Nokia N93i is a legitimate and the only heiress of the mighty mobile phone Nokia N93.
It seems that developers did the fans a favor and reduced the size of this “hero”. In addition, they have made it more stylish, using the mirror faceplate.

Design and keyboard

From a first glance differences between N93i and N93 are visible. First of all keyboard has undergone changes, it has become flatter. I immediately remembered TONKOMOTO, however, it is clear that for the sake of reducing the thickness of the shell the manufacturer has made some sacrifice.
I must confess that convenience is not added, and vice versa – it has been dramatically reduced.
To quickly dial a number you should be a very clever man, otherwise you will be mistaken. In addition, the flat navigation button often brings in games such as arcade-shooter. You need to make a maneuver to evade enemy missiles carrying the death, and then … your finger hits the key “Menu”. Most often this happens in the most crucial moment.
Of course, you can easily go back, but the sediment from a failed mission remains.
At the ends are placed cover up for pop-connector and a slot for memory cards. I must say that now they are made of plastic instead of rubber and foul in their places, as the previous model.
However, the changes are purely cosmetic, but it in some way makes the device more convenient.

Displays
Unlike N93, Nokia N93i has a new external display. This is OLED, displaying 65 thousand colors, but it is almost monochrome.
Images can be seen well even on the reflective surface. Information is readable on a sunny day, unless the mirror surface begins flashing. At the service displays quite standard information. This time, signal is strengthened and battery level, painted with an elegant curve. Of course, in case of an incoming call screen displays the name and number, as well as the image of a shaking phone.
The internal display with a resolution of 240×320 looks like something brighter than the analogue in N93.
Under direct sunlight the brightness was not enough and images were “fading”. Just at hand was Sony Ericsson K810, on the display of which the information could be read much better.

Camera
As it is known, camera is the main advantage of N93i. Otherwise why it is equipped with such a big lens, a rotating display, optics by Carl Zeiss? Since the entire filling remained unchanged, then expecting some difference in picture quality is senseless, but … it is only at first glance.
Based on our own feelings I can tell you that the speed and ease of control during the shooting have not been changed.
Personally, I do not like the delay somewhere between the shutter and recording in memory of the finished picture. In other words, if you took a photo of a child fidget, then 50% of marriage is guaranteed. The quality of images is slightly worse, because of the lack of sharpness. It is not too noticeable, but if you look closely … Shooting with flash is a strange occupation.
Personally, I thought that clips shot with the help of this novelty are slightly worse. The colors are not very natural. Honestly, I do not like to shoot video with a phone camera, but I liked shooting quality of N93.
There is a cable to connect the phone to the TV. For example, video is easier to watch on the big screen. Image quality of course depends on the skill of the operator, but in general – successful commercials look good.

Additional functions
As in N93, this novelty supports Wi-Fi. I confess that I quickly connected N93i with known Wi-Fi-points. Sometimes the indicator simply indicates a low signal, and at that time quite ancient notebook Dell, worked for a sweet soul, with the level of 80-85%.
Download speed of a 4,5 MB file via Bluetooth is 52-58 kB / s, which is rather good.
Player gives juicy sound; the headset has quite decent quality. It can run in the background. Radio works without problems: in the city it is caught well enough, in the suburbs – a little worse.

Conclusion
Nokia N93i is a funny, somewhere even a status phone. Having such a phone people will immediately begin to respect you as this is an expensive, fancy “device”, and in its segment it is even better. If you already own N93, then there is no need to trade for a letter “i”, because you will not get anything new, but money will be certainly saved.

As a rule, simple mobile phones are almost never equipped with a Wi-Fi module. For some reason, it is believed that this is for communicators or multi-functional smartphones only. However, people around the world use mobile phones to read news on internet sites, download ringtones, watch weather forecasts. All this they do through GPRS or EDGE. This situation is beneficial to operators of cellular communication, but has a negative effect on the thickness of the user’s purse.In the meantime, there are a lot of free Wi-Fi access points in major cities, but only owners of communicators, PDAs or laptops can use them. Sony Ericsson G705 solves this.

Appearance
The thin, lightweight, compact Sony Ericsson G705 (95,0 h47, 0h14, 5 mm/98 d) perfectly fits even in the breast pocket of a shirt. It lies excellently in the hand thanks to the uneven soft-touch plastic, of which the rear cover and the hand edge are made. In addition, the rounded edges of the rear wall allow to better hold your phone in your palm.
Sony Ericsson G705 is a vertical slider, and because of this its entire front panel is a large display, covered with a mirror protective coating, and a unit of control keys. The sliding mechanism itself has a notable gap – the shell halves are slightly relative to each other, but it has no effect on the effectiveness of the disclosure. The closer of the slider is a little bit tight, but on the other hand it does not allow the device to open accidentally.
At the top end there is the «Play» key, which provides a quick start for the MP3-Player.

