LG InTouch Max GW620 Review

This is a great phone, I am really pleased with it. Firstly let me start by saying that I am not a very 'techy' person so this is quite a simple review!!



I decided to go for this phone as I was recently offered an upgrade with my phone provider. I wasn't sure at first as I've never had an LG phone and wasn't sure about their performance. I normally stick with Samsung as I'm a fan of the touch screen and camera quality. I originally decided to go for the Nokia 97 mini but having read the many bad reviews about the problems with the handset, spotted the LG instead, which actually looks very similar to the 97.



The phone is palm sized, with a slide out QWERTY keyboard which is one of the main reasons I went for this phone. Having used a normal mobile phone keypad for the last 10 years this took a while to get used to but I love it now and it's really easy to use. The phone can be used on its side with the keyboard pulled out but also upright with the keyboard closed, which then provides you with a normal mobile phone style keypad for texting etc.



The screen on the GW620 is outstanding; it has a 3 inch screen. The touch screen can sometimes be a bit of a pain as you can often go into the wrong menu choice but this is something that you get used to with time. The screen is bright and colourful, and easy to navigate through the many functions.



The phone comes with a 5 megapixel camera and the quality is really good, just as good as the Samsung Tocco I had previously. The button for the camera is on the side of the phone but easy to use otherwise



Text messaging is simple and the main messaging screen displays the messages as a thread to and from each individual sender rather than the messages separately, which is really useful instead of having to trek back through your inbox to check previous messages.



Browser is really easy to use aswell. The size of the screen is just perfect for networking sites such as facebook etc.



Sound quality on this phone is also really good and comes with loads of great ringtones; something that seems to be quite rare on phones these days. It also has a music player and FM radio.



The phone also has GPS navigation but I haven't used this as yet.



So far I haven't found anything I dislike about this phone. I cannot cover every function in this review but overall this is a great phone. If you do have any questions leave a comment and I shall try my best to answer!!
