The LG Xenon : Great Features Messaging Phones

smartphone | Wednesday April 28 2010 7:34 am | Comments (0) Tags:

There’s nothing like choice. Just ask AT&T who released two very similar side-sliding QWERTY touch screen phones in the same week: the LG Xenon and the Samsung Impression. Much like the dynamic duo of touch screen slab phones, the LG Vu and Samsung Eternity on AT&T, LG takes the lower road while Samsung the higher road in terms of price, features and casing. The Xenon, released in April 2009 for $99 with contract after rebates, is half the price of the Samsung Impression, and it has a smaller and less fancy display as well as a lower resolution camera. At 4.1 x 2.1 x 0.6 inches and 3.8 ounces, the LG is one of the more pocketable side-sliding QWERTY phones and it’s much smaller than the Impression. And better yet, it’s not just a warmed over LG Vu: the touch UI has evolved in good ways and there are several new features like widgets that we’ve seen on LG’s more recent touch screen phones for Verizon.

Design
At first glance, the LG Xenon appears to be just another touch-screen phone. Measuring 4.16 inches long by 2.11 inches wide by 0.62 inch thick, the Xenon has smooth, sleek lines all around, with a touch of chrome around the border. It’s a little smaller than the LG Vu and a little thicker as well. The Xenon is fairly lightweight at 3.81 ounces, and it’s slim enough to fit in a front pocket. Dominating its entire front surface is a large 2.8-inch touch-screen display. It’s smaller than the 3-inch displays on the LG Dare and the LG Vu, but it still looks good. It supports 262,000 colors and 240×400 pixels, which result in great-looking graphics and colorful images. You can view the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and photo caller ID. Even when the screen is locked, you can see the date and time in a screen overlay. You can set the brightness, the backlight timer, and the font size. For dialing fonts, you can set the color as well.

Along the top of the screen are three icons, each of which corresponds to one of three customizable standby screens. You get one just for your favorite contacts, one for the home screen, and one for your favorite application shortcuts. All standby screens have four shortcut icons along the bottom, which correspond to the phone dialer, the contacts list, the messaging menu, and the main menu. The main menu interface is similar to the one on the Vu, with four tabs along the right to differentiate applications. You get one tab for Phone-related apps, one for Multimedia, one for My Stuff (which includes the media gallery plus productivity tools), and another for Settings.

For the favorite contacts screen, just follow the instructions to add a contact from your phone book. The contacts will then appear as small icons with the person’s name, phone number, and photo. You can have up to three pages of favorite contacts, and you can arrange them on the screen however you wish by dragging and dropping the icons, or you can align them with the grid. You can also fix the icons so they don’t change position with the screen orientation. As for the shortcuts screen, you can add up to nine shortcuts. To add and remove shortcuts, simply press and hold down on a shortcut icon.

The home screen is also customizable with a variety of widgets, similar to the TouchWiz interface on some Samsung phones. On the bottom left of the Xenon’s home screen is a little right arrow that opens up to reveal a tray of widgets. There are only six to choose from, though; there’s an analog clock, a world clock, the calendar, sticky notes, the image gallery, and the music player. To add a widget to the home screen, just drag and drop it on the page. You can then close the tray by pressing the little left arrow.

The LG Xenon also has a drop-down shortcuts menu it calls the “Annunciator.” Simply tap the top part of any screen, and a list of shortcuts will appear. You can go directly to the music player, toggle the Bluetooth connection on and off, set your ring and vibration profile, send a new text message, send a new mobile e-mail, check your voice mail, start the instant messenger for either Yahoo, AOL, or Windows Live, set your alarm clock, or view the calendar.

As with all touch-screen handsets, you use only your fingers (or a stylus if you have one) to navigate the interface. It felt quite intuitive, and we liked that there was haptic feedback to let us know when our touch has registered. There’s also Touch Calibration to ensure proper accuracy and responsiveness. Do note there’s a slight learning curve involved. When we first started using it, we occasionally had issues when scrolling through lists–sometimes we would accidentally select something by mistake. We did learn to deal with this eventually, though. Dialing numbers went pretty smoothly, because of the large numbers on the virtual keypad. There’s also a built-in internal accelerometer, but it only works with certain applications, like the Web browser–it would turn the screen orientation from portrait to landscape mode when tilted 90 degrees, for example.

