Hi all,
I don't know why, this forum is being used for comparative studies of other models, on the contrary this forum is exclusively for the use of LG GM200 mobile,
phone, its characteristics, user interface, and other technical studies. Hence please refrain from comparing this with other models, Gm 200 is purely a music phone for music lovers, I do hope all gm200 user will agree.
and exchange views on this model only.
cheers!

Nevin and another guy convince... moreThe way you have expressed your "bad decision" in buying this phone based on "recommendations" is not acceptable for the simple reason that you have not explained the drawbacks of this phone vis a vis anyother. One should definitely weigh the comments or reviews of a particular model before taking a decision. Any mobile phone will have its drawbacks compared to anyother. You dont get all features foolproof in one mobile phone within a price range.
My friend I am a user of sonyericsson g502 and this phone.Sony ericsson g 502 is basically an HSDPA phone hence good for internet users. But mind you it has one drawback , constant restart problem, which to my knowledge is yet to be sorted out. I too have questioned lggm200 capabilities in comparision to samsung s 3310. What we have to accept is each model has its own strengths and weaknesses. Mr friend you tell me which mobile phone has only positive reviews.

Nevin and another guy convince... moreI'm sorry for you that this phone did'nt please you. But still the choice was all yours and nobody has compelled you to buy this phone.
Everything posted here by me is purely based on facts and my personal experience. And I did not hide anything from anyone. Both the pros n cons have been discussed here. If this phone does not perform according to your expectations, it is only because you expect more from it without taking into consideration the limitations which has also been discussed here.
I have just answered your queries but I have not forced or convinced you or anyone else to buy this phone. But still I'll be glad to discuss your issues with others and possibly find a solution for it.
And I would also like to know what statement of mine did make others a fool.

Cannot agree more with what Nevin and Mr. Anonymous have to say in reply to Mr. Truth's Query. The S3310 is no match to the GM200!
Now coming to ma experience with the The LG ASC, Belgaum Karnataka, today. I Had problem with ma headsets since yesterday as i was unable to get hear the music to its fullest and even the track was getting slower. I jus dropped into the ASC today told them the problem and zapak i was given a brand new headsets without an iota of tantrums. I also enquired about ny new updates for the GM200, they said they will let me know as nd wen they get it...
Some news to be happy i guess.

About the excessive talking thing... well you wont be able to do any excessive talking on s3310 as the battery capacity is too low and the phone uses up too much power quickly.
Only thing s3310 have over gm2000 is a larger and better screen, better video capture, memory expansion.
Installing apps on s3310 is a pain in the @$$. On gm200 its a lot easier... not as flexible as comparable Nokias/SE(as they both belong to a completely different league in terms of java app support) but its still a lot better samsung phones.

Be warned that resetting the phone may lose all data on your phone. So better make a backup of your contacts before planning to do so...

TRUTH, 27 Feb 2010looking for mobiles with features and similar price, i had ... moreI've been wanting to make a comparison of S3310 with my GM200 and you have give me an excuse to do so..
First of all, GM200 is far superior to S3100 in most aspects apart from a few things here and there.
So let me just point out the advantages that GM200 has over S3310.
GM200 is a dedicated music phone with a 3.5mm jack. So more flexibility to upgrade to any sort of earphones.
S3310 has an 800mAh battery while GM200 has a 1100mAh battery. It is a big difference as the S3310 needs to be charged daily with moderate usage.
The audio quality of GM200 is definitely better than S3310 with audio quality much better than most low end walkman phones and second only to the Nokia 5130. But the Dolby mobile is a feature unique to this phone.
About games and application
The only way you can install Games and apps is via wap. So unless you have a GPRS connection, you can't do anything about it. It is not possible to transfer jar files from PC and install it directly.
In addition to that, the application size is limited to a maximum of 500kb. I have installed dictionary on my GM200 without any problem and the size is 1.7mb.
I have compared the camera quality with the higher model S3500 and found that the pics viewed in PC looks a bit more realistic in my GM200 with better white balance though the S3500 has better colour saturation. So I have to conclude that both are neck to neck..
Then there is the 2.1Ch speakers and the woofer which is a definite advantage if you use the speakers a lot. You don't get that in any other phones in this price range especially the S3310.
The S3310 sure looks stylish but featurewise, it doesn't even come close. I am wiriting this from the perspective of a full on music fanatic. So my opinions are purely subjective and according to me GM200 is definitely better than S3310.

looking for mobiles with features and similar price, i had to take a decision between lggm200 and samsung s 3310. i went for lggm200. now on reading reviews of both i wonder whether my decision was wrong. reviews of samsung s 3310 give an impression not only for the camera quality, the music/battery power it seems is not bad either.besides extensive talk doesnt heat up the mobile, which is also perhaps a bad feature of lggm200.
any comments experts?