Unfortunately, the key is too small, so working with it is uncomfortable. At the right end, buttons of volume adjustment and camera activation are traditionally placed. But the left side is occupied only by the interface connector.
According to tradition, it is responsible for connecting to the charger/ computer, as well as to «music» adapters, to which the user can connect headphones with a plug minijack 3,5 mm.
In general, the quality of the assembly of Sony Ericsson G705 is nice, as well as the quality of materials. Of course, only the fussy control below the display cuts the eye. It should be noted that in the collection of Sony Ericsson there is a slider which has a similar appearance – the model W705, positioned as a music phone.
Outwardly it is different exactly with the control buttons – in the W705 they most harmoniously fit into the overall concept of the phone.

Management
The control unit, located below the display, has already been mentioned. Just note that it consists of a large 4-positional navigation key with a central button to confirm and six additional buttons. They are enough not only for basic work with the phone, but for the quick start of any applications.
All buttons have a flawless operation, but also a strong backlash that coupled with the gap, found in the study of the sliding mechanism, weakly corresponds with the high value claimed for the device.
The digital keyboard is executed in a single plastic panel, very nice to touch.
The roughness of the wave-like keys is high and fingers do not slide off while typing numbers. In addition, accidental activation of neighboring buttons was not observed.
Only the dim lighting was disappointing, as only the right edge is bright enough.

Other Features
When removing the back cover it is necessary to move the locking lever, located on the lower end of the shell and hook the cover by a small ledge.
But even after removing the lock you have to detach the cover almost by the entire perimeter, as it clings to the shell in striking way.
The pleasant features include the fact that the phone supports M2 memory cards up to 32 GB (maximum capacity for this size up to date), whereas in the set there is already a card of 1 GB capacity. In addition, the internal memory of 120 MB in the tube for recording address data, text or photographs is more than enough.

Display
First of all, the phone display pleases with its large size. The diagonal is 2.4 “- almost like in modern communicators, but there is not a sensory substrate.
Instead the resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and the support of 262 thousand colors there is a new tool not only for surfing mobile web sites, but also to view photos or play videos and even movies. In addition, you can boast bright colors and large living angles of vision.

Communications
The device works not only for the entire range of GSM-networks (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), but also supports the UMTS networks (850/1900/2100 MHz). The transfer of Internet data is carried out, respectively, via EDGE and HSDPA. We have not tested the 3G, but the GSM was studied well enough to express the high sensitivity of the phone.
In addition, there is a bluetooth-module and what is more interesting, a full Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g, allowing you not only to connect to Internet networks, but also to organize home networks.
For this the new model has a DLNA-server that provides connectivity to any home equipment with embedded Wi-Fi modules. For example, you might organize a wireless network with your home router, and view photos from your phone in your computer. Connecting to an access point does not cause any problems – the phone clearly shows the visible networks on the screen. The user can only select the appropriate. But the work of Wi-Fi has been tested in one of the capital’s cafes with free Internet access. No criticism – websites loaded fast enough.

Wireless Modules
It must be said that by this model the company Sony Ericsson, following other leading manufacturers such as Motorola and Nokia, has decided to break the existing unwritten standards for «simple» phones. In addition to this Wi-Fi, the manufacturer has equipped the device by another two wireless modules. First – it is a usual FM-radio, using as an antenna the connected set. The interface of management program is stylish, familiar to other models of phones by Sony Ericsson.
But the second module in most cases is established only in communicators – it is a GPS-receiver. For navigation a good program Wayfinder Navigator is used, with the ability to save the downloaded maps on the flash-card of the device. In addition, you can use the well-known Google Maps.
But if you only want to know the exact location or speed, it is better to run a small utility, which provides only brief information about your location, and found companions.
The quality of the GPS-navigator is nice, but the connection is often lost. In the car, the navigator is stable only near the glass. The cold start time is approximately 5 minutes. It can be sped up, immediately after starting the device, by forcing the navigator to work in A-GPS mode, i.e. to determine its location by cells.

