GPS:
The internal GPS is equipped with the GPS utility which displays the strength of the signal and the AT&T Navigator is powered by TeleNav. Initially, there was a 2 mintute drag to get it up and running but when it was in sprint, we were pretty impressed.

Settings:
Here�s a tour through the Settings of the LG Incite. Let�s begin with the basics � the Buttons. There�re buttons for Clock Style, Weather, Gesture, Sounds & Notification and Phone. We�ve also discovered the MS Voice Command. The sad part is that only two hardware keys are capable of being utilized.

The clock style can be adjusted and you can even wish to display two clocks instead of one. This app and the weather option is really a great feature, especially if you are a globe trotter. Gesture would allow you to flick scroll and well, we�d advice you not to tamper with the settings because adjusting the sensitivity makes the scroller act weird. But here, you can choose from a colour scheme from the extensive palette.

LGDateTime is the clock feature (like we didn�t know!) and no, you can�t move it every way you wish. The dialpad allows you to set various sounds, like for instance, if you choose the Voice option, every time you press 2, you would hear a voice saying it.

Coming to the screen, we�re still voting Omnia because the Incite sorely disappoints, even with maximum brightness. The X key is not really close to the application but is hidden rather inconveniently in the program memory.  And talking about program memory, LG Incite seems to pathetically lack in this division as well.

Multitasking is not really LG Incite�s cup of tea. With just 78MB of accessible RAM, performance takes a backseat and multiple programs can�t run all at once. The Sensor option allows you to switch on or put off the three sensors but sensitivity and behavior of either the accelerometer or the proximity sensor cannot be manipulated.

AT&T�s Video Share finds a place in the Incite with which you can gain access to one-way live streaming video service which comes at an extra cost. The Connections key leads to the Communications manager.

Camera:
For a change, the camera applications are easy on the finger and top notch in performance. The pictures are of a pretty high quality which can even go up to 3.0 megapixel resolution. The video capture can manage around a resolution of 400x200. Moreover, there�re a couple of zany features like the panorama shot, for instance, or it can even help you shoot a continuous shot or with a picture frame or even a close up of the dazzling yellow flower. But well, the focus is still a blurred one. You can imagine what the absence of flash can do to pictures taken in lowly lit areas. It�s high on noise and the clarity is, umm, not mentionable.

Power and Performance:
There�s no doubt that the Incite falls pathetically short of even the most basic expectations about performance, especially in comparison with other Windows Mobile powered devices. We think that this serious setback is because of the low RAM coupled with faulty software optimization. Screen to screen navigation is extremely lazy and highly disturbing.

Battery:
A hardcore 1300mAh is what we came across when we delved into the annals of the LG Incite. And we�re not yet disappointed! Actually, this stands out pretty good. If you�re glued to your device practically all the time (on calls or internet browsing or using the GPS) then, you can hope to last for one day on a single charge. If you�re on the lighter side with moderate usage, then you can use the device for 1.5 to 2 days and even for 3 days without recharging, especially if you are a very, very light user.

Sore Points:
Talking about technical glitches i.e. bugs, we�re on terra firma. But, there are many other problems, like performance (or the lack of it) which are a technical downslide. Now to get talking about the pitfalls, we can�t really decide where we should start off from. The hardware design is as faulty as it can get. We can�t see the reason behind the exclusion of the D-Pad on a Windows Mobile Smartphone where it cannot be compromised in the quest for enabling few buttons and more spacious design. Then again, the Incite is very harsh on the finger and the scroll wheel is the only respite which makes it easier to navigate.

Wish List:
If you take a closer look, there are many paint bubbles on the silver surface, which appear in just a few days! Well, you can imagine what would happen in the near future. Moreover, the buttons look like they�ve been glued to resemble a keypad, threatening to easily fall off, if tampered with. Press the bottom and the �creak� is unmistakable. The camera is designed to depress with its out of order focus, blurred colors and the absence of flash makes it useless, especially in indoor shots.

We�d spoken about Netfront, Incite�s nasty default browser. Here�s a more detailed analysis on it. For starters, it takes a very, very, very long time to get the hang of it. We�d suggest downloading Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta which runs pretty well on this Smartphone as well.

The milky white tinge on the screen makes the colors to look lifeless and there�s absolutely no intensity at all. Moreover, making the screen a little bigger would have covered the extra space on top and given a much fuller look to the Incite. The automatic screen rotation is pretty unpredictable and at times would rotate with relative ease and at times, not budge at all.

We�re still wondering what made LG not to add a built in stylus to the specifications. Generally, all the Windows Mobile screens are not very sensitive making finger-operation of a device difficult. But then, at times a stylus becomes very necessary for a Smartphone. And if the stylus is not built-in, there�s the problem of carrying around the extra baggage, not to mention the childishly, ugly-looking dangler which it comes with.

We�ve come across truck loads of Java based trial-software, some of which are great and they cost $8 per month as a subscription fee. We can�t help but point out that some of the above mentioned software comes free in the iPhone.
