Merry Riana & LG Optimus 7

Many good things happened to me this year. Month after month,  I continue to receive great news. One of the most unforgettable ones is when I received a message saying that I was selected as the LG Life’s Good Ambassador. 

The Making of LG's Video

Went for a video shoot for LG early this month. Mine was the earliest slot, and I had to be at Raffles Place by 9.30am. Luckily during that time the place wasn't so crowded. I had a lot of fun smiling and acting in front of the camera.

Here are some moments captured:

And Here’s the final video

LG Optimus 7 Press Conference 

I was also invited to attend LG’s Press Conference (12th October 2010). It was a full house event. This was a special event because that’s the day when LG announced the Singapore launch of its first Windows Phone 7 devices, LG Optimus 7.

In conjunction with the LG Optimus 7 campaign, LG has appointed 7 personalities to be the LG Advocates and  also 7 other personalities to be their e-Fluencers. I am proud to be one of the 7 e-Fluencers.

Me & My LG Optimus 7

I received my LG Optimus 7 on the 15th October 2010. So happy to be one of the first few in Asia who own this cool phone. :) 

3 things that I did to start my journey with my new LG Optimus 7

1. Went to StarHub to get a new line and new data plan   

2. Read the manual (it's very small, and yet it contains EVERYTHING that I need to know)

3. Downloaded and installed Zune software from www.windowsphone.com to sync my LG phone with my laptop.

After that, I can fully utilized my LG Optimus 7.  

I have been using the phone for the past 12 days and I would say it is a really great phone. I love the fact that it helps me to stay connected while on-the-move. At the same time it is so easy to use. To be honest, I’m not so much a technology-savvy kind of person, so simplicity is good!

With my new Optimus 7, I can do more things in fewer steps!

There are 7 things that I love most about my LG Optimus 7. In this post, I’ll share 2 first, and I’ll continue with the rest in my other entries:

1.       Panorama Shot

Super easy to use, all you need to do is just to activate the mode. Once you’ve done so, you just need to press the shutter button once to take the first image. From there, you're guided by a color-coded box as to show you where the next frame is supposed to be, and, once in position, it automatically snaps the picture for you. That goes on until you put together five frames. After that LG will then stitched the images together automatically.  It's so simple! Here’s the photo that I took while attending the Burgundy Private Launch Party at Wisma Atria last week

2.       Scan Search

I called this a ‘Reality Camera’. It has the ability to show the nearest conveniences like coffee shops, banks, pharmacies, and hospitals onto a live video feed from my camera.

Here’s how it looks like.

First, choose what you want to search, i.e. Restaurant.

Then, just point your LG camera to any direction and the nearest restaurant within the range specified will be shown automatically.

You can also search other things, i.e. Bank.

Do the same thing and this time, the nearest bank will be shown automatically too.

Now guess what happened when you point the camera to the sky?

It will give you the weather updates. So Cool, right !!

I must confess that I am addicted to this function, everywhere I go, I'm always 'Scan-Searching'

I'm sure when you own this phone, you'll definitely do the same thing like I do too.

So far LG Optimus 7 has been really useful. One night, I was in the car along Orchard Road. My hubby was driving, while I was playing with my Scan Search Application. Suddenly, one of my favorite restaurants popped up. I thought this restaurant has closed down long ago, so I was surprised when it showed up on my LG. Since there was a phone number and an address attached to it, I immediately called them. Turned out the restaurant is still open, and that is the only outlet that was left (the rest of the branches closed down already). What a surprise!

So guess where I had my dinner that day?

Yup! In my Favorite Indonesian Restaurant. Thanks to LG !

  Life's Good when I have LG Optimus 7
