LG GT540 Incorporates Android 2.0
LG has decided to join the world of Android 2.0 via the LG GT540, a low priced handset that comes in a variety of colors. What the LG GT540 lacks in specs, it sort of makes up in style. It is a pretty cool looking phone that can be purchased in the following colors, pink, white, black and dark grey. Chrome accents are incorporated into the design of each phone. As of right now, the LG GT540 is only slated to be released in Europe with some fantastic LG GT540 deals.
The GT540 is not the highest spec phone coming up for release but it still fares a little better than handsets like the GS200 or LG Pop.
The GT540 is expected to have a 3 megapixel camera (with tagging and face detection), resistive touchscreen display with no keyboard. It does have a few buttons that are appropriately sensitive. The buttons are similar to what can be found on the LG’s S-Class UI. The phone also comes standard with 3G HSDPA connectivity, 3.5 mm jack for headphones, WiFi, Bluetooth and a microSD slot which allows users to add memory if necessary.
Owners of the LG GT540 will be able to download numerous apps. One pretty cool one is the New Media Player with DivX support. Another really neat feature is the handset’s social media manager. This is a widget that allows users to easily and quickly access their social networking websites, for example Facebook.
The LG GT540 is set to be available for sale in April of this year (2010). There has been no information released concerning price or what companies will carry the phone.
The GT540 is a nice phone. It doesn’t have the most impressive specs but it is a quality handset. Though the phone’s price hasn’t yet been shared with the public, it is rumored to be affordably priced. This makes it a good option for persons just entering the mobile phone market and it may also be a nice choice for those persons who don’t require top-notch specs.
