LG GD510 Pop

TJ - Romford-25/03/2010  Looks: LG has proved simplicity is the key with two things that stand out straight away - a button and the screen. The multifunction button has many responsibilities considering it is only one button. Green means go ahead or it takes you straight to your call history which shows your recent calls made or received. Red means go back or hang up. Features:This is the Pop's strong point. On the home screen there is a bar at the bottom with widgets.You can drag these up from below. This is otherwise known as the Widget Page. The second screen is what LG call the Live Square. This is where you keep your favourite contacts.You can call, send messages, edit or delete numbers. On the third and final screen you can add speed dials. Another neat feature is the organiser function. Once you have dragged your widgets, contacts and speed dials to the screen, simply shake the device to organise the page. Also, when you get to the main menu you can view it either landscape or portrait simply by turning the phone around. Around the phone you have multifunction or dual function keys.The button at the top acts as a power button and a standby button. The button on the left side also has two jobs. Hold it down to get the camera on screen. Alternatively, press the button and your personal favourite applications come up. The final feature which I think is amazing is the silenced call. If you want to silence a call just turn the phone on its front and it will silence. You can also set this as a snooze function. Just turn over the phone to silence the alarm.Ease of use: This is where the Pop least impresses me. The camera is less than standard as it has no flash and no auto focus. However, the camera has an impressive 3 mega pixel. I find this amazing for what it is. Where else can you buy a touch screen phone with a 3 mega pixel camera? Therefore, this scores high in Value for Money. The other disappointing thing about the Pop is the sensitivity of the screen. Fortunately you can buy a stylus for it. Overview: You get plenty of features and plenty of fun for the small price tag. THANK YOU LG! I would recommend this phone to new buyers and anyone who wants to enter the new touch screen generation. The only market I do not recommend this phone for are people who are used to phones with a higher price tag.

SS - London-24/11/2009  The LG Pop has some really great features all in one device! It is said to be the successor to the LG Cookie and I can see why- a lot of fun, easy to use features with a very responsive touchscreen. The display is also a good size and it makes is easy to see everything on screen clearly. I don't usually use my mobile phone to take my photos, but I must say that the quality of the photos taken with the built in camera is quite impressive. There isn't a flash but as I said this isn't a big issue for me. One of the most important things for me is that I can listen to all of my music on the phone, which is possible with the music player. Luckily there is enough memory for me to store all of my music too. There are loads of other fun features to play around with on the GD510 Pop. All I can say is get this phone if you are after a compact touchscreen which is easy to navigate!
