LG Incite with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional

Ok, let's take a look at Settings. In this panel, we'll cover Buttons, Clock Style & Weather, Gesture, Phone and something in Sounds & Notifications. Notice that the Incite comes with MS Voice Command, which is great.

We only have two programmable hardware keys.

We can adjust the style of clock for the Today screen.

Or, we can choose to have two clocks instead of one. Good for if you're traveling.

If we go over to the Weather tab, we can specify details on the weather application in the Today screen.

Gesture is flick scrolling, and you can adjust the sensitivity. I'd recommend leaving it on the default setting out the box, because changing the setting made the flick scrolling act strangely.

Here we can choose from a variety of color schemes.

And there are many items for the Today screen we can check off. The clock item, called LGDateTime, and the icon item, cannot be moved up or down.

Here we can specify the duration of vibrations when you tap the screen.

You can set the dialpad in the phone application to make various sounds. I left it on voice...so that when you press 2, it says "two.."

Here is the System part of the Settings. We will cover the Backlight, LG X Button, Memory, Sensor, and Video Share.

Even at max brightness, as you saw in page 2, the screen on the Incite isn't as bright as the Omnia.

You can have the X button close the application rather than hibernate it and keep it in program memory. You should keep this on, because the Incite doesn't have much program memory to begin with.

Speaking of memory, this is what we're working with - just 78MB of user-accessible program RAM. This definitely impacts performance negatively, and affects the extent to which you can multitask.

In the Sensor item, you can turn on an off the three sensors. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the sensitivity and behavior of the accelerometer or proximity sensor.

This device includes Video Share, which is AT&T's one-way live video streaming service. It's an extra fee to use.

And finally, here we are in the Connections tab.

This is what the Communications manager looks like.

This video shows some software features that I've written about so far in this review.

CAMERA

Here is a shot of a close up bright red flower. If you click on the image for the original, you'll see that the flower really isn't in focus.

Without a flash, low-light pictures come out noisy.

And here is an outdoor shot of a snow scene - the LG Incite had trouble with this and gave an ugly gray haze over the entire scene.

Click on to the next page as we wrap up the review with a note on performance, battery life, and talk about all the Pros and Cons of the LG Incite.
