We had opportunity to check out one of LG's newest smartphones, the LG GM730 at MWC today. We've seen all the
specs but
thought knew you all needed a really good look at the new
S-Class UI. This phone is not final, so our hands-on shows a few interface hiccups, but, you'll get the drift. So what's the take away here? This appears to be a darn fine overlay on Windows Mobile, access to things from the home screen are simple and quick: mail, messaging, calendar, menus to get at network settings and so forth are a welcome addition. The device feels sturdy (even without a back) and looks just fine in our sleep deprived eyes. Carry on for a video with all the action and a gallery stuffed full of MWC love.

good morning, Sean Cooper...
his phone is wet. :(
shamwow!
Awesome. I am going to hold out till it comes with a camera with 8 mp. Does anyone know how the mp3 player on it will be? Or does it even have one?
Ooh, pretty!
Who needs Winmo 6.5 when companies are cranking out overlays like this?
Can't wait to throw out my iPhone for this..
Guys, a person with a sane mind on engadget!! *hugs*
Man, all of these reviews are making me want to visit idontcareaboutcellphones.com
Wow, talk about laggy UI.
I noticed it was quite laggy too, which is a shame because it seems very intuitive.
Am I understanding correctly though that the "S-Class" UI runs on two different OS's - one which is LG's own proprietary one, and the other of course being Windows Mobile 6.5?
Because if you look here - http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/lg-arena-km900-hands-on/ the interface is silky smooth and extremely clear. What a shame LG couldn't optimise WinMo a bit further. I guess that's the compromise for the extra features provided.
hmm not the smoothest interface I've ever saw..
I sure hope that is still the beta version. If not, Microsoft is in trouble.
not being a fan boy or anything but the guy there is really having to mash his hand to get it to respond...hummm windows touch fails yet again
slooooooooowwwwwww, shit
Pretty cool device. I myself am still waiting for blackberry to release a storm equivalent for the rest of us who aren't married to verizon :-)

if they work out all the lag by the final relase, this could be on hell of a UI.
Is it possible to have a camera operator who does not have Parkinson's disease?
Very Nice!
If they speed up the UI then I'll add this to my list. It seems a bit laggy.
I'm sure it will have enough standbay time, depeding on what u do. I see that it will be available soon @ http://www.puremobile.com/LG-M...k-GSM-Phone/ lets hope they get it in stock soon.
