I am a student archaeologist and spend a lot of time in countries that most people have never even heard of. I really want to get myself the LG KT770 phone for my next dig. I’m specifically interested in the geotagging and GPS capabilities. On my last dig in Azerbaijan, we were trying to uncover tombs and had to hike way up into the mountains or across wide plains – often without the foggiest notion of where we were. I mean – the team leader had a hand held GPS, but it was a pain in the neck to have to keep asking her for coordinates. They’re especially helpful when we’re mapping.
I would recommend the phone to anyone in the mapping, engineering, archaeology, or any industry that needs specific coordinates. Why carry a hand held GPS, a camera, and a phone when you can just carry a phone? And the accuracy matches that of the most sophisticated devices. Plus you have the internet at hand to look things up (The LG KT770 has WIFI and WLAN) and send messages and photos back to base when you are traveling. The LG KT770 also supports global roaming, by the way.
The phone also has a voice recording function which is great to take notes to yourself as you go along, or help you remember important locations and monuments along your travels. Hopefully, the battery life will last long enough so that you don’t have to keep running to base to recharge it. That is my only concern with this phone.
The LG mobile phones is Symbian S60 powered phone with a half decent interface and quite a few cool tricks and features up it’s sleeve. It looks sturdy and well made, is a sleek blue color, not to bulky, and also not those tiny phones that make it impossible to dial anything. I’m going to get myself one as soon as it’s out, and I recommend that you do the same.
