LG GT500 Puccini - User Reviews

  • how much was the phone then?

  • can u tell me plz skype use on this phn

  • Quite good but does not support whatsapp

  • It's a pretty decent phone, actually more than decent. I didn't have alot of money and I had very few choices. The batery is decent,you can listen to music about a day or so. Bugs?I didn't encountered any,but eventually every device have some flaws. I didn't like the fact that it's about 3 hours of batery when you talk but apart from that, a very nice phone I recommend either this or Samsung Galaxy Y S5360(which is around the same price but with with worse camera but better batery and memory)

  • Lg gt500 is not so bad.Its price is low.But it doesnt support themes on phone.Its battery life is incomparable. You can do almost everything if you are a better user.its camera is better in night.To upload your photo on Facebook please use opera mini version 6 or 5.1 . Sound quality is awesome.to know more please inform me at Facebook.com/sadhu.baabaa

  • Yes, you can chat and write on the wall of Facebook .

  • hae how long does the battery last for ive never had a touchphone before and want a phone that has a reasonable battery life :)

  • wery good phone

  • I think it is a great phone. never had a problem with it. has great camera, and flash. also auto focus well with tons of options for picture taking. The touchscreen keyboard is sometimes annoying to use. Gps is good, and fm transmitter as well. over all 9/10

  • Hi, It's OS: normal JAVA based.

  • The phone is great by his specifications but the touch screen is not like on iPhone. I would say its 6 out of 10 so its not so great.

  • Hi everyone. I have to share my experience with GT500. First of all, it have i very high touch design. The features ares good. But the poor of it it was the performance. Ok i begin 1 - The radio, doesn't work so ok, it captures the stations 10, 20 point after. I had my station 99.2 and in the phone i have to got it on the 100.4. 2 - The wireless disconnect all the time. I make searchs on google and after displaing the page the wireless goes down. 3 - The camera have a very high quality. But if i want to zoom the picture. I need before to downgrade de quality image to can zoom. 4 - The T9. Very poor, he suggest words, till now ok. Imagine the phone have the word "Olaias". And you are typing "Oi" and type space it write the suggested word: "Olaias". To add words in the dictionoary it's sucks so. 5 - The GPS only work with internet connection, and no GPS programs working to. 6 - The battery level only update when the level was down. How like, i was 4 days using it, and the battery level was 100% and i think, JESUS, i was 2 days listening musing in the bus, i was playing games, 100%??? Fantastic!!!! Ok Murphy Law: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" the battery begin to sign low battery that moment and 5 minutes after no more power. People, i was very disgustted, for my chance i bought it unlocked in a FNAC. And they returned my money. I hope to help.

  • What about:GT505??

  • this is the best phone ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-d :-d :-d

  • These is one of the best Lg-s. it is fast, good camera, good sound!!!!!!

  • The 5530 is the best....I have it and it's perfect.

  • i'm planning to buy a phone and i have narrowed it down to lg gt505, samsung monte,samsung star samsung corby pro and nokia 5530? what i'm looking for in a phone is screen clarity, effective accelerometer and touchscreen (where it takes a millisecond for the screen to respond), camera with flash that takes clear photos (not necessarily high pixel), with java and can install jar files, with document viewer (especially pdf and word coz i install ebooks), and the wifi is not so sluggish, and can install maps whether google, ovimaps or etc. i hope someone can help me decide which is the best. I'm not really particular whether the phone is 3g or not as long as the above are there. thanks

  • go to www.zedge.com...............thr u can get themes

  • Yes it has virtual qerty keyboard on the screen and can rotate with accelerometer sensor :)

  • X6 its a must have i support that .

  • look stop waisting time and just buy it , okay run to the store and get one !

  • X6 is better than this puccini. the x6 has a capacitive touchscreen. carbon copy of x6

  • Phone look nice and the features seem good but there is 1 flaw in the phone; the battery life extremely low. Bt other than that it siiik

  • why do lg only use their own processors and os's...

  • Does this phone use windows mobile? And is there any unlocked application for the GPS?

