Reviews
“The LG GM730f smartphone has a reasonable features list, including 7.2Mbps HSDPA capabilities, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an FM radio and a built-in GPS receiver, though there is nothing really new or innovative. The GM730f struggles as a multimedia device, with LG opting for a proprietary headphone/charging jack rather than a standard 3.5mm one. For video playback, the screen isn’t vibrant and it struggles with glare. The GM730f comes with 300MB of internal memory, but a microSD slot can hold cards of up to 32GB.” (GoodGearGuide, 2009)
