The LG GM750 is a remake of the original LG GM730, by upgrading the hardware slightly and by using a new OS, LG offers the public what is pretty much the same device. This is actually good. The GM730 is a decent mobile phone with practical features. The updated GM750 offers what could be considered as the same, though the GM750 could have used more updates, particularly a physical keyboard.
The LG GM750 uses the new Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional operating system; it’s a step over the old 6.1 on the GM730, though the GM730’s 6.1 OS can be upgraded. New in version 6.5 of WinMo is the application store. Dubbed as the Marketplace, this new app store finally providers Windows Mobile users the ability to purchase and download applications on their mobile phones. Applications are important because users can choose specifically which software features they would like to have on their device.
The Spec Sheet:
The GM750 specifications are not incredibly special, as most are pretty standard fare for today’s average 3G smart phone. The camera, at 5 mega pixels still shines (with the average smart phone still using 3 to 3.2 megapixel cameras). It also helps that the device has flash and autofocus, which makes using the camera all the more easier.
The LG GM750 has a very simple design, with the touch screen occupying most of the front of the device, the sides are curved slightly which helps when gripping the phone.
The LG GM750 has excellent media playback capabilities thanks to the Windows Mobile media player and the FM radio. Supported uncommon file formats include H.263 and H.264 video as well as AAC+ and WMA audio formats.
Deals and Contracts
GM750 contracts are currently available with Vodafone until December. This exclusivity means that the device can only be purchased through retail SIM-free. Vodafone is offering the LG GM750 for free on several plans.
