Internet and Connectivity
The most disappointing aspect of LG Viewty Snap GM360 Black mobile phone is that it lacks both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. As a result, internet access on the phone is only made possible through GPRS and EDGE technologies. That makes the speed very slow compared to many others.
Opera Mini is hidden between in the app section and zooming also becomes a bit difficult. Moreover, the resistive touchscreen makes internet experience a bit low on the handset and takes up a lot of your precious time. Moreover, Bluetooth and USB port is also presented for data transferring abilities.
