The LG GT505, Trendy Social Networking Phone

LG has recently released its new GT505 mobile phone. The UK market gets first crack at it with T-Mobile’s exclusive hold to its identical twin, the GT500 dubbed Puccini. It is positioned as a fashion phone with focus on the social networking craze sweeping its target market for touch screen mobiles. The GT500 offers all the standard features of a mobile phone cum camera and multimedia phone.
The social networking goodies that set it apart

It certainly goes beyond text messaging and chat over the internet to provide a thoroughly more engaging experience in browsing. Starting with its vibrant 3" LCD display supporting 256k colors, the GT500 gives you high speed data connectivity support for 3G and HSDPA to ensure really fast internet connection to get you going in your favorite social networking sites. Surfing, uploading pictures and sharing on your social network sites become a breeze.

This facility sets the GT500 apart from many in the competition offering the same social networking access. Without high speed networks, internet access can be painfully slow to tax your patience and waste time. So it’s a good idea to always check the handset’s data connectivity options. Internet access without high speed is next to useless.

On top of that, the GT505 offers 'push' social networking technologies on the phone to instantly reflect updates so you can see the latest developments on your social network sites as soon as they happen. You can also update status messages, edit profiles, and add photos directly from the GT505.

Trendy features

The GT505 is not just for social networking. It’s a full-featured multimedia and camera mobile phone that keeps up with anything the competition has, and more.

- The GT505 is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE supporting 3G and HSDPA high speed data connection.
- There’s a 5-megapixel camera with auto focus, digital zoom and LED flash. On top of that, you get red-eye reduction and image stabilization. Face and smile recognition is thrown in to boot.
- A secondary camera on its façade enables easy 3G video calls.
- There’s standard GPS navigation pre-installed with a 30-day free trial LG WisePilot navigation system;
- Media playback is enhanced with Dolby 2.0 processing for a truly engaging music listening experience;
- Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP for enjoying wireless headsets;
- 130mb internal memory expandable up to 8Gb via microSD for external memory support

While certainly not spectacular, the GT505 sports a full-featured touchscreen phone with a social networking focus without giving up on what the best of the competition has. GP
