LG Incite

The LG Incite has the distinction of being the first smart phone from LG released by a major U.S. wireless carrier. It runs the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile, and includes a wQVGA touchscreen, 3G, and Wi-Fi.

The first thing that I said about the Incite was that it reminded me of the Palm Zire 71. You have to understand, the Zire 71 spent a long time in my pocket, and it had a form factor that I liked a whole lot. LG InciteTaking the Incite out of the box it was almost as if I were looking at the Zire 71 again.

The top and bottom of the Incite taper into this blocky teardrop shape that is way too similar. The sides are less tapered though, and contain the bulk of the buttons on the Incite.

Turning it on revealed how much like the Zire 71 this new model is not. Running Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the Incite has a 3 inch, 240 by 400 pixel touchscreen. And unlike some other Windows Mobile touchscreen devices, the display doesn't seem too separated from the glass covering it.
