In order to connect to cellular networks,The LG Pop Is A Great Social Networking Device Articles the LG GD510 Pop relies on class 12 versions of both EDGE & GPRS. Bluetooth version 2.1 offers users the chance to connect to other compatible handset in the same vicinity in order to carry out tasks such as sharing music files or contact info. A micro USB connection also means that files can be shared, and contact info backed up on a computer, along with several other tasks.

 

Most common formats of both music and video files are supported by the internal media player. A stereo FM radio player and a range of pre-installed games add to the entertainment features. MP3 music files can be used as ringtones, so users can customise the handset to some extent. Handsfree communication is made possible thanks to a built in speakerphone. Social networkers are well catered for with dedicated applications offering direct access to sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace so users can stay connected to friends and family on the move. An organiser, voice memo recorder and T9 all add to the everyday functionality of the LG GD510 Pop.

 

The TFT resistive touch screen measures 3 inches and boasts excellent display quality as well as a dynamic, interactive method of navigating the user interface. This is thanks to the ability to display 256,000 colours within a pixel layout of 240x400 pixels.

 

Up to 1000 entries can be stored in the internal phonebook. This also features Photocall, which allows a photo to be assigned to each contact, and this is then displayed each time that person calls. 42 MB of internal memory is provided for storage of data such as music tracks. However, further storage can be obtained, up to 16 GB simply by installing a larger memory card into the micro SD slot.  This should be sufficient for the needs of most users to store a large number of music tracks or video clips.

 

The LG GD510 Pop has a built in camera which has 3.15 mega pixels.  This operates at a pixel resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, so it is capable of taking reasonably high quality still images. It can also shoot video in QVGA quality at 15 frames per second, offering a fun alternative method of image capture.

The compact LG Pop is an ideal handset for most demographics of mobile phone users. Its small size does not mean a lack of functionality, and its popularity looks set to continue.
