Fully fluent in multimedia, the LG GD510 plays music and movies in several popular file formats. An easy-to-use browser brings all the best mobile content to the devices large screen and a 3.0 megapixel camera captures high quality photos and videos for sharing online or sending wirelessly to friends. The spacious 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen extends almost to the edges of the LG GD510 with a narrow 4.8 mm bezel giving the illusion of an uninterrupted sheet of glass. The units sleek design is accented by a single button on the face that functions as the menu, end and cancel keys, depending on the phones mode. A slim strip of light around the button shines either green or red to indicate the handsets function. The LG GD510 is crafted from brushed aluminum which gives it a high-end look and feels solid in the hand even when squeezed.

Smallest 3 inch touchscreen out there. Operating system is simple and not to much customization is allowed- no apps just a small set of widgets. OK Facebook, Twitter and MySpace funtionality. My biggest problem with the set is no 3.5 mm jack- you have to use micro USB headsets instead. You can buy an adapter. 3 homescreens- first is widget screen second is “livesquare” screen, and the 3rd is contacts. The “Livesquare” screen is strange- its a visual representation of you communication log (voice, email, messnger) that is supposed to make tracking ongoing conversations and communications easier. Seemed easier for me to ignore, but really haven’t spent much time trying to understand its functionality.
Music interface is usable, but not great, and videos are played through the file manager. Not very sophisticated. That said, had no problem playing MP4s which look very good on the screen. Controls are easy and intuative.
Excellent build quality- solid phone feel.
Conclusion- I guess you’d call it an ultra-compact touch screen feature phone. Good if portability is your primary concern. I load it with an 8gb SD with music and movies when I don’t want to carry a smartphone. Also cheap enough that loss or damage of the Pop won’t be too upsetting.
