LG U880

The U880 shares much the same feature set as previously sold LG handsets by Three, but brings them together in a small, light and thin clamshell than what we’ve seen in the past. The specifications are respectable – 1.3 megapixel rotating camera, music player with MP3 and AAC support, microSD memory card, Bluetooth, Java, and tri-band GSM support.

The U880 uses a 176x220 pixel LCD to display its contents. It can display 262,144 colours and the display is bright and clear, refusing to completely fade out in bright light and remaining readable (although it will fade out slightly). The phone is capable of displaying up to seven lines of text in menus and six lines when composing a message. The U880, being a 3G phone, is capable of making both voice and video calls.

The U880 supports both W-CDMA 3G and GSM network modes. On 3G it can access the internet at up to 384 kbps per second, while on a GSM network it can access at 48kbps through GPRS. The U880 supports the three main GSM bands (900, 1800 and 1900), so it can be used in many locations around the world.

In terms of local connectivity, you have the option of USB or Bluetooth. USB can be used to connect with a computer for transferring data and synchronisation, as well as to use the phone as a 3G/GPRS modem. In addition there is microSD memory card support (or Transflash as it used to be known), but there is no included card or microSD to SD card adapter included in the package, so this isn’t a very practical way of transferring data to a computer.
