Why can you only zoom in with the camera if you set the pic size to 1megapixel or less? Seems very strange

A battery which has the capacity of only 900mAh? For real? It should be at least 1200mAh, no excuses here.

I have had this phone for over a week and i am really disapointed with the push email service that LG claim it has. In order to use the push email service the user has to open the application up every time to view their emails, which totaly defeats the objective of having a push email feature on the phone.
Touch screen is also very Temperamental. Frankly to be honest the phone is a failure and i shall be returning my one soon.

Try it in a shop
Touch need a little bit pressure but same as other old touch phone. And it include a touching pen, not very big problem.
But the battery life I can't test.
Some review say need to charge within 1 day.
Any holder please tell us how long it can standby if only use as a telephone?

Evening all. I recently got a HTC Wildfire on contract, but wasn't massively impressed with it, so I decided to sell it and get something a bit cheaper. With a friend's wedding coming up, I wanted something with a decent camera. With that in mind, and a budget of £100, it was a toss up between the Sony Ericsson Elm, Samsung S5560, and the Viewty Snap. I must say, a week later, I'm not disappointed.
The camera is superb, as is the mp3 player (which I am using with my gourmet Sony earphones), and for £79 I really don't think you can't go wrong. I got mine from Carphone Warehouse, who are currently offering a discount on memory cards when purchased with a phone. So I was offered a 4gb memory card for £10.99, an offer that I was happy to take advantage of.
I'll be honest, the phone isn't perfect. Although in general, I am very happy with it, the only areas which I feel let it down are the internet and the casing. No 3G or wi-fi make the download speeds pretty average, so I wouldn't advise you to consider this handset if you're a prolific downloader. having said that, it's perfectly adequate for browsing facebook, BBC sports, hotmail and so on. Couple this with the fact that Opera 5 is pre-installed, and most casual browsers will be fine.
The other niggling issue that worries me slightly is the chrome-effect plastic trim adorning the edges, and the top and bottom of the phone. Although mine hasn't shown any marks yet, I'm pretty confident that this would scratch very easily, particularly if you chucked it in a bag, or kept it in the same pocket as your house keys, or loose change. So if like me, you're slightly anal about scratches, I would definitely recommend getting hold of a nice soft case.
Overall however, I'm very happy. The touch screen, despite being resistive, is very responsive, and texting is absolutely fine. I listen to music all day at work, although I do have the USB cable plugged into my work PC to keep the battery going. Call quality is second to none, and the handset looks and feels great in your hand. I have seen a few negative reviews, but in all fairness, I can't agree that they're justified at all. Just keep in mind that the people who usually review this phone are probably used to using iPhones and other upmarket handsets. If you're used to budget and mass market phones, believe me, you won't be disappointed.
