LG GS290 Cooki Fresh offers a screen touch proper resistive and a simple interface. This makes it easy and fun to use. If it is clearly not in the course of smartphones offers report a good quality-price. The LG GS290 Cookie Fresh is fine and takes a black finish mat (it is also available with pink, blue or white colours) that we had appreciated on the Cookie KP500. Despite its small size, this phone offers a 7.6 cm (3 inch) diagonal touch screen. It retains the three buttons at the bottom of the screen already present on its predecessor. It’s appeal to hang up and access to the menu buttons.
Back, you will find a camera 2 megapixels. On the sides, there are buttons to control volume, activate and lock the handset. There is also a slot for a microSD card and a micro-USB port for connecting the phone to the PC.
We were surprised by the quality of the phone display. In this price range, we did not expect much but there, the screen is clear and bright. It displays images in 240 x 400 pixels, and the texts are readable. Overall, and in view of its price, it is a good phone.
Its interface is interesting but it often takes to there resume to several times when dragging items. The fault to a screen type resistive rather than capacitive. We really need support on the screen so that a motion be taken into account. Moreover, as the screen is rather small, it supports often on the wrong icon.
The phone has three home screens. One for your most frequently used widgets, and can be customized with a few drag and drop from a menu widget. However, note that you cannot download more applications or widgets. If you use Facebook, you will be satisfied. On the other hand, those who use Twitter be disappointed in the absence of the application.
Then there is the “livesquare” screen that displays avatars representing your contacts. This screen allows you to quickly contact them by e-mail, by phone or text. You can also assign avatars to your contacts. They have the form of small animals and they are quite cute for splitting the frozen heart of journalist high-tech…
Finally, there is a screen with a conventional keypad to call a contact or a number.
By pressing the menu button, it displays a full menu that instead on a chessboard. There are 16 thumbnails, square icons sorted by categories, such as communication, entertainment, services and settings. Scroll to the right reveals 16 more. The use of the touch screen is there very delicate both the difference between the icons is narrow. It displays bad options or often clicked the wrong icon.
One thing that we had impressed on the LG GS290 Cookie Fresh, it is how you can use the shortcut button to manage multitasking. For example, if you start the calendar, support on this key, you will launch at the same time of new applications and widgets. It is a simple but effective way to do several things at a time. This is particularly useful if you want to listen to music while typing an SMS.
Text entry is facilitated by the decision of LG to opt for a typical alphanumeric keyboard instead of stuck a virtual QWERTY keyboard on the small screen resistive trying.
Another strong point: the presence of “haptic” technology which vibrates the phone to each action. This may divert but it is ultimately very practical for navigate navigation.
From her eldest, the LG GS290 Cookie Fresh has an AFN of lower quality with 2 million pixels sensor. In the end, the photos remain modest and it is only useful for taking a few shots at the moment. Same thing for the video. Given the price, the absence of a Flash is not surprising.
The audio quality is good in the calls, and the keys of volume on the side of the handset are a real help. In contrast, the connectivity of the phone is rather disappointing because it must confine itself to the network EDGE. Step 3 G or Wi – Fi so. On the side of autonomy, count a few days of autonomy. It is in the lineage of the smartphones of today.
For the price, the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is a correct device even if it will not shadow to best smartphones of the moment. We however appreciated the quality of its screen, simply one of the best on an entry-level device. We have a few criticisms to make on the interface of the device but the whole is well designed and it will not disappoint.
LG GS290 Cookie Fresh offers a screen touch proper resistive and a simple interface. This makes it easy and fun to use. If it is clearly not in the course of smartphones offers report a good quality-price.
