The Germans have brought us many a comedy moment in the past, as we all know. But best amongst all their comedy gold mines is their language. Because who else, when looking for a description of songs that stick in your head annoyingly when you hear them played, would call that phenomenon an ohrwurm, or ear-worm. Genius. Which is why, when we heard that the newly announced LG Louvre was coming equipped with a Schneider Kreuznach lens to go with its beastly big 12 megapixels, we thought we’d phone up our German friend to ask what that meant, expecting the answer to be something along the lines (said with a guttural laugh) “a-ha-ha-ha, that means it is a sneaky-cracking lens, meaning it will break all your hearts with how good it is, a-ha-ha-ha.”

However, all Hans did was explain to us that Schneider Kreuznach is the abbreviated name of the company Jos. Schneider Optische Werke GmbH, which is sometimes also simply referred to as Schneider and that they are a manufacturer of industrial and photographic optics… And then we realised he semed to just be reading off Wikipedia so we hung up.

But the point, we realised, was still an important one, because it seems the LG Louvre GC990 is going to be a cameraphone that packs not just an obscene number of megapixels, but also a lens that should at least mostly be able to cope with them and produce some pretty decent pictures. Hurrah for German stereotypes about quality engineering! Hurrah for cameraphones! Hurrah for LG mobile phones! Hurrah for… erm… this LG Louvre review!

The LG GT505 is a cracking, mid-range phone featuring a 3″ full touchscreen, GPS, technolgy for emails and social networking, Wi-Fi, HSDPA 3.6, 3G, voice activation and a spankingly good 5-megapixel camera with loads of other things that do a fine job too.

However, the LG GT500 is also a cracking, mid-range phone featuring a 3″ full touchscreen, GPS, technolgy for emails and social… you get the idea. So, save our fingers. If you want to know about the LG GT505, skip down a few posts and read what we had to say about the GT500. Or read this LG GT505 review here which shock horror is almost identical to a review we saw recently about the GT500 too.

Life is too short. And we’re too lazy. So go on, skip down a few posts to reveal all the GT505 secrets you could ever hope to reveal. And we’ll be in the pub when you’re done.