Camera
The camera, unfortunately, is not included in the strong points of the new model. It is based on CMOS-matrix 3.2 MP, has an LED flash, but, alas, has no autofocus, so the quality of the images is poor.
Photographing is carried out up to a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. The menu of the camera and its settings are well known from the other tubes of Sony Ericsson. Among the interesting features only the possibility of putting together the panorama of three shots can be noted, though the result is often of a very mediocre quality.
The photos have good color, but variegated noises. In addition, due to the lack of autofocus the frame details are at a low level, and it is better to forget about macro.
Below you can see samples of photos, the archive with photos can be downloaded here.

Time of autonomous work
The unit is equipped with a Li-Pol battery with a capacity of 950 mAh. In the normal mode of work (20 minutes of conversation per day, working with the address book, viewing news feeds via GPRS) the device will have to be charged no sooner than after three days. On the one hand, this rate is fairly high, but on the other – do not forget that the G705 has a number of energy units that “eat up” the battery power in a few hours. For example, when working in the networks of Wi-Fi the phone will require charging after just three hours. The same index of autonomous work will be demonstrated with the enabled GPS- navigation.

Software Features
The menu of the phone is a 3 x 4 matrix consisting of superbly worked animated icons.
There are four design themes, each of which is interesting in its own way. Address book, calendar, alarm clock and other office functions are already known from other models – no criticism to the manufacturer. It is better to see what applications are installed in the phone.
The main installed program characteristics are directed on the work with the Internet. For example, there is a utility for viewing clips from YouTube, or a good program for viewing the weather forecast.
But the original screensaver showing the time in different cities around the world, or the not less interesting customized pedometer does not require an access to the Internet.
In addition, there is a small editor to edit photos taken by the phone – to turn them into funny pictures, or even comics, “gluing” on them ready images (for example, an enormous moustache on your friend’s face). Games on the phone are only two, and rather simple too.
Well, the G705 media player is a standard solution, which is found today in any phone of Sony Ericsson.
The manufacturer does not position the new device as musical, but the sound quality is very decent if you connect good headphones. But it is better not to pull out the set headphones – just buy new ones. All the more if the adapter allows you to connect any headphones with a standard 3.5-mm jack.

Conclusions
The cost of Sony Ericsson G705 is about 13 thousand roubles. The price bites, especially in view of the application of not the most expensive materials and not the most accurate development of all its elements. So the cost of the apparatus is at the level of communicators, whose capabilities are incommensurably larger. You can, of course, argue that the G705 supports 3G, but in Russia, this possibility has not yet been greatly needed, not to say that it is generally needed only by those who are often abroad. So if in a couple of months, the cost of the new model will descend to about 10 thousand roubles, this device (with embedded Wi-Fi modules and GPS) can be considered an advantageous purchase.

I will never compare Nokia E75 with Nokia E71. Despite the fact that both devices belong to the same series they are different with their design, keyboard (though both have a QWERTY-layout), and the display guidance.

The novelty has a quite acceptable size for this class of devices; the Nokia E75 fits excellently in the inner pocket of a light jacket and is not especially felt there, though it weighs 139 grams. The tube lies in the hand as expected, not jumping out from the palm of your hand at every opportunity.

The quality of the Nokia pleases, the details fit together perfectly, nothing creaking and annoying. The slider pleased me either – the closer strongly picks up the upper half, which opens with a loud click, in the middle way. Metal can be found on the reverse side of the slider at the ends around the display, and the lid covering the battery compartment is made of it as well. It is made of corrugated stainless steel, and looks good and solid.

At the ends are the volume keys, the camera button and voice dialing, the microUSB connector and memory card slot. The camera lens is located so that when recording the finger is not seen in the frame and does not interfere.

At the upper end there is a standard 3.5-mm jack for connecting headphones. This is good, because an adapter is not required.

Display and keyboard

The screen is quite standard for many Nokia devices, and if not a standard of quality, then certainly a very good option for this model. TFT-matrix decently «burns out» under the sun (the colors are indistinguishable), but the menu icons and text are well visible; it is possible to work under direct sunlight. Natural transmission of colors and decent viewing angles also refer to the advantages of Nokia E75. Of course, when disclosing the tube the picture overturns, however, it can be implemented by the sensor status as well. In general, the screen is suitable for any task, including GPS-navigation.

Decent size keys, including 4-position button-selector, are convenient; during one week of use there were only a few mistakes. The only «but», delete the characters, is not very convenient, because this function is assigned to the shared content key, which has a small area, and this causes discomfort. Numbers can literally be dialed on-the-run, as the finger always gets where necessary.

