Designers must love working for the LG GD series. It’s the place to get some bizarre and exotic features – from transparent keypads to a wristwatch. The LG GD880 Mini is perhaps among the more mainstream options but it’s no less keen to impress. LG have been distilling the touch phone again and again and the Mini is their latest and seemingly most mature effort.
LG CEO says the Mini was designed in response to consumer requests. Reportedly, people wanted a phone that’s not too big, too expensive or too complicated. Well, ladies and gentlemen, here’s what you ordered, meet the Mini.
You might be wondering what’s with the “Mini” moniker. In all honesty, the Mini is small compared to the LG BL40 New Chocolate but it’s not a tiny phone. For all we know, it’s neat and compact, a sophisticated and feature-rich LG Pop really.
The LG GD880 Mini distances itself from the current smartphone craze and sticks to LG own S-Class OS. Every element of the interface is carefully and artfully designed, with shading and gloss, with rich and vibrant colors that look great on the pixel-dense screen. The homescreen is trying to mimic the Android depth of field and the GD880 Mini features full multitasking.
Alright then, it’s a complete feature set on the LG GD880 Mini. The best screen resolution around, DivX/XviD support and Dolby mobile make for a great multimedia experience, the web browser handles Flash and pinch-zooming and there’s a document viewer to top it off.
What we’ve got here is a nicely working LG Mini, but you should keep in mind it’s a pre-release sample we’re dealing with here so chances are the design and software may undergo some changes before final release.
Now that we’ve taken that off our chest, flip to the next page for the scheduled hardware inspection of the LG GD880 Mini.
Bought this phone on amazon to use in Trinidad on Digicel network. Its potentially a great little phone but it seems that LG screwed up with this. I cant find any apps (specific for it) nor can i log in to the Air Sync. I wish i could do more with it...
I've been using this phone for 3 weeks and i haven got any major problems. I really love the auto focus and the edit function. And the secondary camera is really useful. Apart from that i would like people using this phone to try this app called bubb...
Buyer Beware - I bought this phone two months ago and have only used it for a week because I've been having constant problems with it. Two main issues: 1. phone gets uncomfortably hot (esp since the earpiece is metallic) and 2. software hangs. Brough...
