LG Optimus Slider Review
Online, January 18, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The LG Optimus Slider is a great prepaid phone available from Virgin Mobile. You won't feel like you're missing any features just because you don't have a contract. The phone measures 4.53 by 2.32 by 0.58, so it's more compact than the superphones hitting the market right now. It'll fit easily into your pocket, comfortably in your hand and feels securely built. The screen is 3.2 inches with 320x480 pixel resolution, which is fairly average for this size screen. It supports 16 million colors so the color replication is realistic and natural looking. A 4 row full QWERTY keyboard slides out and locks into place securely, so you aren't fumbling with the phone while texting or surfing the internet. The keys are well spaced and raised enough you should be able to type quickly and accurately.
The 800MHz processor is fast enough to run anything you need and combined with 512 MB of RAM, you should be able to run multiple apps without a problem. Android Gingerbread 2.3 is also loaded onto the Optimus Slide so you can organize your apps however you want. Also included is a 3.2 megapixel camera with video capture, email capabilities, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and Flash support. Load up the memory - a 2GB card is preinstalled and the memory card slot can support up to 32GB card. The Optimus Slide runs on the fast and reliable 3G network, which is definitely good enough for average web browsing, checking social networks, and emailing. Pinch and zoom web pages while you're browsing so you don't miss a detail. If your hands are full or you're busy, use the voice control commands to navigate your phone.
We recommend having a reliable back-up power source and the two most popular options are vehicle chargers and external battery packs. External battery packs can be carried around anywhere and hold a charge for an extended amount of time, so it's ready to go whenever you are. Finally, a portable rechargeable LG Optimus Slider charger that has the ability to charge 2 devices at the same time without being plugged into an outlet. The Incipio® offGRID™ 2 Port Battery Pack allows users to power and charge their device from most wall outlets. Once the Battery Pack is charged, the user has the ability to charge their LG Optimus Slider devices while "off the grid". The offGRID™ has 2 standard Type A USB ports and has flat-blade folding non-polarized wall prongs. Charging status is identified by a LED charging indicator. offGRID™ is compact with foldable prongs, making the 2 Port Battery Pack a convenient LG Optimus Slider travel accessory.
