The LG GW620 InTouch Max is the first Android phone from LG. You can customize your phone with a series of apps to suit your personal needs, ranging from news and weather apps, to games, and your favorite social networking apps including Facebook and Twitter. It is equipped with a slide out 5-line QWERTY keypad just like a pocket PC and a decent array of buttons as well.
The handset is slightly thicker than most of the touch screen devices, measuring 109 x 54.5 x 15.9mm, it features a 3-inch HVGA resistive touch screen display on the top, with three buttons across the bottom (home, back and menu).
The is a power and lock button on the top next to the 3.5mm headphone jack which is very uncommon in most of LG phones. On the sides of the phone there are dedicated camera and media buttons and a volume control. MicroSD card and Micro-USB slots lie under plastic flaps which have a neat and tidy finishing. But with the frequent need of recharging perhaps this was not the best choice.
Although it provides a choice for buyers of Android phones it runs an old version 1.5 of the Android which is pretty much outdated. There is an option to engage a touch of LG with a bar of icons on the homepage, and a grouped menu, but as you get three customizable homepages to litter with shortcuts and widgets, you probably don’t need to go there. A sweet feature that LG have included is the ability to tag the pictures of people once face recognition kicks in you can simply contact a person by touching their picture. The GW620 is very much user friendly when it comes to emailing and supports for push email. In the category of media, the dedicated music button will run the music player so you get fast access to your music. The formats supported are mainly MP3, AMR, AAC, AAC+, WAV, and WMA. The music widget will rest on your homepage and let you control the player giving the option to pause or skip tracks. The built in speaker is small and so the music does not plays that loud.
Video playback supports MPEG4, DivX, and WMV. The video capture offered by the 5-megapixel camera on the rear is just satisfactory. It comes with a flash and under suitable conditions it can provide some nice pictures.
This phone has its ups and downs like the resistive screen is poor, the phone is chunky and while the keyboard is good, the on-screen option isn’t in the same league, and that’s a real deal breaker for some buyers.
