LG GW520. Not bad. Not great, but not bad.
The LG GW520 has a number of features that, combined with its impressively low price – are going to make a whole bunch of people very happy indeed. Most important here is the ‘push’ services that the phone offers. Instead of emails and social networking updates sitting passively ‘out there’ on the internet until you remember to go and check them, push works by pinging the messages directly to your phone via its pretty rapid internet connection. That means you don’t need to worry about logging in and checking, the phone does the work for you.
Also of interest is the LiveSquare feature. This enables you to see those contacts you talk to most appear as little animated character on the homescreen. A fun way to enable quick, easy access to those people closest to you.
The large, slide-out QWERTY keyboard of the GW520 will also be a huge draw for those who find themselves texting and writing emails all day long. With a really satisfying click to the keys, we’re confident this keyboard pad will not only feel comfortable, but will also stand up to even the most rigorous users demands. The camera might not be the best at 3 megapixels, the screen’s not huge (but is more than adequate), and it might not look like the best phone in the world, but we think the LG GW520 is going to make more than a few customers very happy indeed. If not for the decent range of networking services it offers, then definitely for the money it will save them along the way. For more details, check out this LG GW520 review here.
