 LG G1500 is announced in 2004
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, LG has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the LG G1500 is a very slender and compact handset at 107 x 43 x 22 mm and 85 grams. The four color grayscale display is perfect for cheap phone like this,but is much better than black and white display.The display resolution 128 x 64 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all LG handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The G1500 lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent LG handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the LG G1500 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the LG G1500 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS (class 8), and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 16-channels polyphony, a voice recorder, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the G1500 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 850 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 250 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 127 minutes.
Availability
The LG G1500 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
LG's G1500 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from LG. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
