Description

LG Optimus GT540 is LG's second Android phone. It attracts the attention with its design – with very round edges and metal like trim around the corners. The controls are a combination of two touch sensitive buttons (back and menu), while the home, call and end are regular ones. Specs-wise, there is not a lot to talk about – 3 mega-pixel camera, video player with DivX support and microSDHC card slot.

This device is also known as LG Swift, LG GT540

Cons

The touchscreen uses resistive technology, which is not responsive
Thick body (0.50 inches)
