At long last, T-Mobile has begun selling its first LG cell phone. The new LG Sentio is a midrange touchscreen phone built for multimedia use. It can be yours for the affordable price of $69.99 after signing a two-year contract with T-Mobile.

Unfortunately, LG gave the Sentio a resistive touchscreen rather than a capacitive touchscreen. This means that the screen is not quite as responsive as it could have been. Resistive touchscreens also require pressing harder to get them to work. Despite this, the Sentio has several other good features. For instance, it comes with a simple yet thorough interface that proves to be user-friendly. We like that you can add songs to the music player via both an included USB cable and through a microSO card. All the standard features we expect to find in a phone these days are included in the Sentio—calculator, alarm clock, stopwatch, etc. But the phone also includes email, an HTML browser, GPS navigator, an app for interacting with social networking websites, instant messenger, Bluetooth, and a 3.0 megapixel camera. The battery life is long-lasting (approximately 6 hours), and you can download content quickly thanks to the internal 3G support. Again, this is a fairly impressive midrange multimedia phone, but the resistive touchscreen does require some patience.

LG describes the phone as follows in it press release -

“Several of the LG-KC780’s smart technologies focus around the most expressive part of a person, the face. Face Detection automatically finds and focuses on people’s faces to allow photographers to take clearer pictures. Part of this feature relies on LG’s Smile Detection technology, which can recognize the angle of people’s mouths and adjust focus for faces.

Other people-focused features on the LG-KC780 include easy-to-use shot modes that help make people look their best. With Smile Shot enabled the camera automatically triggers the shutter when it determines that the subject is smiling. And with Beauty Mode users can remove spots and imperfections on people’s faces, making sure the faces appear bright and clear in photos.

Great memories can happen anywhere and the LG-KC780 has a number features that ensure great shots no matter where they are taken. The LG-KC780 can almost see in the dark with adjustable light sensitivity up to an amazingly high ISO 1600. If an image is too bright, however, LG’s SmartLight™ setting automatically fixes it. A built-in Image Stabilizer ensures that pictures come out clear and sharp, even in shaky situations.

For those times when a picture is not enough, the LG-KC780’s D1 Video recording captures DVD-resolution video of every exciting moment. This means that movies captured on the handset will still look great when played back on a large screen TV.

The LG-KC780 is a full featured handset and includes the latest in mobile phone technology, including Smart Bluetooth, which opens up a number of new options when the phone is connected to a personal computer. For example, the phone’s camera can be used as a webcam for use in online conversations. Unlike USB webcams, this world’s first feature means that the camera can easily move with the user, as long as the phone stays within Bluetooth range.”

This looks like a phone to watch.  The true camera phones seem to be hitting the market.
