Today’s mobile phone user is a busy man, and he needs a multitasking-capable mobile handset to help him accomplish all the tasks lined up for his busy day. Thankfully mobile phones have evolved to the point where they can practically do that for you of their own volition. Where once all they could do was allow you to make and take calls from anywhere with a power source – already a monumental leap forward in the days of pagers and payphones – now mobile phones can allow you to basically have an office of sorts in your pocket, from the word processing needed to write a crucial proposal or email and the mobile mail service to send it with – and all while listening to your favorite music in the background.
This last feature is commonly overlooked by most mobile phone manufacturers racing to keep turning out sleek and stylish new office-based models, but not forgotten by those who are able to design mobile handsets to target multiple age and gender brackets. LG is one such mobile phone manufacturer, and one able to consider different looks for its mobile models despite establishing a quality standard all its own. To wit, their new LG dLite is an ultrafeminine phone with a unique look and interesting LED hidden matrix display, and one that brings 3G support, a 2.0-megapixel camera and great call quality to the table.
Clearly targeted toward the younger [or younger at heart] end of the age bracket range [specifically the feminine among them], the dLite is an utterly girly midrange phone that strikes a unique level with its one-of-a-kind look and good feature set. Giving its user the choice of a bright pink or pastel sky blue on the outside with creamy white interior paneling, the dLite follows up with a 4.3” long, 2.0” wide and 0.6” thick body that manages to feel very solid in hand despite its plastic construction. The dLite is so named partly for its unique hidden LED matrix display and its “Secret Lighting” display of four LEDs that light up the clear plastic along the phone’s edge.
The display is fairly sizeable, with 2.8” to its real estate and 240×400 resolution that displays 262,144 colors, all of which makes for vibrant images and crisp displays. This all makes for a perfect stage to display its unique interface, with icons and themes that seem custom made for this release with an altogether one-of-a-kind aesthetic that follows along the lines set by the phone’s design.
The dLite’s distinguishing feature set includes its “Motion Mute” etiquette pause that uses an internal accelerometer to silence incoming calls or alerts when the phone is turned upside down. There’s also a 1000-entry phonebook, a number of polyphonic ringtones that come standard with the phone and can be replaced with MP3 format ringtones of your own. The LED matrix animations and Secret Lighting patterns can be changed to any one from a lineup to add to the phone’s visual appeal. There’s also voice command, stereo Bluetooth, the Web2go mobile Web browser and threaded text messaging, along with a host of other features like GPS, email [AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Gmail, or your own POP3/IMAP4 email], and the excellent Social Buzz feature. Rounding out the multimedia features are a 2.0-megapixel camera and a music player that is supplemented by a YouTube application. Actual call quality is excellent, with received and sent voice coming across crystal clear.
