LG, like its Korean competitor Samsung, has been an enthusiastic adopter of touchscreen technology for its smartphones. As well as manufacturing touchscreen handsets based around its own OS it has also snuggled up to Microsoft on quite a few occasions to kit its gadgets out with Redmond’s Windows Mobile 6.5 OS (WinMo 6.5). It is not surprising to find that the LG GM750 is among the first batch of handsets to run Microsoft’s new Windows Phone offering.
Hardware buttons are limited, with most functions carried out via the 3-inch touchscreen display, which is similarly to most LG Handsets. It comes with WQVGA resolution and just does not deliver the impressive images that WVGA models do. It is bright and easy to see in most conditions, but it fails to stand out in any way. The display itself is a resistive panel and is frustratingly unresponsive. There is also a small optical pad, which works well and let the user swipe a finger to navigate the interface.
The onscreen keyboard is infuriatingly inaccurate to use. Presses of the screen have to be particularly firm otherwise the user’s touch will not register. As a result, it is very difficult to strike up a fast typing rhythm. Moreover, the text correction software was quite poor, compounding the issue.
