LG GT500 (LG Puccini). Ain’t half bad

LG have pretty much admitted that this phone is nothing all that special and will be aimed squarely at the mass market. Nothing wrong with that in our book, and who’s to say there’s anything wrong with aiming to do something, and do it well, without having to do it flash-bang spectacularly well. Set to be released exclusively on T-Mobile, the LG GT500 Puccini – or the Puccini as it might well only be known as – will be hitting our shelves sometime very soon indeed. Although LG are pushing certain smart and business phone features in our faces – ultrafast EDGE technology giving broadband-esque speeds; integrated email checking; GPS; and so on and so forth – we’ve actually been most impressed by the camera on this thing. The GT500 Puccini boasts no fewer than ten – that’s 10, count ‘em if you don’t believe us – reasons why this is going to one of the best cameras out there:

  • 5 megapixels
  • Auto focus
  • Image stabilization
  • Blink Shot
  • Digital zoom
  • Effects
  • Flash
  • Geotagging
  • Face recognition
  • Video

So, super slick smartphone the LG GT500 Puccini ain’t. High-end business phone it definitely ain’t. But a neat little package with a surprisingly good camera it… wait, what’s the opposite of ain’t? Check out an LG Puccini review here for some more specs.
