In putting the terminally flawed OS out to pasture, Samsung have realised their potential to become big players in the smartphone market.

bada had, quite rightfully come under criticism. Not only for being one OS too many in a market already full of high-quality competition, but further for having flaws that set it some way behind those that it was trying to match.

It was unreceptive to third-party developers, unlikely to support any future technological developments, and didn’t support multi-tasking – something certainly necessary in any new platform trying to assert itself in 2009.

But in taking on board Android, Samsung have bought into a system that is far more appealing for developers, and as such far more appealing to their potential customers.

Credit must be given to Google for producing such a capable and now ubiquitous OS. Though an outsourced system, it has become the software of choice for a vast swathe of the top end smartphone manufacturers. HTC power their ever-popular range on Android, as do Dell, Sony, LG, and Motorola, amongst others.

Samsung have really taken Android 2.1 to the next level on the Samsung Galaxy S though, and overlay the stock OS with a few bada inspired tweaks that make the user process a little smoother. These benefits are not inconsiderable, especially in light of the release of Android 2.2, which the Galaxy S will not run.

Simple things such as a readily accessible Wi-Fi toggle alongside on-screen icons for silent mode and keypad lock make the phone that little bit more user friendly, and in the current market – in which personal preference defines people’s choices as no hardware stands head and shoulders above the rest – these tweaks could prove decisive.

Samsung, in the Galaxy S, have given users the best of both worlds, ensuring that the efforts of their own bada developers haven’t gone to waste, whilst bringing increased functionality to their leading phone.

LG made a lot of money with their LG Cookie. The latter was a touchscreen handset that was very popular for its competitive price. LG added the slide-out QWERTY factor to the equation and we got ourselves the LG GW520 handset. Smart of the manufacturer to add another cool thing to an already famously cool handset, we feel qwerty phones are on the rise as emailing and texting is so much easier. 

Let’s start our LG GW520 review with the looks. First you will notice the display that may be small for some standards but is perfectly decent at 2.8 inches. The weight and overall size are just right and we loved how it felt in our hand. The keyboard was a delight to use as well. Unlike other QWERTY phones where the buttons are cramped, using the keyboard of the LG GW520 is pure heaven. We turned off the lights to check the backlight and we are happy to report that the illumination is even. You can type away in the dark all you want. The keyboard is one aspect that LG did absolutely right.

The fast response of the screen adds to the great experience that you will have with the phone. Since there is no way for you to install apps that can lag the phone, speed of the touchscreen response will not be an issue. We sure did enjoy using the Flash-based interface and the easy customisation of the widgets. As for the messaging factor, the handset will impress you. Supporting SMS, MMS, and email, you can pretty much contact anyone any way you want. And don’t think you only got the keyboard to rely on for typing. This handset has an on-screen keypad as well.

For other online-related activities, you will have a full support of 3G and a decent browser. The Facebook integration feature is also fun. But we discovered that the multimedia functions of the handset are even more fun. The music player is wonderful to use, the 3MP camera takes adequate photos, and the video recorded does its job. For a budget phone, you would think that LG will not focus so much on these features but we are thankful that they did.

In conclusion, we commend LG for banking on the success of their previous handset to give us a new cheap mobile phone. This is another step that will make touchscreen phones much more accessible to everyone. We got no problem with that.
