LG Incite
The LG Incite uses the features of HTC Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Samsung Omnia and BlackBerry Storm touch screen smartphones. ATT decided to do something a little different and offer the LG Incite CT810 Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro touch screen phone rather than the Diamond or Omnia. The Incite runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, and it has every high end feature except a hardware keyboard. There's a 3 megapixel autofocus camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth with a full set of profiles, and accelerometer, a sharp and outdoor visible display and a Qualcomm 528MHz CPU. Most unusual for a US smartphone is an FM radio-- nice! The Phone supports CV streaming media, , AT&T Navigator, AT&T's Music store and XM Radio Mobile.
The Incite is a slate design touch screen PDA phone-- there's no hardware keyboard. It's very small and light. In fact it's about the same size and weight as the Samsung Eternity touch screen feature phone. It's a shiny bugger, with a bright chrome back and sides and an extremely glossy front face. Alas the chrome is paint over plastic, and the Incite doesn't look like a pricey piece. The technology inside is good stuff though. We were very impressed to find that the Incite has an accelerometer, haptic (vibration) feedback that's adjustable to one of three levels, a light sensor to set screen brightness (this can be disabled) and most impressive: a proximity sensor. That feature, previously found on few phones other than the iPhone supposedly due to Apple holding patents, is probably every phone user's favorite. Place a call and the screen does not immediately turn off. But put the phone to your face and it does turn off. Move the phone away from your face, say to enter a number for a phone tree system, and voila the screen is back on.