  • i need to know how does it cost in egypt or in emarets

  • Your best phone ever, and i hope it will be available in Portugal any time soon, Can't wait to get my hands on one;-)

  • I dint come across any such issue for this phone... i am using it for almost 3 years now and i am very happy with the performance of my phone. Nokia N82 is really doing a good job for me and i am very much satisfied using this phone. The picture quality is very good with 5MP of camera The video resolution is also good. The best thing is the zoom it has a very powerful zoom MP3 quality is also goood i have added a 4GB micro Sd card which is half fulled and believe me i have more than 160 songs stored. it has a Wi-FI, GPRS, WAP Browsing is also very fast and the most improtant thing is its one touch button where in i can see the recent snaps i took, recent video, speed dial numbers, music, messages, calls, i think this phone is great .... the only disappointment was on the key pad. as its keys are very short. its sometime trouble to work with them.

  • Rishab pls have a look at this comment... Hai iam using this N82 model since one month and unit is heating up whenever the battery charge shows low.Please post your reply if any one knows the reason.Tell me that what about your opinon on this issue on your mobile.

  • Sam i think you cant compare LG GT500 Puccini with N82. Nokia phones are very durable, rough and tough. More over the features N82 for that price is unique combination.. i have also attached a link which could give you some idea of the phone

  • you cant judge the phone based on the price, there are so many phone which are pf less price but with gr8 fetures and something like Nokia N82 high price no value

  • Yes sam.... that phone looks so good that, i thought it to be bit more costly than that...

  • rishabh do u have any doubt

  • @ava.... are u sure you bought this phone for 80 euros?

  • Adorei o modelo do aparelho... lindo mesmo Brasil

  • Is this worth trading in my SE K850i?

  • What is the price on this one? Not too sure about the resistive touch however, think responsive will feat me much better..

  • Omfg, did you ever have it in your hands? Touch screen is great, definitely better than Nokia 5800, camera is excellent. Everything is fluid and very easy. I bought it, paid it about 80� and it is excellent. I work in mobile shop so I tried almost every phone that exist on market. And for this price this mobile is outstanding. And all of you that have prejudice for LG phones, that's your problem, but LG phones are become way better than they used to be.

  • No i'm afraid to tell you that this one is not upto the mark...lousy interface, slow response, camera quality very poor

  • Is 400 euros for the gt500 supposed to be cheap xD?

  • Is 400 Euro supposed to be cheap for the gt500 xD?

  • How much built in memory does this thing have? and does it have responsive or resistive touchscreen? Looks like it will be somewhat in prize range huh? cuz I do not wanna waste to much money though I've recently bought a computer for gaming =P

  • Personally I think the phone looks great, however I don't get why they keep up with the measure of 3 inch display... I think it's kind of small and would like 3,2-3,5 inches instead. Never tried the A-class UI before though but I think it will suit me pretty well cuz the S-class looks somewhat confusing and a little to much...

  • Hi! Does anyone have this phone? I would like to know how good is the touch screen,camera and video recording quality please.I'm not sure if I should by this phone or wait a few months more until a new phone comes along as I don't have money to waste, especially if you are on a budget! I need an all round phone that will last. Also, does anyone know the USA equivalent of this phone as I want to have a look at the manual. I looked at LG and there is no manual available.

  • the difference between s-class and a-class is it's appearance (of course). s-class offer cube-like shortcuts for widgets, multimedia, contact, and shortcuts. a-class not, but it still offer widgets and shortcuts. and we can say a-class is cheaper from s-class

  • I think i will buy this phone, even A-class UI is not as good as S-Class UI

  • Well this phone is very good if you look what it offers and price. Wifi, excellent camera, gps. In real it's quite thin and ellegant and touchscreen is very good (personally I think is better than Nokia 5800).

  • to be honest i think it looks very ugly... the lg cookie is a very attractive phone with not alot of features but this has lots of features and if you wanted to choose between the phones, i would choose this one.

  • im think that this phone is nothing like lg cookie because this phone have much better touch screen , u can put in phone new themes , 5 mp camera with stabilizator , smile shuter led and one front camera for vieo call , wifi and 3G network , gps ect .. one thing is only similar , and that is thing that both phones have touch screen ..

  • nothing new.... all the phone companies are now fooling people by just changing the exterior of the handsets.........

  • i dont like LG before, but when i try Cookie, im impressed with it's simplicity and user friendly fone. it's my first time to have LG fone but it never gave me hard time using it. LG makes a good fone!

  • seems its like the cookie but with a 5 mp camera.......

  • i like LG phone i think they very good in feature and value, design are very attractive and handy.

  • Not bad design...but overall..I don like LG's phones

  • Hey, what's the difference between S and A class UIs?? Is A-class like a cheap version of S-class????
