The Multimedia experience.
The GT505 mobile phone offers a satisfying internet multimedia experience that becomes possible with a slew of features that while shared with the competition in one form or another, brings any mobile to at the top of its class. Here's a sampling of these:
• It sports a 3" TFT touchscreen display supporting 256k colors in QVGA resolution, providing brilliant screen display that is the envy of bulky Windows-based mobile phones.
• The camera is no laggard as it captures images at 5 megapixel resolution. Auto Focus and LED flash, together with image stabilization assure you of vibrant clear photos virtually all the time. It even has what its rivals have - face and smile recognition, as well as geo tagging.
• Enhanced with Dolby 2.0 processing, its media player makes possible a truly engaging music listening experience.
• Bluetooth 2.0 support with A2DP enables you to use wireless Bluetooth headphones.
• FM radio is thrown in like any in the market.
• 130mb internal memory is among the largest out there. But this can be expanded up to 8Gb with its external memory slot for microSD, giving you all the memory space to accommodate your multimedia files.
The Social Networking Focus
The GT505 is among the first touchscreen phones positioned to give users the entire social networking access it needs while on the road. Empowered with a capable internet browser and support for high speed networks under 3G and HSDPA, the new LG phone makes access to your favorite social network sites like MySpace, Facebook and YouTube a real breeze with fast access and picture uploads.
In the office
There's no pretense to it being a Blackberry alternative. But the GT505 can maintain its head up high in the office with some useful features to make routine work life less of a burden and a real asset on the road. It has document viewers for PDF files as well as MS Office documents. The 3" display certainly comes out handy for this purpose. Its push email functionality is as good as it gets, allowing you to work and get in touch with the office from anywhere on the planet with its high speed data connectivity support.