It is assumed that you need two hands when typing on the QWERTY-keyboard, otherwise it will not work. Keys are made of opaque plastic, are of sufficient size for quick (the adaptation takes two days) typing, fingers do not fly off, mistakes are rare. As far as to the use easiness, you again need to get used to the keyboard. As for me it was easier write an SMS on an «external» keyboard, and a long e-mail – on the «adult», but only after preliminary training.

Camera

The vast majority of users will of course shoot stuff with the camera. The particular model has nothing to boast about here, but this camera is what you expect to see in a phone for busy people – 3 IP, LED flash, mirror for self-portraits.

Seven scenes will be quite handy for creativity. There are several series of shooting modes, ranging from six shots «machine gun» to «capture every 30 minutes until the memory ends». Who may need such a function (I have in mind the latest), is not clear. It is also not pleasing that when the camera is turned on it always makes the «auto» flash mode, even if it was off before powering down. This is very uncomfortable. As the E75 has a GPS-receiver, the ability to put images on geo-markers is a self-evident joke. The autofocus properly fulfils its role, in most cases with the second attempt.

The output on the camera can be the following – it produces decent images under favorable light and with a strong desire (along with some skill). In early dusk the matrix begins to make «noise», and this must be taken into account. This is just in case.

Music

The music player interface is similar to previous Nokia devices, but has cosmetic refinement. As you can see the album covers are displayed without problems, info of the tag-files is often completely readable; rewind within a track is supported.

The sound can be changed through five preset EQs. However it is possible to decide oneself how music will sound by using eight lanes. There are the traditional modes of expanded and enhanced stereo bass.

The sound quality is decent, but with a noticeable «plastic» tint, in addition, the low volume should be noted because of which it is difficult to listen to music in the subway.

The radio is like a radio, nothing special. The quality of the reception is decent, at least in the city. A memory of 50 cells should be sufficient; RDS is supported, the sound can be put into an external speaker, recording the live-broadcasting is not possible.

Menu and Functions

There is no need to describe the mail client, because it takes long, and is not interesting for all (despite the mailing orientation of the model), it will take a lot of space, some people will even sleep (or simply close the page) while reading the text.

The menu is usual for new devices of the S60; you can see for yourself how it looks. Numerous tube settings are encapsulated in stylish icons or lists; all is sorted through, everything is logical and there is no need to refer to the instructions.

It has three themes of the main screen. One theme is standard; the other dubs the desktop icons, the third called «Active» – is the nicest. In addition, when it is activated, six icons for quick access to functions are displayed at the top of the screen, and at the bottom of the screen are thumbnails, which report events, such as missed calls or received SMS messages.

Office applications (the «Office» folder) are known from the early models, everything is familiar and everything works. For office workers, there is even the Intranet application. It will be used by some 10-15% of the owners of E75, but the function is not redundant.

The calendar is traced (executed) to a hundred points – informative, visual display of events, a simultaneous display of a whole month and the events on a particular day; convenient switching of the type of display of the created events. Everything is simple and convenient.

Outcome

If you work with e-mail by your phone every day, often go on business trips, your company pays for the mobile phone (GPRS-roaming is not cheap) and you are issued this model at the expense of the company, everything is wonderful. If not, then for all the benefits of the device, its price kills many people. In case the price is lowered, the E75 will become a justified purchase, but for me personally, I would have bought an HTC Touch Pro. Although this is a different class of device, but both have a full keyboard. In general, Nokia E75 is a good bargain if you just want to have such a phone in your pocket, and the price is irrelevant.

An amazing case when a market leader in mobile communications devices does not have enough traditional batteries, the company starts to use already forgotten format of energy carriers. Here is Xenium X520, which is able to squeeze all the juice not only from a rechargeable battery and but from all the surrounding ones.

Appearance

Philips Xenium X520 attracts everyone with its mysterious form of a shell, bringing nostalgia of cassette players and pagers (beepers), and also of banal remote control for home appliances. It is really amazing. However, apart from the fussy block below, the size of the phone is quite typical – 111,1 x 48,8 x 16,3 mm.

Yes, it has exactly 16 mm of thickness, and do not believe the advertising image, there you can see that the lower part is much thicker as flat side of the butt-end make the device look much thicker. However, the thickening at the rear part of the shell can be considered a necessity, because it will be inconvenient to hold a 95-g device in your hand.

On the front side of the device you can notice a silver navigation key with a relief texture, as well as a flat button of confirmation “Ok”. In general, the whole block of keys on the phone was made as separate plane areas of opaque plastic, separated by a glossy front panel. The keys have a short tight stroke with a clear click, invariably accompanied by a click. In addition white lights under the small letters are also worth mentioning.

