LG Lollipop GD580

Overview

Nice Phone

LG Lollipop GD580 Design and Build Quality

The colourful LG GD580 Lollipop can be found in pink and blue colors. It is a clam style flip phone made out of a plastic body. The build quality is about average for a body style in this form factor.

User Interface and Comfort to Use LG Lollipop GD580

An easy to use LG proprietary interface makes the Lollipop functional for just about everyone. You can navigate the device using one hand. The Lollipop will fit comfortably into your pockets.

Telephony and Phonebook

The phonebook is capable of storing up to 1000 contacts and adding pictures to their profile.

Messaging and Emails

All communication means are available on the cookie, whether you want to send a text, multimedia, or set up your email. Because the Cookie doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard, you will have to deal with T9 texting and emailing. This will slow you down.

Gallery, Photo Viewer and Video Player

The gallery will allow you to view, delete, and save your pictures. A video player enables you to watch MP4, H.263, H.264, and WMV files right on the screen of your device. The small 2.8 inch and low resolution will not give you the best viewing experience.

LG Lollipop GD580 Music Player and FM Radio

A music player is capable of playing MP3, WAV, WMA, and AAC+ files. The sound quality is fairly good, with sounds coming out clear. Unfortunately, LG left out a 3.5mm headphone jack which probably would have improved the audio experience. There is almost no storage space on the device, so you will need to expand the memory via a microSD card. You can add up to an 8 GB memory card. An FM radio will allow you to listen to local radio stations.

LG Lollipop GD580 Camera and Image Quality

A 3.2 MP camera is capable of outputting 2048x1536 pixel resolution shots. There is also a bonus front-facing camera.

Video Camera and Video Quality

There is a video camera that will allow your Cookie to take low quality video.

LG Lollipop GD580 Connectivity Options

The Cookie can connect to a 2G GSM network on 900, 1800, and 1900 bands. In addition, HSDPA 2100 is also supported. If you want to transfer pictures or other files, you can take advantage of Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 support.

Organizer and other Utility Tools

Utility tools included on the Cookie include a calendar, alarm, office 2003, PDF, to-do, document viewer, and calculator.

Web Browser and Applications

There is an internet browser that allows you to hop on the internet.

Google Maps and GPS

A GPS feature is not available on the Cookie.

Verdict

This is a nice phone for the average person who wants a phone that has a solid battery life and call quality. There are some nice additional features like the FM radio, internet access, and music player that will give you options.
