without uninstalling them. That’s more of an Android problem then the phone itself though to be fair.</p>
<p>Being the first Android phone I’d got my mitts on it didn’t bother me too much that it was only running the older 1.5 but from what i understand this is the basic. The lowest form of Android. Still I was very impressed though and hopefully the GE620 will see an OS upgrade which could possibly further improve the experience, I’d have to see this to make that decision but I can’t see why it wouldn’t improve the phone.</p>
<p>Generally I really enjoyed this phone, for a Nokia veteran I’m tired now of Symbian, to be honest its rubbish. This phone opened me up to Android even at the lowest level but what really grabbed me was the messaging and that keyboard. LG have impressed me here with this phone. For the price its brilliant and although its not up there with the big guns like iPhone or the Nexus One it certainly is a leader in its field and if i didn’t budget myself to have a ridiculously overpriced contract and top end phone and i opted for a lower one I would seriously consider this phone. What it has also done has sung Android’s praises to me and definitely made me consider opting for an Android phone in the future. High Five LG!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lg/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LG">LG</a> <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/oled/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with OLED">OLED</a> TV has been doing the rounds at tradeshows and on blogs the world over for a good year or so now but now us Brits can expect a release of the super sharp but small TV anytime soon. Now we can finally get our hands (well if you happen to be well-off) on a bigger rival to the <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/sony-xel-1/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sony XEL-1">Sony XEL-1</a> which was the only OLED screen available.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>At 15” you may think this is relatively small in comparison to a 50” <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/plasma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Plasma">plasma</a> or <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lcd/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LCD">LCD</a> but the quality is far beyond that of either of the older techs which if you have a mobile or PMP that utilises OLED technology you may have noticed the difference between it and its <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lcd/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LCD">LCD</a> counterpart. The output is a good 720p and will have Freeview inside. It also has a USB port and will playback any of your movie files including DivX HD. To top all that off though is the best part ………… It’s only 3.2mm thick.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>No exact date has been posted by the South Koreans for us though but expect real soon. Also price details are a bit hazy too but you’ll be looking at around £1500. A lot you might say for a 15” screen. Unfortunately OLED screens aren’t cheap to make but when it’s only competition is the Sony XEL-1 which is a few inches smaller but £3000, it doesn’t seem too bad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Rumoured for the past month or so and with the success of the GW620 In Touch Max(<a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lg/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LG">LG</a>’s first <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/android/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Android">Android</a> phone, <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/review/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Review">review</a> coming soon) LG has announced its next Android phone only this time they’re powering up with Qualcomm’s speed friendly <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/snapdragon/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with snapdragon">Snapdragon</a> 1GHz chip.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The news comes that the phone will appear in its native South Korea in the next month and Android France has leaked the rest of the specs on the phone. It will supposedly be packing a lovely 3.5” AMOLED capacitive touchscreen capable of a super sharp 800&#215;480 resolution. It will also have a 5MP camera, GPS and Wi-Fi plus apparently a digital TV Tuner(promising….) Android France have also stated it will be packing the latest Android, 2.1. The success of the GW620’s physical keyboard appears to have followed to the <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lu2300/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LU2300">LU2300</a>, let’s hope it’s as good.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>It seems to be the norm now for the latest Android phones to be powered by the “dragon” so obviously LG is getting in with the crowd and is looking to improve on its previous Android releases which will only be a good thing. No release or price news yet so watch this space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Originally the <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lg/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LG">LG</a> <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/ld950/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LD950">LD950</a> 3DTV was scheduled to be released in August but now it has been brought forward allowing consumers to get a chance to snap up some 3D tech at a cheaper price(due to it being a passive 3DTV). For anyone who didn’t know this TV was originally scheduled for release, then withdrawn from LGs product line only to re-emerge again.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>With the recent Sky 3D pub showings of the football recently on LGs LD920(the commercial model for LG to show off its tech) has now been upgraded to the LD950 model number as it will now have HDMI 1.4. This was needed due to the fact future 3D sources like Blu-Ray players will use this new HDMI 1.4 as its standard so the TVs needed an update so they could then be on open sale(hence the delay/re-branding).</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Now this new model should be available in May time and will come out alongside the monstrous LG <a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/tag/lx9900/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with LX9900">LX9900</a>(the first 3DTV available with Active technology). Now for those not in the know its all to do with the type of glasses you wear and the science involved to view the image, Active being better than Passive for the image quality but Passive specs are a lot cheaper to produce. Price details are still not available.</p>

<p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Samsun9000.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Samsun9000 thumb LG and Samsung 3DTVs coming in March" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Samsun9000_thumb.jpg" width="300" height="200" title="Samsun9000 thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p>With so much in the 3D world appearing within the next year (Sky 3D, 3D gaming and more 3D Movies) now is a good time for the release. With the obvious popularity rise in 3D now at its highest since the 80s 3D revolution the question asked we need to ask is “will people spend the money on what could be the next fad”. Samsung seem to think so but maybe not as highly as first anticipated. Samsung Visual Display Division chief Yoon Boo-Keun said that Samsung had dropped their target of 2.6million 3DTV sales to 2 million(still a lot of sales)</p>
<p><a href="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/LGinfinia.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;float: none;margin-left: auto;border-top: 0px;margin-right: auto;border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="LGinfinia thumb LG and Samsung 3DTVs coming in March" src="http://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/LGinfinia_thumb.jpg" width="300" height="195" title="LGinfinia thumb photo" /></a> </p>
<p>Only problem is they’re keeping shtumm about prices but i wouldn’t expect it to be anything but ludicrous!</p>
