It features the Android 1.5 OS with Quad Band EDGE and Tri Band HSPA connectivity. It’s geared towards users who frequent social networking sites, as its SNS (Social Networks Services) Manager automatically pulls together Bebo, Facebook, and Twitter updates. Included also is LG’s proprietary S-class interface, a revolutionary GUI designed for managing and navigating contacts, apps, and multimedia much more quickly and easily. Additional notable features include a 5-line QWERTY keyboard, a 3” resistive touchscreen, a 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash, WiFi, and a plethora of built-in Google apps: Google Search, Google Maps, Google Latitude.


The Eve allows you to use a soft keyboard when you don’t have the hardware keyboard open. It chooses a T9 keyboard which is not a bad choice. The screen is fairly narrow and fitting any more keys would make it really hard to type. It would have been nice if it implemented Cootek’s keyboard for the Android but the LG keyboard works decently well because it’s assisted with an auto-complete/auto-correct. The auto-complete/auto-correct feature however is cumbersome to use with the slide-out keyboard because of its implementation.
LG made a few interesting design choices. For one, it forgoes the dedicated answer and end button along with a navigation pad. The only buttons in front are the back, home and menu buttons. The menu button is a physical button that you can actually press while the back and home buttons are the annoying touch sensitive buttons that ‘press’ if you accidentally brush your finger on them. The home and back buttons means something unexpected will happen  anytime you hand the Eve to someone.
The main menu has also been customized. Basically you can view all your apps from your main menu. There are different categories which you can put apps in. The idea is similar to LG’s stupid S-Class interface but it actually works on the Eve since you don’t have to scroll side to side to view each category’s app.

The camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels. It’s capable of taking decent (for a camera phone) pictures. I did find that the camera uses relatively slow shutter speeds which makes it less useful if your subject isn’t posing. I tried taking a lot of baby pictures with the Eve and got many many blurry pictures because of this. The camera does have some nice features including ISO setting and even a manual focus!
Video recording is much less impressive as you’re limited to a maximum resolution of 320×240 . You can use the flash as a video light but it has a very limited range.
The video editor allow you to trim video add sound or subtitles or change the video’s colour. Really, who cares when the maximum resolution is only 320×240. Music playback is handled by the default android music player.

the Eve would sporadically freeze or not wake up giving me a Black Screen of Death. The only way to get around it was to physically remove the battery which made it frustrating to use. It can take quite a while for the Eve to boot up after you remove the battery. Also, if you’re someone who keeps their finger nails very short you’ll have a lot of trouble removing the battery. But Lg had fixed the problem with latest unit.
 
Also there are many number of applications out there in android marketplace to be downloaded.
Despite of minor flaws LG eve is a great Mobile out there to buy.