Keyboard
he LG Xenon GR500 is a lightweight slider phone aimed at the texting generation. Unlike many sliders with a QWERTY keyboard, the Xenon is a full-blown touch-screen phone. It’s styled to look like a bulky RAZR imitator, complete with a small “chin” at the bottom. The Xenon also offers plenty of music, video, and Web browsing power. At $99 with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate, it’s tough to fault this handset for anyone looking for a compact messaging device. In turn, it’s our new Editors’ Choice for a feature phone on AT&T.

The Xenon is especially small for a horizontal slider. It weighs 3.8 ounces and measures 4.2 by 2.1 by 0.6 (HWD) inches. My test handset was finished in red (really more of a magenta) plastic with a chrome accent band around the sides. Blue and black versions are also available. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard felt cramped for what should have been a roomy horizontal layout. Part of that was due to the small keys, and part was due to symbol and function keys bracketing the letters on both sides. With a little practice, though, I could type fairly quickly, and the keys offered just the right amount of tactile feedback.

Battery
The Xenon has a 950 mAh Lithium Ion battery that’s user replaceable. For a 3G handset, the Xenon has good battery life and lasted us 2 days on a charge with light to moderate use. Using the GPS for trip navigation and streaming CV hit the battery the hardest, while music playback uses very little power when the screen is off. Claimed talk time is 4 hours and that was on target in our tests.

Features
The LG Xenon has a rather skimpy 500-entry phone book, with room in each entry for two phone numbers, an e-mail address, and a memo. You can assign contacts to caller groups, have a photo for caller ID, and one of 10 polyphonic ringtones or one of 10 message alert tones. Basic features include a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, a calendar, an alarm clock, a calculator, a voice recorder, voice command, a notepad, a world clock, a tasks list, a stopwatch, a tip calculator, and a unit converter.

More advanced users will like the stereo Bluetooth, instant messaging (with AIM, Yahoo, and Windows Live accounts), mobile e-mail, and A-GPS. The mobile e-mail is housed within a Web-based interface and will only support e-mail from certain accounts like Yahoo, AOL, AIM, Windows Live Hotmail, AT&T Yahoo, BellSouth, Comcast, Earthlink, Juno, Mindspring, and NetZero. We weren’t able to use Gmail, especially since the Xenon doesn’t support POP or IMAP. As for A-GPS, the Xenon comes with AT&T Navigator, AT&T’s turn-by-turn location-based service.

As with most touch-screen phones, we expect there to be a full HTML browser to make use of the larger screen real estate, and on that point, we’re not disappointed. We also like that you can open up multiple browser windows, which act like tabbed browsing. Like on a regular browser, you can change the font size, toggle pop-up windows, turn off images, and more. However, the Media Net browser on the Xenon proved to be clunkier than we would like. Even though it renders most pages just fine, it sometimes won’t load CSS designs properly and the page would look a little strange. You have to zoom in and out of pages using the little magnifying glass icon, which can be a bit tedious after a while, as there was often a lag. Also, because the screen is so small, you’ll have to scroll a lot more through pages. Thankfully, the arrows on the QWERTY keyboard make this easier.

Despite those minor gaffes, the Xenon is a stellar choice overall and our Editors’ Choice for a feature phone on AT&T. However, there’s plenty of competition among other categories in AT&T’s lineup. The iPhone 3G is an obvious shoo-in due to its touchscreen design and identical $99 up-front price, but it requires a more expensive data plan than the Xenon and lacks a hardware QWERTY keyboard. It’s superior in almost every other aspect, though. The $79 Nokia Surge is another smartphone-style option. It rings in at a slightly lower up-front price but costs $15 more per month, though it offers document editing and Exchange support while keeping the slide-out horizontal keyboard. Finally, camera buffs that don’t need QWERTY should head straight for the $179 Sony Ericsson C905a, with its excellent 8.1-megapixel camera and full array of Cyber-shot features.

