LG GW620 comes with Google Android and QWERTY keyboard

The LG GW620 is the company’s first Android handset and is aimed at the middle to low end of the market. 

The touchscreen and the QWERTY keyboard are a great combination, working really well together.  The Android operating system functions well with the hardware too.  The handset is small and not too heavy but still looks classy.

The phone comes with an FM radio and the interface is well thought through, laid out well and user-friendly.  There’s a dedicated music button and a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can listen to your music without disturbing those around you.  The play back quality is not the best but is ok.

The camera is a good function on this phone.  It is 5-megapixels and you can file your favourite pictures in a specific gallery file, a great addition to phones especially as storage sizes are increasing.  The down side to the camera is that it is raised on the back of the phone, which means that the phone never lies flat.

The phone is preloaded with Google applications, Google maps, Gmail and YouTube and you obviously can download apps from the Android Market.  The phone comes with a Social Network Manager that enables you to keep track of your Facebook, Twitter and Bebo accounts from the one application.

Collecting emails on this phone is frustrating as it is not possible just to call up unread emails – you have to click through all the emails sent which is extremely time-consuming.
