Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This phone disappointed me. I had used iPhone/iPod touch and Droid phones and found the LG GX500's touch screen to be inferior -- it's less sensitive, sluggish, and doesn't respond as well to fingers. The included stylus works fine, but the lack of a Palm-style, built-in sheath for the stylus is a drag. Instead, LG opted for a dangling holder that looks like an eye pencil. Once the touch is registered by the phone, the response time is slow, i.e. the icon you've clicked takes too long to act, making this sequence annoyingly frequent: you tap on, for example, the phonebook icon. It doesn't respond immediately. You tap again. Your first tap takes effect -- the phonebook opens -- and the second one does, too -- you have now selected a name in the phonebook. You have to select back to "undo" the unwanted second action.
The handwriting feature is nice, but again it is too slow and way inferior to what the Palm Pilot offered a decade ago.
I never got around to trying out the cameras, the music player, or any of the pretty large selection of apps included.
I don't think it's worth the price, given superior tech available. No way is this an "iPhone killer" (which is, IMO, tiresome -- just get an iPhone if it, being so good, needs to constantly be killed!) -- for those needing a touchscreen, no phone in my experience even comes close to the feel, action, sensitivity, response and accuracy of Apple's touch technology.
