In the couple of years since its initial release the Google Android operating system has proven itself to be a highly popular and versatile platform with many phone developers scrambling to bring out their own Android phones. That’s why it comes as some surprise that LG, a company that is usually ahead of the curve with industry developments, is only just releasing its first Android phone.
The InTouch Max GW620 is a stylish debut Android device for LG that has been designed principally for heavy social networkers and for people who spend a lot of time online. Along with the fully touch sensitive 3″ TFT display the GW620 also has a full QWERTY keyboard which can be slid out from behind the screen.
LG has placed a lot of emphasis for the InTouch Max on Android’s use of applications. Indeed, through Android marketplace you can gain access to over 20,000 apps and, as LG boss John Barton has stated, about 65% of these 
are totally free. You can find apps to tell you the latest news, games apps or apps for your favourite online social networking service as well as many more apps being released every day.
With full 3G and Wi-Fi support you can be sure to connect to the internet pretty much wherever you are to update your Facebook status or tweet your latest thoughts. This is where the QWERTY keyboard comes in handy as, although many touchscreen phones come with onscreen keyboards, a physical keyboard does not consume valuable screen space or make the display too cluttered.
With a 5 megapixel camera you can take pictures of your friends or surroundings and quickly upload them to your social networks to share with friends. The camera features an autofocus and LED flash as well as face detection and geo-tagging. The camera is not only great for snapping pics but can also record high definition video at 30fps. Through the use of a YouTube app you can quickly upload your recorded videos online to share with the rest of the world.
The Android media player has great support for music and video playback, and many other alternative media players can be downloaded through the Android Marketplace. Although internal memory is limited to 150MB you can easily upgrade this to 32GB through microSD cards, which is plenty of room for storing music and videos to keep you entertained on the go. The added benefit of this is that you can have many microSD cards and swap them about depending on your required content.
As well as having plenty of social networking apps to have fun with the GW620 is also an exceptional device when it comes to standard messaging and email. SMS messages are displayed through threaded viewing and there is also support for MMS and instant messaging services like Google Talk. With support for push email you can be sure you never miss that urgent message again as new emails will automatically be delivered to your phone. All these various methods of keeping in touch, from social networking, SMS or email are greatly complemented by the QWERTY keyboard.
LG seems to have gone all out with their first Android offering, and with so many Android phones already on the market it is understandable why. An excellent device for people who spend a lot of time online, the GW620 InTouch Max is great for typing out messages or emails and there are some great entertainment features on board too.