The Good Bike Riding Courses Deal With Lots Of Things

The bike is rather complicated vehicle though it is much smaller than the car. There are lots of details and lots of things to know if you want to ride it. It will take several months to learn the road rules and how to ride. But the first thing you need to do is to find the proper bike courses. This is very important especially if you don’t have the relatives or friends who can help you. However, it is still wise to find the courses even if you have the experienced bike riders among your friends. Learning yourself or with the help of your friends is much cheaper than visiting the courses but the results might be very different. Certainly, you can learn riding with their help and study the rules yourself but there are lots of other things you need to know.

The most important point except for the process of riding is the security. The security measures are those you need to take in order to protect yourself against the injuries and scratches in case of the accident and some other to be taken in order to prevent your bike from stealing. These are much more difficult to find than those in case you are the car driver. The problem is that the security devices are rather big and it is often impossible to adjust them to the bike and move around freely. The special alarm and fastening systems are developed for the bikes. There are also stationary devices like the special places to park the bikes and fasten it with chains and the lock. Nevertheless, your own security is much more important than that of your bike.

The first question to take care of is the right equipment. It means that you need the proper helmet, the good tough clothes and boots. All of these things must not prevent you from maintaining equilibrium that’s why it would be better not to choose them too big and too heavy for you. This is the most common error women who ride the bike make. Unlike the previous decade and the one before that there are many more women riding a bike in the streets. You can see them both in the city and in the highway. The bike producers even make special models for women. There are several bikes of famous brands made especially for women. They are rather light and have the appropriate color spectrum.

The right clothes is the one that can protect you against the scratches and serious injuries when falling down. You need to stay alive in case of the accident and the right clothes can save your life as well as the helmet and other parts of the equipment.

Thus, the good bike riding courses will not only teach you how to ride but also provide you with lots of different information dealing with the bike world. Make the right choice and learn!

The First Steps To Perform In Order To Join The World Of Bike Riders

Riding is the great way to spend the time outside. Those bike riders who tried both riding a bike and driving a car claim that riding is much more fascinating and full of impressions. Riding your own bike in the empty highway is wonderful. This is the right way to feel the speed and the real freedom. This is the way to catch the wind and even surpass it. The world from the riding bike looks very differently. It has the special deep beauty you can never feel when going on foot or driving. The fastest run cannot be compared with the process of riding a bike.

The main condition you have to take into account in case you want to admire the process riding too is that the real freedom of riding is available to the experienced riders only. It is rather obvious as they don’t need to spend too much attention to the control over the vehicle and can both ride and watch around at the same time. You cannot see the beauty of the surrounding world if all your attention is concentrated on the levers of control, various buttons etc. There are lots of other interesting things around and it would be better to learn how to be able to ride and admire them simultaneously. It is not that difficult. The first step is visiting the bike riding courses.

The bike riding courses are the right place to learn how to ride a bike. Even if you have the friends or relatives who are the experienced riders, you will need to sign up with the bike riding courses as well. This will happen in any case if you want to become the real rider, get the appropriate license and purchase the bike. One more good advice is not to buy the bike until you have the rider’s license. It might happen that you dislike the process of riding while learning. If you buy the bike in advance, you will have to sell it and therefore spend some time and lose some money too. Thus, it would be better to learn all the necessary things at first and then buy the vehicle that suits you.

Choosing the right bike is rather difficult too. If you have someone who can advise you except for the retailer in the bike shops, it would be wise to take him with you. The sellers are willing to sell you the most expensive bike. But the most expensive one is not always the best one. Sometimes it would be better to spend less but get directly the set of functions you need, not more. When you become more experienced, you will be able to sell the vehicle you have and buy the bike you choose yourself according to your own requirements. Each bike has the definite peculiarities and it is essential to know what you are looking for.

The Kg800 Chocolate Gsm By Lg Phone

smartphone | Thursday April 22 2010 8:47 am | Comments (0) Tags:

They say that chocolate is better than cell phones, right? Well, maybe that isn’t the exact adage. Cell phone manufacturer LG must have misunderstood the old saying because they decided to combine the richness of chocolate with a mobile phone model.

This phone is highly fashionable with a mirror-like shine that screams “Fifth Avenue.” The sleek, black design of this sliding phone with its glowing red buttons works well as both a women’s accessory or a man’s toy. Its design has actually earned the LG KG800 Chocolate the 2006 IF Design Award in Germany. Good luck keeping fingerprints off it, though.

