 LG W3000 is announced in 2002
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 W3000 is a very slender and compact handset at 102 x 45 x 20 mm and 79 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.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.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the W3000's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all LG handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The W3000 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 W3000 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 W3000 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , FAX/Modem, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the W3000 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 850 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 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 W3000 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
LG's W3000 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. |
