LG is gearing up to launch the first of their Optimus range of Android powered handsets in India. Part of the perks of my job is that I sometimes get a chance to give you guys a sneak peak at handsets that aren’t officially launched in the country and in this case it’s the GT540.
Unfortunately I can’t give you a detailed review as I was sent a prototype that's still riddled with bugs. In lieu of that, here’s a quick preview of device before it hits the shelves officially.
Form Factor
It’s a slim, sleek handset with curvy lines and a slick brush-metal like finish. Dressed all in black, it’s hard not to notice that it’s a good looking device. Here’s the first mistake LG made though – the GT540 is equipped with a 3 inch resistive touchscreen that will require you to use a stylus for a few things.
An even bigger issue is that the stylus is not tethered, nor does it come with a built-in slot, you’re it’s more than likely you’ll misplace it in the first week. Using anAndroid phone with a stylus is just not a good thing. A couple of touch sensitive keys are placed under the display with button for taking and ending calls and a Home key in the center.
