LG Decoy phone reviewed
LG Decoy Review
LG Decoy is a great phone in disguise. With its apparently simplistic outlook, it surprises the unsuspected with the hidden gem on its back – the separable bluetooth earpiece. This is the first time where we have seen a phone having a integrated bluetooth earpiece which comes bundled with the handset.
The LG Decoy is the world’s first handset with an integrated Bluetooth headset. The great thing is, the bluetooth headset recharges on the go when inserted back into its compartment, so you will never be stuck with a wireless earpiece flat on battery. The address book can store a whopping 1000 contacts to help you stay connected with all friends and business associates. Unfortunately, the LG Decoy does not come with any other preloaded applications or games, however, with the inclusion of the web browser and EV-DO technology, you can not only download games but stream video from Verizon video streaming on the 2.2 inch display. LG Decoy has music playback functionality which supports streaming music. The sound can be a little tinny and is not the best out there for personal smart phones.
LG Decoy comes with 50MB internal memory and supports expansion via its microSD memory port, up to a maximum storage capacity of 8GB. The Decoy is also capable of voice commands, instant messaging (Windows Live Messenger, AIM, and Yahoo Messenger are supported), and e-mail.
The LG Decoy has a 2 megapixel camera like many standard phones. Average compared to the current industry standard, but still allows you to capture photos at acceptable quality. However, this little pocket device also has a handy camcorder feature to capture those magical moments and those all important must remember moments. It has a robust battery stamina lasting 320 minutes talk time and can remain in stand by for around 330 hours. This phone will always look pretty while it is waiting to be employed or while being kept on a shelf. However; with the high glossy finish, the surface will be consistently smudged with fingerprints.
Overall, for a midrange personal communication device, or a Real Estate Job Search aid, the LG Decoy has plenty of features to keep you connected without the expense of additional bells and whistles that you might not need. The LG Decoy proves to be a great choice for users who need a capable phone without all the additional and sometimes, unnecessary functions in smart phones.
