In the middle of cheap qwerty phone market is dominated by local brands, Motorola seems to not want to miss the opportunity to taste the best-selling cheap qwerty market in the country. To that I'll lose a little review about the
LG GW 300, cheap
qwerty phone feature-rich, but produced by a global branded vendor of the famous South Korea.
Design and Dimensions
LG GW 300 has an attractive design and innovative, the body shaped bar / bar with qwerty keypad compact. Quite slim and body path combination with body color on the side of making it beautiful. The ends of the oval curved corners, so the more look attractive. From the design, I see that the
LG 300 GW is very good, no BB or imitating other global branded. The design is unique and special. 115.4 mm in length with a width of 61 mm, combined with a thickness of only 12.6 mm, very comfortable touch. Moreover, the rear body has curved contour, so the more fit and comfortable grasped. Also fairly light weight of only 96.5 grams.
When we look at the front of this 300 GW Motorola, it appears that the proportion of the screen, the menu button and its qwerty keypad is proportional. 2.4-inch screen that was quite relieved to see video or pictures. Menu button made a circle, a large circle in the middle of a 5-way navigation button (with the execution button "ok" in the middle), and two circles on either side of soft-pad button at the top and the c key (clear) and key (lock) on the right and the program (to see running programs) on the left. At the outer edge of this circle button, there are two call buttons (on the right) and end / on-off on the left.
The body material front and sides of solid plastic hard enough and good quality. While the rear of the chassis is dominated by the plastic battery cover is very light and frail impressed. In the back of the phone there is only 2 MP camera lens, mirror and a hole shaped like a star fruit speakers. At the top of the phone is 3.5 female jack port ", port charge and the hole for the rope / hanger
phone. In the body parts are left only to the camera shutter button, while on the right are the volume and swappable micro SD slot.
Personal assessment: good design, trendy, interactive and interesting. But the battery casing cover is less robust, because the plastic is rather thin and a bit bouncy when pressed. Suggestions: Closed with silicon (bonus purchases) will be keeping the phone from scratches and impact, but still look beautiful and elegant.
Screen and Interface
Screen 2.4 "TFT 262k with 240x320 resolution can display images with crisp and clear. The menu also displayed well-organized and neat with a 4x3 matrix menu. Interface is also interesting with UI effects sweet enough when we move from one menu to another menu. LG 300 GW LiveSquareTM
technology with a unique avatar-avatar, so it is more alive and fun. Phone and the incoming sms will appear on the main screen with this innovative technology. There are two options LiveSquareTM themes, namely "Zoo" and "Park".
We also can change the font size and color, change the menu view style (matrix and list) and change the color of the main theme, a white and black. We can also customize the display on the main screen, like a clock, calendar and more. There are six main menu, namely Games & Applications, Calls, Organizer and Browser on the first line. Multimedia, Messaging, Property I and Connectivity in the second row, and the Search for Yahoo, contacts, tools and settings in the third row.
Personal Assessment: There is a little delay when switching from one menu to another menu. However, this delay is not so obvious and not so a problem. Black theme better in my opinion, makes hp look more beautiful and elegant.
Keys and Keypad
LG GW qwerty pad 300 has a neat little curved slightly downward following the curve of the phone body. Trendy and beautiful appearance, coupled with the base pad black / dark and writing letters and numbers white / bright. Padnya size standards but tight, there is no interrupted between each keys. This is a bit troublesome for who is unfamiliar and has a large thumb.
The key soft enough though a bit bouncy, but more tender than Valencia and C6625 LG Voyager Venera V1. The response was also quite fast, this is how I feel when typing sms. Key figures in the middle and blocked with striking colors (red and white). To type numbers or symbols, simply hit the shift key on the lower right (third row from top) cell phone. There is no shortcut key messaging shortcut except it (on the bottom row second from right).
Personal assessment: key keypad, in my opinion quite soft, comfortable and convenient to use. Also looks interesting and good.
Multimedia
LG GW 300, not only has a trendy design and elegant, but also has a complete multimedia tools and entertaining. The first multimedia feature that I highlight is the camera. LG GW 300 has a camera with a resolution of 2 MP (1600 x 1200) are quite capable. Pretty good result and there is no interpolation at all like the local phone
camera. The picture is bright and clear, although not autofocus and no flash led. The
camera also features a complete, existing facilities zoom, night mode, brightness control and so forth. GW LG 300 camera is, I can say is good enough camera to capture important moments we, even we can also directly upload them to facebook. As if it is used to retrieve the video, the result is good enough if the bright light. Although their quality is still 15 fps QCIF max 176x144 resolution., But enough and good quality.
Player Audio / Music LG GW 300 also has a very qualified. Existing facilities Motorola playlist and equalizer to complete. The output sound from the speakers quite clean, but less powerful. If we maximize the volume, the sound is less clear and somewhat broken. However, with the 3.5 headset jack male, pounding sound so good. His voice is clean and the effect was felt equalizernya. Support for video files are MP3, AAC and AAC +. LG audio player 300 GW is quite good and very entertaining. Video player is also quite entertaining, although only can play MPEG4 and H.263 codecs.
Not forgetting also the FM radio that still requires a headset (as an antenna) to listen. His voice is also quite good and the ability to store and search for pretty good radio station. Last is the voice recorder, which can record sound with good results.
Connectivity and Internet
Although dibanderol cheaply (under 1.5 million), LG GW 500 provides a connection point fairly complete. The phone runs on GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900 (Quad band) and EDGE (2.5 G) which claimed 7x faster than GPRS channels. For storage migration we can rely on USB 2.0 (which already support
Sony Ericsson PC Suit V.3) and Bluetooth 2.1 (EDR support yet). LG GW 300 has an internal memory that is not large, only 15 M for storage. As for additional storage, this
phone support Micro SD upto 4 G.