Just above the keyboard a thick plastic cover is placed, which is designed to protect the 2-inch TFT-screen with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels from mechanical damages. The applied matrix does not have excellent quality colors – 260 000 colors. However, there is no need to expect more from the Philips phones and do not expect particularly outstanding results. Of course, you can read phone number and text message without any difficulty, but studying pictures and photographs in sunny weather will be much more difficult.

There is a conversational dynamics opening above the display, which is located directly in the center. Polyphonic speaker is hidden on the back side, next to the small enclosed module of 2-MP camera without autofocus.

There are separate silver volume keys with tight audible click at the ends. There is also a slot for micro SDHC memory card, located on the right end. In the same place, close to the lower compartment, you will notice one more interesting detail, the attachment for the strap, unusually solid and reliable.

Battery

The block is a cylindrical projection, the diameter of which is the 16.5 mm. Polarity battery switch is located on the left end of the block, but from the opposite end, everything is made much funnier.

While rolling the holder, you can see the battery compartment, under the storage component of the standard AAA, spread not less than the traditional finger batteries. In addition, the kit has an Energizer battery.

The main battery is located under the back lid, which you can remove with a hand movement. Under there is a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1050 mAh «hidden», providing five days of work in the everyday operation of phone calls and half an hour of listening to music. The batteries charge the device for up to two three-days of work.

Interface & Communications

When you first listen to the greeting sound of X520 you see that it is not worth waiting for anything complex in the phone, and after a couple of seconds, we already see the concise standby mode. Here everything is done without a hint of originality, but this simplicity in fact seems to be convenient. The menu may be represented by a boring list, or matrix of 12 simple icons.

Submenu and all other places of the interface are presented in the form of lists with nice animation cursor, and at the same time you can quickly move to the line through the numerical keys. It is a pity that the ease of navigation is not supported by the personalization, which allows one to change wallpaper in the standby mode or to choose a lighter theme, instead of a dark one. There are also seven profiles in this device. You can adjust each of the five profiles to your taste; you can choose offline and silent alert.

Calling service consists of a simple-to-use phone book that can store up to 1000 entries consisting of a name and a number. This Spartan filling of each cell is an offset with a «black» list of ignored numbers, user-friendly control scheme records, as well as simple editing functions of subscriber numbers in a call row. Accordingly, the call lists serve only for the most basic information, without any counters and tariff.

There are two separate SMS and MMS editors, creating simple multimedia messages, or banal text messages consisting of 1-4 length 60 characters.

Communications

Despite the fact that Xenium X520 belongs to the innovations of 2009 at an average price range, we cannot speak about its abilities to support networks of the third generation. Instead, you have to enjoy only GPRS-connection.

In addition to the wireless connection it has a normal mini USB-connector for charging and connection to a PC. In the latter case, the choice remains between the connection as an ordinary flash and expanded opportunities as a modem, which would require a software installation from the CD.

Utility and games

It has three separate alarms. Each of them can be configured to repeat on selected weekdays, or dwell on a single signal.

In addition, there is a good organizer with a calendar, voice recorder to record sounds, ability to set recording to playback at the selected time, the black list of unwanted numbers, calculator, stopwatch and timer. In general, all is quite ordinary, if you do not take into account the ease and simplicity of using the black list of numbers. If you have few minutes to rest, here are simple games such as funny Snake or Sudoku.

Multimedia

The music player will surprise you by the presence of sorting.  The radio has a high quality sound, as well as memory for 20 stations. Naturally X520 has RDS and AF, so everything is quiet normal with radio.

Camera

The phone has a built-in 2-megapixel camera. In addition, there are several settings, including color effects and serial imaging. You can also save funny moments of your by recording movies with a resolution of 176 x 144, at 5-15 frames per second.

LG KS660: Design and Features

LG KS660 has the most common type of touch phones’ cases – a mono block unit. Its dimensions are 104.9 x55×14.95mm. It is thin enough for carrying it comfortably in the pocket of jeans or trousers. It could be carried in the pocket of a shirt, if not its weight (110 grams), which is justified by the presence of two radio modules.

The front side of KS660 is almost entirely occupied by the main element of a touch phone – a huge display. It is entirely focused on the management of your fingers. It will take some time to get used to the sensitivity of the sensor, and in general to this type of management.

