While, like most smartphones, the LG Incite by AT&T has multimedia features, it's true appeal lies in its ability to keep people working even when they're away from the office or home. Notes, tasks and meeting reminders are available in one or two clicks on the vibrating touch pad; editing and viewing office documents is available through the phone's Windows Mobile 6.1 system; and surfing the web or sending and reviewing home and business emails is a snap with Wi-Fi connectivity.
The purchase of a microSD memory card for the phone can help store a whole music library or set of documents on the Incite, which has PC connectivity and synchronization features. With so much to do, it's also handy that the Incite allows for six and a half hours of active time between charges and can remain idle without a charge for up to 20 days.
The Incite is slow and has few entertaining applications. Double-clicks to open an application lag, adding contacts to a message is time-consuming, and a few seconds are needed to switch from horizontal to vertical view when the handset is tilted.
The Incite is smaller than Apple's popular iPhone 3G in dimensions and, unfortunately, screen size. Measuring in at 107 x 56 x 14 mm, it fits in the palm of even the smallest hand but is a bit thick for the average pocket. It is not a lightweight, with a bulk of 120g. Readers looking for a clamshell that fits in a back pocket can skip to another device.
The Incite's sleek silver body is so reflective its face or back can double as a mirror. Its 3.0-inch touch screen lets users type on a full QWERTY keyboard or in multi-tap mode, which is the Incite's default typing option. Consumers can select application icons and browse documents with a stylus writing tool - attached to the top left corner. Every click on the screen triggers a vibration, letting users know a selection has been made.
The screen has great clarity and icons are easy to see, but compared to other touch screen smartphones, the Incite's screen is smaller, making viewing web headlines, emails, and PDF and Word documents an eye straining experience. Buyers have also complained the phone is slow and has few entertaining applications. Double-clicks to open an application take a bit, adding contacts to a message is time-consuming, and the phone takes a few seconds to switch from horizontal to vertical view when the phone is tipped.
Located below the screen, two soft keys turn on and off the Incite and places or ends calls. Blended into the handheld's right side are a key to turn on the camera, lock or unlock the keypad, a slot for a microSD card and a jog wheel that allows consumers to shuffle through songs, videos and images or documents. Features on the left side let users reset the phone, make screen features go up or down and plug in the charge.
Located on the back, the built-in 3.0-megapixel camera captures photos and video. A handsfree or headset connection is located at the top.
Out of the box, the LG Incite comes with a standard 1300 Li-Ion Battery, AC Travel Charger, USB Data Cable, User Guide and Instructional CD.
