It’s equipped with a 3-inch resistive touchscreen that requires you to use a stylus for a few things. Using an Android phone with a stylus is just not a good thing.

The GT540 allows you to choose between the standard Android UI or swap it with a better looking LG version. The onscreen QWERTY keypad takes some getting used to because of the smaller screen size.

The best part about the LG UI is that you can create categories for your apps and drag and drop apps to these sections. Though a 3G handset, only EDGE/ GPRS is available for now.
