Stylus

The LG Incite is the latest buzz in the Windows Mobile space. This WinMo 6.1 device is spec heavy with a 3MP autofocus camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, accelerometer, a sharp and outdoor visible display, a Qualcomm 528MHz CPU and an FM radio.

One of the reasons this phone has been getting so much press is that the touch screen is haptic, providing for a more human feel to the screen. Another reasons is that the phone has a proximity sensor, which is heavily guarded technology that Apple patents, which few other phones utilize. Also among the features, the phone uses a light sensor that helps modify lighting on the fly.


Side view

Here are some quick benefits that this device offers:

  • Hardware-based scroll wheel (no d-pad).
  • LG incite custom home screen and launcher.
  • XT9 interpretive text support.
  • Excellent phone call quality.
  • Great email support: POP3, IMAP, Exchange and MS Direct Push email.
  • Threaded SMS.
  • Fast GPS response.
  • Fast focus times.

    • Comparison shot

    Here are some weaknesses with the LG Incite:

  • SureType keypad system rather than the standard smartphone QWERTY
  • Small “send” and “end” buttons make for a slight awkward feeling.
  • Camera button and screen lock key.
  • No Start menu key.

    • The LG Incite will cost $199 on a 2 year contract after a $100 rebate. If you’re looking to pick up this device without a contract, you’re looking at $499.
