Introduction

G brings us the Incite as their first smartphone for the US, which happens to be a mid-level Windows Mobile device. Sporting a sleek mirror-like reflective design, the Incite is the only Windows Mobile phone to sport a proximity sensor, like the iPhone. Does this deserve consideration as your next phone? Read on for our thorough review!

Pics

In hand, the LG Incite feels quite nice. It makes good use of rounded edges and smooth materials. As we'll see later, the landscape keyboard of the Incite is very easy to use.
I really like what LG has done with the Incite's Today screen. It's very simple, but shows you a lot in one glance and gives you a lot of shortcuts. First, we have time and date on the top. Then, we have a weather icon with current temperature. If we tap on the weather icon, this is the screen we get.

Conclusion/ Overall Impression

The Incite packs some great features found only in high-end smartphones, but unfortunately, the device is saddled with so many usability and quality problems that it's hard to get excited about it. Using the Incite has made me miss the refinement that is found on HTC and Samsung Windows Mobile devices. If you're on the AT&T network and have an extra $100 to spend, get the Fuze - you'll be a lot happier.