The screen resolution is 240×400 pixels, with the diagonal of 3 inches. The proportions are ideal for watching videos. The image on the display is bright and rich. Since your phone screen is at the same time the control management unit, it collects fingerprints with an enviable speed. This is practically not noticeable when the display is on, but when it is turned off, all your touches are seen very clearly.
The logo is located directly below the display. By the way some people who like this mobile often say that they would not have bought it only because the phone is LG. And the question is what else do you need from this manufacturer?

In addition to the display, there are normal keys located on the front. Besides being a dialling key, a quick access to the management of two SIM cards, and a Task Manager key, it is also responsible for finding selected applications, and finally, it is a ring-off key.
The facets on the perimeter of the phone are framed by chrome plastic insert. At the right end there is the volume and slot for micro SD memory cards up to 8GB, which is covered with a plastic plug. On the left there is the camera starting key, the lock, the firm connector for all at once (for charging, headphones and soft-cable). For many people the connector may be a negative fact when choosing the phone, because there is not either mini-USB, or support of conventional headphones. I remember how long ago many people were puzzled by the absence of standard connectors in the same Samsung i900. Well there is nothing to be done, these are our Korean manufacturers.
The phone has a Lithium-polymer battery at 950 mA / h. It is simply unrealistic to remove it without any improvised means. I think that even if it is dropped from high altitude the phone battery will remain in place. When you finally remove the battery, you will see, two signed slots for SIM cards that have the same form. Problems with installing and removing the SIM card will not arise.

LG KS660: User Interface
A notable feature of the interface of LG KS660 is the availability of more than one desktop. Switching between them can be conducted across the screen from left to right or right to left. On the speed dial screen, you can place labels of up to 10 contacts. But to be more precise, labels of only 9 contacts can be placed, because one of them, as in push-button phones, will be reserved for voice mail.
The second desktop can accommodate up to 10 preset widgets. You may set yourself the order and arrangement on the two tables, but you can also trust it to the phone, by shaking it a bit.

All items can be secured so that they are not accidentally moved when switching between desktops.
The service information (the level of the network signal for both SIM cards, active mode, maps availability, Bluetooth, battery and time) is displayed on the main screen, not depending which of the desktops you are on. By clicking on the center of this area, you will get a quick setup menu.
Below are the names of the operators, with the selected labels. And at the bottom there are four icons that have access to dialling, phone book, messages, and the main menu. I would like to note that the images or animations for each of the desktops can be different.
The main menu can be presented in two versions, which fundamentally do not differ from each other. This is either a scrolling list or scrolling tabs. Only the effect of appearance is changing: on top or on a side. It looks really good.

LG KS660: Call service

Phone Maps are divided according to two principles: primary and secondary. When dialling a number, unless you choose another one, the call goes from the first SIM card. Naturally, the default settings can be changed, but this phone will ask you to reboot.
You can receive calls and voice calls, have an Internet access from both cards. The phone book can hold 1000 contacts. Do not forget that in addition, you can save another 500 records on both SIM cards. This should satisfy the vast majority of users.

LG KS660: Communications
Bluetooth supports: Basic printing, Serial Port, Dial up, Hands free, Headset, File transfer, Object push. Of course, there are A2DP and AVRCP profiles, which were verified using the headset of Motorola S9. The only disadvantage was that when pairing with the headphones, you can only adjust the volume on the headphones themselves.

LG KS660: Multimedia
The phone is not positioned as a multimedia device by the manufacturer, however, everything is on a decent level.
Music can be rated, in order to sort them subsequently according to that ground. You can listen to music files of following formats: MP3, AAC, AAC +, AAC ++ and WMA. The playback information is displayed on the desktop, or directly on the preset widget.
Radio can boast of saving up to 50 radio stations. Search can be performed automatically or manually using the touch wheel, like in old radios.

LG KS660: Camera
There is a 5-megapixels camera with a maximum resolution of 2560×1920. The quality of pictures is bearable. There will be no need to bring along a digital soap-dish. The size of images with good coverage can reach up to 1.5 MB. And in low-light environment the flash can somehow fix the situation.
The image can be immediately edited. You draw by hand, add a picture, remove red eye, change the background, etc.

Recording is possible with a maximum resolution of 720 x 480 pixels. But the main point is not the resolution, we should not forget about the bit rate and speed of recording. Any handy video converter will show that the image is recorded at a speed of 25 frames with a bit rate of about 700-1000 kb / s, but when viewing the file the perception is not greater than that of 15 fps. And the cubes are very striking. Viewing a picture can be in a horizontal or vertical orientation.
