Window Mobile 6 Professional : It's advantages

I believe almost all my reader's computer is running Window system. Window system had been very common in computer. Since the introduction of Window Mobile system, more and more model launched by various manufacturer including the Sony Ericsson and LG which both also launched their first window's phone. (To view Sony Ericsson first Window phone, XPERIA X1, Click here.)

Being well known in computer market, the Window for mobile also having high customisability. Various application developed by other software vendor can be use in this phone.



Window Mobile's program / games

Microsoft's program that had been well known in computer also been installed in this KS-20 phone. Program such as Window media player, Window Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office had been preinstalled. So do not worry if you need to read the document on the go with your phone.

The KS-20 also have 2 games built in which is Bubble Breaker, a puzzle game and Solitare, a classic poker card game you can found on window's PC since last century.









Screen

LG KS-20 comes with a 2.8 inch touch screen supporting 262K colours on its 240 x 320 pixel high resolution screen. This phone has fairly good touch input recognition although sometimes you will find out that the phone will hang for a moment.





Touch screen's stylus

One of the draw back of this phone is its stylus house location. The KS-20 stylus is located on bottom left corner of the phone. This causes lots of inconvenience as most user is holding the phone with left hand. Means they have to turn around the phone to slide out the stylus. That's definitely a big drawback on the user friendliness aspect.



Camera

The KS-20 is supported by dual camera which the main camera is 2 Megapixel lense. The secondary camera is mainly for video call functions. Its 2 Megapixel camera is comes with autofocus function and also a built in flash light! Same as other Window's phone, the phone camera is only comes with 4X digital zoom.





Multimedia support / Built in FM tuner

KS-20 is supporting most media format that you can named such as mp3, mp4, wma, avi, and even WMV! Thanks to the Window Media Player preinstalled now you can see WMV format video on your phone.

FM tuner also built in with the KS-20. What do that means? Its means that you do not need to plug in handsfree like most phone to listen radio! You can just simply open the FM tuner program and start listening to radio through its speaker without need of plugging in hands free. It's is a rare function that feature on Window's system phone.



Connectivity features

The KS-20 is featuring 3.5G GSM connection, WIFI and also bluetooth connection. The 3.5G connection will enable you to download at the ultimate speed of 3.6Mbps with the HSDPA connections. However, the 3.5G is yet to be available in Malaysia but there is alot of information that 3.5G will be launching soon.

The WiFi function also enable us to connect to internet through wireless hotspot. It is a good bargain for those who visit cafe frequent as most cafe also equipted with free WiFi connection.
