LG Optimus One P500 review: One and a half

06 December 2010
The LG Optimus One may not be your average killer gadget, but it sports a tempting pricetag, solid build, a nice looking set of features and Android 2.2 Froyo. And with the Optimus One in your hand, you are free to mock and tease those...

            Hello,

            After reading very good reviews (where many suggested LG Optimus One P500 over Samsung Ace or Samsung Fit), I finally bought LG Optimus one P500. But I am really disappointed. My old phone was Sony W200i which is not a smart phone and lower end phone but seems the basic features which it has not present in this higher range smart phone.

            The basic feature to organise yourself with phone is calendar & ToDo list. I saw that I can't configure calendar till I go online. The only option is I use Google calendar/Microsoft Exchange calendar but can't have offline calender to add my appointments. I also didn't see any application to manage my task list/todo list. Once i get GPRS activated, I may able to download some good application but these are basic applications and I changed my existing mobile only to organise better with more capacity(current mobile has limit of 10 todo list)

            I also missed profile feature. At different location, I need different ringtone volume,vibration settings etc. I could set different profile like Home,Office,In Car etc. with my old phone but don't have that option in this smart phone.

            Also when i use my SIM with this phone, i transfered all contact to phone memory (as i have more space there) but now i have duplicate contact in search (same contact in phone memory & on SIM) and I don't have option to delete all SIm contacts. There is an option to delete multiple contact but that means I have to select all 200+ contacts one by one and then delete them from SIM. Also with Sony W200i, I could see what is there in SIM memory and what is there on Phone memory but with this phone i just have memory available details in SIM and PHone memory and no other details. How do I copy other files to SIM and then use it in my another mobile? very strange that I expect some more powerful feature with smartphone, its actually giving me lesser features.

            I see lots of preloaded apps but most of are useless for me except wapedia. Not even single game loaded and will have to download when I have GPRS. Lots of app related to navigations like navigate,Ndrive,Car Home tc but what's the use when i don't have basic app like todo and "code memo" (which I used to store all passwords in encrypted format in old mobile)

            Anyway, presently i am just enjoying touch screen with my first touchscreen mobile.

                    hi guys,
                    i was anxiously awaiting for the Sony Ericsson w8, but when i found that the fone doesnt offer equaliser n megabass, i hav made my mind to switch for a different fone.

                    So, do suggest me a fone at rs 10000 with superb music, descent camera n video, good battery life and touch screen. I also need good gaming experience and internet in it .

                    Will optimus one perform good? I hav found dat its music is average.
                    So how is its music after playing it with poweramp?
                    If its not amazing then do suggest me any other fone with good music + features of LG Optimus

                    I want awesome music in my next phone.
                    So do suggest me. Plz plz

                                      bought this awesome gadget at rs. 8,500 delhi. latest price. go for it. wildfire, wildfire s and samsung mid range android phones are no better than lg optimus one except samsung ace. wildfire is way too costly not to mention poor camera. so better guys save some bucks and buy other things like bluetooth headphones or good quality stereo headphones.
