LG GB250 review
Network and connections
An LG phone equipped with good quality functions and technical features, ready to satisfy every type of user. The network receiver is a GSM Triband, capable of operating on the 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz frequencies. Signal coverage is thus optimal, also thanks to UMTS support. Browsing the internet is easy and fast, thanks to the integrated modem that handles data traffic in GPRS. The HTML browser can therefore open pages without any problems. To exchange files with other devices, the Bluetooth connection is useful. With the USB data cable output, it is instead possible to sync the phone directly with your home PC.
Design and features
The soft and unassuming lines make the GB250 adaptable to any use. The structure remains fairly compact, despite the body opening in a clamshell style. Inside, this frees up the alphanumeric keypad, with keys well distributed to make them as easy to use as possible. Also on the inside is the main display, a 176x220 pixel TFT, capable of displaying up to 256,000 colors. On the outside, however, there is a second display, monochrome but useful for viewing important information.
Main features
This LG phone comes with a proprietary platform, which already offers complete functionality as standard. Here then is the contacts address book, the calendar for appointments, alarm clock and calculator. But thanks to Java support, it is also possible to install additional software, to better customize your device. Support for predictive text input allows you to quickly compose any type of text, from SMS to E-mail. Thanks to the Pocket Office package, it is also possible to manage attachments. The voice section offers the speakerphone, the ability to make multiconference calls and the voice recorder.
Entertainment and multimedia
To complete the description, let's now talk about the multimedia features of the GB250. The digital camera allows you to take photographs at a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. The quality is not high, however it is always useful to have the ability to capture special moments. The available memory is expandable via microSD cards, so you can carry your favorite music with you in quantity. The multimedia player will take care of reproducing it all faithfully. The AM/FM radio receiver is not present, however. Battery life is also good, thanks to the 800 mAh lithium battery.
