The phones are the first LG handsets to offer push social networking updates. The feature allows users to receive alerts from multiple social network sites as they are posted.

Additionally, users can use the feature to update their own statuses, personal pages or photos. Both handsets support push email for personal accounts and have Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for business accounts. Let’s see now what the new phones have to offer.

The LG GW520 was forged especially for messaging via social networks, email or SMS and IM.
