LG GM750
By William | Reporter Date: 01/12/2010
LG GM750 is one of the manufacturer's first Windows
Mobile 6.5 smartphones. It has a compact size (109.8 x 53.5
x 12.9 mm), utilizes the S-CLASS 3D interface and sports an
accelerometer, Wi-Fi and GPS.

It fully loaded with fun, easy-to-use features and services
that help people take control of their lives thanks to fast
internet browsing, access to personal and work email
accounts and calendar synchronisation, the GM750 packs a lot
into its sleek, slim form.
With LGs S-Class user-interface and fast internet browsing
via Vodafones high-speed mobile broadband network or WiFi,
information is always at the users fingertips. Its large
3.0" full touchscreen makes it easy to navigate while
browsing the internet, writing text messages and memos, or
getting directions with its in-built GPS navigation
function.
The intuitive user-interface on Windows Mobile 6.5 is easily
customisable so Vodafone customers can personalise their
phone to their own particular style. Using 3rd party
applications, customers can change the look and feel with a
personal background or designer themes and personalise the
home screen so the information they need, such as weather
reports, the latest traffic information or stock prices, is
always easy to find. Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync email
ensures you never need miss an email again, be it from your
personal or work account. As one of a new generation of
Windows phones, the LG GM750 Smartphone is poised to take
advantage of future Vodafone services.
In addition to internet and email connectivity, consumers
will be able to download applications directly to their
phone via Windows Marketplace for Mobile, automatically back
up and synch photos, music and texts to their PC using the
free My Phone service, plus use Windows Live to check
Hotmail or IM with friends on the PC or Xbox video game
system. With a 5 megapixel camera as well, with the LG GM750
customers will have all the tools, features and widgets
theyll need to get the most fun from life, and never miss or
forget a special moment.
The buttons on the front side got us slightly puzzled. At
least at first sight, they look like standard,
touch-sensitive send and end keys and another one that you
use to confirm selection (i.e. Enter). The latter also
functions as an optical pad, so you can use it as a D-Pad or
mouse cursor. What we are surprised at, however, is that the
send and end keys can also be used as functional buttons -
they get assigned functions that appear at the bottom of the
screen, even when you get an incoming call. This is rather
confusing really, so we hope the issue affects just our
prototype and not the retail units.
The volume rocker is on the left hand side, while the camera
shutter, multitasking button and microSDHC slot are on the
opposite. The LG GM750 doesn’t feature 3.5mm jack, but comes
with standard microUSB port.
As a whole, the phone looks pretty cool, something typical
of all devices of the manufacturer.