LG brings into the forefront a new keypad feature that uses conductivity, rather then pressing, to activate a button. This is great if you are super careful with your phone but metal objects and wet fingers, or even moistness in the pouch, can damage the sensors. The keypad deactivates when the phone is closed and when you have connected a call to avoid accidental rubbings against your cheek or inside pockets.

Slider phones are often mistaken for clam-style but not so with the Chocolate. The sliding mechanism locks when it is closed so there’s no grabbing the top half and yanking it open.

The only real problem with the keypad, save the moisture or metal sensitivity, is that the buttons are rather small. Ladies (or men) with dainty, small fingers won’t likely notice this but men (or women) with large fingers and hands most definitely will. The 1-2-3 buttons are difficult to press for large fingers as well, since the top slides up so it just uncovers this top row of buttons. Some users won’t notice, others will. Make sure you test drive it before you sign a contract.

Of course, if you are looking into picking up the LG KG800 Chocolate to use as a phone, in addition to a fashion accessory, then you’ll want to know about it’s functionality. The battery life is far less than LG advertises, but that’s to be expected with almost any mobile phone these days. LG claims 16 days standby but you’ll probably only see half of that. Charging the phone requires opening the phone, making it susceptible to damage.

You’ll be able to see a wide range of vivid colors on the Chocolate, more than many other fashionable phones. LG offers 262,000 colors compared to just 65,000 on other models. Corners are sharp and images do not suffer from cell-phone haziness.

The buttons and menus aren’t intuitive, even if you are familiar with LG devices. Expect to spend some serious time up to 4 hours fiddling around with the phone while reading the manual. For the first few days you might find it a bit cumbersome but you’ll probably catch on pretty quickly. Once you get it down and know how to use it, you will find the menus response time is very fast. This phone isn’t plagued with the slow menus of other phones on the market.

As for application features, there isn’t much new here. You’ll get the standard messaging, file browsing, games and a variety of included sounds. You can download more games, MP3s and other music files in addition to ringtones and menu sounds relatively simply. You will get email, a quality-sound MP3 player and a web browser in addition to Java, still photograph and video capture. The phone book holds up to 1000 contacts. The LG Chocolate is Bluetooth enabled.

The camera, now pretty standard in the cell phone aisle, is 1.3 megapixel with resolutions up to 1280×960 pixels. There is an integrated LED flash for snapping pictures in low light and a night mode that reduces noise. Use the 2x digital zoom whilst snapping photos or the 4x zoom to crop and resize your images once the photo session has ended. You can also choose from a few color modes, including black & white, negative and sepia. The biggest complaint about the camera mode there is a very noticeable delay between pressing the button and actually capturing the image.

Video capture is considerably better than taking still photos. Night mode works on video as do the color settings. The Chocolate also allows for 4x zoom while shooting video.

Music files must be in MP3, WMA or mPEG format so it takes a bit of work to load audio from your iPOD to your LG Chocolate. The sound quality is very good for a phone. Standard 3.5mm headphones aren’t compatible, though; you’ll need to either purchase a pair of 2.5mm headphones or an adapter. The FM radio, becoming a standard in the mobile phone industry, was oddly left out of the Chocolate’s applications package.

Installed memory is 128 megabytes. If that isn’t enough or you just like keeping your data separate from your phone, you can pick up a 2 gigabyte microSD card for about $100 (often bundled at Verizon for $70 after rebate.)

Synching to your computer or accessing email is effortless with the Chocolate. While other phones have intermittent access via Bluetooth, this LG phone has a solid connection. Check your email or surf the web from the café or Trump’s house.

Jet setters will be disappointed with the omission of airplane mode on this phone. Other LGs offer this new feature, it’s beyond me why it was overlooked when designing the Chocolate.

So, how did this black, not brown, phone earn its name Chocolate? In the Korean market, where this model was pioneered and debuted, the phone was made to smell of you guessed it chocolate. The name stuck as did the scented design. Apparently LG didn’t like the competition between cell phones and chocolate so they decided to double-team their potential customers by combining the two.

The LG KG800 Chocolate is a great phone for those on the cutting edge of fashion or those who want to be. Don’t abuse it and you can take calls from your agent for a long time while getting faint whiffs of delicious chocolate. Don’t eat your phone, though, it doesn’t taste as well as it smells.
