I’m just received my new 410g, and I wanted to get some pictures posted right away so you can check it out. To view my flickr slideshow of pictures of this phone, click on the photo below:
I haven’t yet activated this phone, but here are my initial impressions:
- The screen seems very small to me after having used the t301g for the last month
- The 410g is lighter than the Motorola W260, W370, or W376g.
- The phone is smaller than any other flip phone model for TracFone
- Rounded edges and corners make the 410g seems even smaller
- The battery and charging port are the same on the 410g as on the 600g and LG 300 (a Net10 model)
- There is no dedicated browser button per se, but the right soft key, from the main menu, activates the browser, and I haven’t found a way to reassign that key
- I’ve mentioned this already on this blog, but this model does NOT include Double Minutes for Life
I created an index page for review items related to this phone, and you can find that here. I’ve got a few other things I wanted to post about first, but writing an in-depth review is pretty high on my priority list, so expect to see the first installment of that review in early June. If you can’t wait for that review, though, you can click here to check if the 410g is available in your area.
Thanks for the preview of the LG410G, Patrick. I got a look at it on the shelf at KMart last week, but decided to let it be for now as I have something like 9 new and unactivated tracs around here right now.
Tell me, does it need to be activated for the clock to function correctly? I prefer the models where you can set the clock while the phone is deactivated, in case you’d like to use it as a ‘poor mans PDA’ before you do get it activated.
Hi Tony
I just checked my own 410g, which is also not yet activated, and unfortunately it seems that the only way to set the clock is by the network, so you are out of luck with that one.
i have it and i must say i reviewed allot of phones but this one is one of the best
