I did not find a suitable category for this mobile and hence posting this under the GSM section.
The price is too high with a horrible battery backup(LG patent). I purchased at 8300 from ebay.
I have sold it off at 5000 and am relieved of this junk.
First day, I got the phone and contacted Reliance and they have no clue from where I got this model. This is of course not the phone problem, I understand. But rcom website listing this phone with wrong feature set is misleading.
You cannot install anything in here. So no IM's or anything can be done.
Clumsy html windows live messenger feature is there, I hated to use that.
Internet/portal advertisement list this as in-built browser, but in reality no browser is there. You click on browser option and it takes you to R-world mobile internet option where you have to browse using R-world and end up paying for using R-world, although you may have unlimited internet plan.
Inbuilt myspace/tweeter/orkut sometimes work, sometimes not. May be this is related to Reliance but I doubt so. On refreshing everytime, the web pages appear. Myspace never worked even before I was reselling.
In built you tube player too nasty in quality.
as told earlier battery is no better with 4 hrs talk time. Imagine after 6 months, so keep a second battery handy.
Speaker sound is too low. In full volume of 7, I can barely say mp3 was ok.
Most horrible Fm tuner I have ever seen. Auto search and store seldom worked. I had a nightmare in getting the channels I want with manual tuning.
Ok type stereo headset.
LG mobile sync Software is also clumsy. You cannot see all the files at diff places inside the phones. Only selected locations are visible in the software for upload download.
The first time software installation was amazing. I never understood where I clicked and how it got installed. You need to see it to believe it. I doubt if any newbie will ever be able to install the phone drivers, if you want to use it as a modem. The cable/software simply refuses to detect the phone and suddenly you will find magically everything is working.
4Gb max micro sd card slot. 8GB I consider atleast somewhat decent.
You cannot do MMS. No support is there. LG should be kicked in the back for such cheating.
camera is below at per, atleast the price which I am paying.
Call quality was decent.
Phone handling/operation was user friendly.
Go for it if you need a smartphone and full touchphone with basic features. First time touchphone users with minimal internet requirement is ok. But prepare to throw it off in 6 months, since your demand will increase.
I doubt if this model will ever be popular.
I just lost 3000, but still am happy. M now using 2 Blackberry tours with peace of mind.
Best,
