From first glance, the LG E900 smartphone has nice aesthetics, much stronger and more accurate than was common in the images. The 3.8-inch WVGA TFT display with 480 x 800 capacitive occupies most of the body, except for a black frame with LG symbol and the three physical buttons that Microsoft imposed on Windows Terminal Phone 7: the back button, home and Search button.
Laterally to the right, we find the cover that protects the micro USB connection and a dedicated key for the camera, while on the left side of the phone are the dedicated volume buttons. At the top of the phone there is the entrance for headphones (3.5 mm) and the key to lock / unlock the keypad. The overall appearance of the terminal is compact, solid, clean.
The back cover shows the optics of the camera (5.O megapixel camera with flash, up to 4x zoom, autofocus, beauty shot, ISO 400, 5 scenes including selectable portrait / landscape / sports / night / sunset, face detection, closed eyes and smile, geotagging and upload directly to Facebook) and specifies the ability to shoot HD video in resolutions up to 1280 × 720 pixels 30fp. The cover that protects the phone battery is a shiny gray and solid aluminum, very easy to raise with the appropriate button. Continue reading »
After reviewing the individual aspects and he summarized the seven positive features of Windows 7 Phone, today we see the seven adverse features of the new OS from Microsoft. To do so, again, I am inspired by the list compiled by IntoMobile, confirming my feelings about it.
Lack of copy / paste
Well, for the moment lacks the copy / paste in Windows Phone 7. This is a very important feature that all other mobile platforms have a long time (think of Symbian), others less (IOS), but nevertheless I find it indispensable in a smartphone that is also aimed at business customers. We think of when we receive an email address or a phone number and we can not copy it: very unnerving. Microsoft has promised integration in early 2011 via a software update. Until then, it will remain a gap that frankly I can not explain.
No Multi-tasking real
Omission rather surprising if we think that the multi-tasking in Windows Mobile and was present even in this case is quite useful for business use of your phone. The multi-tasking allows applications to continue running in the background with the ability to switch between them while using the phone. The switch from one application to another in Windows 7 Phone, requires you to pass from the home screen and launch a single application. Microsoft has provided multi-tasking phone only a few native applications such as email and the browser, then there is the potential for a full implementation of all the features of the phone.
Exploitation and transfer of multimedia content
The service of Microsoft Zune Pass gives you access to numerous streaming content, but the media player is not the best for the use thereof. You can not play audio in landscape format, a feature unusual in that many terminals have WP7 kickstand for use in wide format. The video version of landscape, however, appear good. The file transfer to be another negative point: you need the Zune software. You can not use WiFi, the file must be manually transferred from phone to computer. There is also no support for USB storage. Continue reading »
