LG, like its neighbor Korea’s Samsung, has been enthusiastically adopted the technology for its touchscreen phones. Besides the production of handsets with touch screen based around its own operating system it also nestles at Microsoft does a few times to the package terminals with Windows Mobile OS from Redmond. This is not really a surprise then to note that the GM750 is among the first batch of devices running Microsoft’s new Windows offering Tel.

The GM750 closely follows the design template that LG has used on previous handsets like the Arena KM900, KC910 and Renior Cookie KP500. A 13 mm thick is a bit plump, but not too much as it is relatively small (compared to standard touch screen), it actually feels very comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand. And even if the phone is usually made from plastic, it feels quite solid and rigid, while the manager to tilt the balance in a rather light 119g.

As it is a touchscreen phone, the GM750 is mainly controlled by the menus on the screen, but LG has also equipped with an array of hardware controls decent. There is an on / off button at the top that doubles as a lock switch, while the right side is home to a rocker switch volume. On the left you will find the dedicated button, and a multitasking button to call a special menu multitasking LG. You will also find the microSD slot here, while LG has positioned the micro-USB port on the top right side of the phone. Unfortunately, the USB port also doubles as the headphone jack (we would have preferred a mini-jack for that), but at least the headset is a connection of two parts with a standard jack 3.5mm in the middle. This means that you can swap the headphones of your own set of cans without losing the hands-free functionality.

The biggest change from the norm with the physical design of GM750 is the optical joystick which can be found nestled under the touch screen. It works like a traditional D-pad, but there are no moving parts. Instead, a sensor for monitoring the surface of the tablet to work in what direction you slide your finger so that it can react accordingly. It can be used to navigate menus or scroll through long lists like contacts in the address book, and works quite well as it is reasonably responsive. [via trustedreviews]
